During all our Awakenings events we are working with a deposit system on all cups, cans and bottles we give out at the bars. We would like to collect as many as possible, to make sure they can be recycled!

1. At the entrance, after scanning your ticket, you’ll receive 1 FREE recycle token from us.
2. With each drink you order, you hand in your recycle token or an empty cup, can or bottle.
3. Lost your recycle token and/or your cup, can, bottle? Then you have to pay 1 regular token.
4. When you’re leaving the venue or you don’t want to have a new drink, you can hand in your empty cup, can or bottle at the bar or at the recycle points at the venue. The bar staff will give you your recycle token in return.
5. There is a unique code on the recycle token, after the event you can go to our website and fill out the code, then you have a chance of winning prizes!

When taking pictures and videos, please respect that some visitors might not want to be photographed or filmed.
