FAQ

Tinderbox 2025 takes place 26-28 June 2025 in Tusindårsskoven, Odense.

Opening hours for individual festival days will be announced in spring.

The Tinderbox festival site is situated in Tusindaarsskoven in Odense. Entrance to the festival site via the intersection Kløvermosevej/Falen.

Purchase of tickets is not subject to any return. Therefore, you can not get your money refunded, if you are unable to attend the festival. Tickets are only refundable if the festival is canceled. Please see conditions at the official ticket provider.

For questions about refunding or changing already purchased tickets, please refer to info@tinderbox.dk.

The final line up is subject to any changes.

We strongly advise that you only purchase tickets from our offical ticket supplier United Tickets, and do not use pages like Viagogo who deliberately sell tickets at overprice.

When buying a ticket from someone you do not know, the ticket may in theory be fake or copied, and therefore the barcode will not work at the entrance. This means you will be rejected at the entrance and Tinderbox takes no responsibility for this. As follows we can not in any way help you verify tickets that are purchased unofficially.

There is only disabled parking on Væddeløbsbanen. Here, you must have a valid handicap sign in the car to park, and you therefore do not have to buy a parking ticket. A shuttle bus runs between the disabled parking and the entrance. There is, of course, room for wheelchairs and companions in the bus as well.

There is no special disability festival passes for Tinderbox. All you have to do is buy a ticket for yourself via our ticket provider.

If you have a valid companion card from the Danish Handicap Organizations’ User Service (or equivalent from abroad), you can bring one companion free of charge.

When you arrive at the festival site, get your own wristband first. Then you and your companion must go to the Information booth, which is located at the main entrance. Here, your companion will get a 1-day wristband.

Your companions wristband will always match yours. Ex. If you buy a VIP ticket for yourself, your companion gets VIP access as well.

Note: If you have purchased a partout ticket, your companion will still receive a new one-day wristband every day.

There are toilets for people with disabilities at the festival site. The toilets can only be accessed with a key.

To get a key, you must go to the Information stand by the main entrance, where you put down a deposit of 200 kr. in exchange for a key. Then the key is yours for the entire festival. At the end of use you must return the key at the Information stand to get your deposit back.

There will be separate podiums for wheelchair users and disabled toilets at the festival site.

Please note, that most of the site is covered with grass and that in case of rain it can be difficult to get around in a wheelchair.

There are self-service lockers on site. They come in different sizes and with or without the option of charging your phone. The lockers are located just to the right of the entrance, inside the festival area.

Book a locker, and make sure to avoid carrying your backpack, extra clothes, spare sunglasses, and whatever else is on your list of festival must-haves around.

There is a limited number, so we recommend pooling together if possible. A limited number of lockers are reserved, which will be available for sale on-site.

More info on how to book lockers will be available closer to the festival.

Tinderbox is located a few kilometers from Odense C. The exact address is Tusindårsskoven, Falen, Odense V.

If you come from Odense C, it is easiest to go via Vesterbro, turn left at Grønløkkevej and then turn right onto Falen. Then you will arrive at Tusindårsskoven on your right.

If you are coming from Odense Railway Station, turn down Vestre Stationsvej, turn right onto Vesterbro and shortly afterwards turn left onto Falen. Stay at Falen until you meet Tusindårsskoven on your right hand side.

You can also use the Odense Rundt app, which can help you find exactly your easiest way to Tinderbox.

If you come cycling to Tinderbox, you can park your bike in one of the bike parking areas. You will find the areas to the right and left of the main entrance.

NOTE
Parking of bicycles in the bicycle parking is at your own risk.
Parking of bicycles anywhere other than in the bicycle parking spaces is not permitted.
Bicycle batteries are allowed on site, however you must keep the battery in a locker at all times.

During Tinderbox FynBus has arranged shuttle buses between Odense Central Station and the festival site. You can read more about tickets and timetables here.

Taxis will stop near the intersection at Falen and Kløvermosevej.

Please be aware of illegal taxies.

Which forms of payment are valid on Tinderbox?

Credit cards are accepted in all stalls. It is not possible to pay with cash in the stalls, but in the value card stalls you can have cash deposited on a value card that can be used in all stalls.

The following payment cards can be used in all sales stalls:

– Dankort
– Mastercard
– Maestro
– Visa
– Visa Electron
– Foreign Visa
– American Express
– Eurocard
– CUP
– JCB International

I have a debit card – can I use it?

Debit cards are valid payment in all our bars and stalls. If you, as a debit card holder, encounter a cash register terminal that is offline, the debit card will not be usable. Often the offline situation will only be linked to the individual cash register, which is why the neighboring cash register will most likely be able to complete the payment. The staff is instructed in how to proceed.

If all cash terminals are offline in a bar or a stall, it will not be possible to make a payment by debit card. Our guests are referred to the value card booth that can help in such a situation.

NB! When buying food and beverages at the festival, ”Down The Drain” (not Tinderbox) will appear on your bank statements.

What is contactless payment?

The banks issue payment cards that can be used as “contactless payment”, provided that the terminal is able to receive contactless payment. Such cards are equipped with an NFC chip. You can check if your card is ready for contactless payment by looking for this mark on the card.

If your card does not have this mark, you can contact your bank if you want to be ready for contactless payment.

At Tinderbox, all Dankort terminals receive contactless payment. This means that a payment is made by simply holding your card over the terminal, if the amount is less than DKK 350. For amounts over DKK 350, you must enter your PIN code, and when your card has been used contactlessly 10 times without entering of PIN, enter your PIN regardless of the amount. This is solely to avoid abuse if you lose a card with NFC chip.

We will of course accept your cash at the site (max DKK 14,999). In our value card booth, you can deposit cash on to a value card that you can use anywhere on the site.

If you spend all the money on your value card, you can contact the value card booth to get it filled up (unless you already reached the limit of DKK 14,999)

Read more about value cards under the section “Value cards”.

You can not use MobilePay at Tinderbox.

If you lose your credit card, you have the option to purchase a value card in our value card booth.

Read more about value cards under the section “Value cards”.

Remember to block your credit card so that it is not misused.

The mobile network always works poorly at a festival!

We have a strong focus on the mobile network, but are also aware that it is sometimes heavily burdened, and that is the reason why we have chosen not to let our payment system be dependent on the mobile network.

The payment system is connected around a wired internet connection and is therefore not affected if the mobile network is burdened.

What happens if the internet fails?

There will be ongoing challenges for the internet connection at an outdoor festival site – cables are torn over, power fails or the like. In the vast majority of cases, the problem is related to individual bars/stalls and often to only one or a few terminals in – and the vast majority of problems are solved within a very short time.

It does not affect the payment options if the cash terminals are offline, so it is not something you as a guest will notice unless you are a debit card holder (see section on Nets).

Do you not have a debit or credit card or just want to pay with cash on Tinderbox? Whatever the reason, you can choose a value card. In the value card booth, you can deposit money on a value card, which you can then use in all bars and stalls.

Deposit on the value card

When buying a value card, you must pay a deposit of 100 DKK. The deposit will be returned at the value card stall when you have your remaining balance paid out. If you decide to contact Tinderbox at info@tinderbox.dk after the festival, the 100 DKK deposit will cover an administration fee of 85 DKK.

If payment of a possible balance must be made via bank transfer, either during or after the festival, as described in the section on balance, an administration fee of 85 DKK will be charged for administration in connection with the bank transfer. The fee will be set off against your deposit if there is insufficient balance on the value card to cover the administration fee.

ATTENTION! If you use up the card, do NOT give it to the bartender, as you will not be able to get your deposit back. To get your deposit back you must return the value card to the value card stall.

Photograph your value card

When you receive your value card, it is a good idea to photograph it so that the 10-digit number on the card can be read. You need the image if you lose your value card, and you must use it if you want any balance transferred via bank transfer after the festival (procedure is described in more detail in the section on balance).

Can I use my value card again?

Yes, value cards bought in connection with Tinderbox 2022, can be used during future Tinderbox festivals. If you keep your value card, your balance will remain on your card. Your deposit will be returned, once you return the card to the value card stall.

How do I get my balance on the credit card returned?

You can go to the value card stall at any time and have your remaining balance transferred to your payment card. You will also receive your deposit back.

Please note, that it’s only possible to receive the balance on a credit card. It will not be possible to get the refund back in cash or via MobilePay.

If you do not have a credit card, please write an email to info@tinderbox.dk. You must include the 10-digit card number + your bank information in order to receive the remaining balance via bank transfer. In connection with the bank transfer there will be charged a 85 DKK fee. The fee will be set off against your deposit, if there is not enough balance on your value card to cover the administration fee.

Processing time for payment of the remaining balance via bank transfer can be up to 30 days.

When is the value card booth open?

The value card booth follows the festival site’s opening hours.

What happens if I lose my value card?

When you buy a value card in the value card booth, you must photograph the 10-digit card number on the front of the card, so you always have it if you lose the card. If you have an accident, you should contact the value card booth immediately, and they will make sure to shut down the lost card and transfer your remaining balance to a new card.

It is possible to use contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay in our bars and stalls. There may be temporary outages on the festival site’s internet. Contactless/mobile payment cannot be used during these periods.

What is contactless?

The banks issue payment cards that can be used as “contactless payment”, if the Dankort terminal is capable of receiving contactless payment. Such cards are equipped with an NFC chip. You can check if your card is ready for contactless payment by looking for this mark on the card.

If your card does not have this mark, you can contact your bank if you want to be ready for contactless payment.

At Tinderbox, all Dankort terminals accept contactless payment. This means that a payment is made by simply holding your card over the Dankort terminal, if the amount is under DKK 350. For amounts over DKK 350, you must enter your pin code, and when your card has been used contactless 10 times without entering of pin code, you must enter your pin code regardless of the size of the amount. This is purely to prevent abuse if you lose a card with an NFC chip.

If you are suffering from allergies or have other special needs that can be a challenge during the festival or if you cannot consume the food offered on the site for health reasons, you can write us an e-mail.
