We know some attendees purchased their festival tickets using a Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) payment provider, such as Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm, or another installment payment service. We understand you may have questions about how your payment plan will be affected now that the festival has been canceled.
If you used a BNPL provider, your payment agreement remains between you and your payment provider while your ticket refund is being processed. Because refunds will be issued over the coming weeks, you may continue to see scheduled installment payments during that time.
Here's what to expect:
If you have already completed your installment payments, your refund will be issued once your ticket refund has been processed.If you are still making payments, your payment provider may continue collecting scheduled installments until the refund is received and applied to your account. Once the refund has been processed, your provider will update your balance or issue any applicable reimbursement according to its policies and the terms of your payment agreement.Refund processing times vary, so there may be a period during which your scheduled payments continue before the refund is reflected by your payment provider.If you have questions about your payment schedule, balance, or installment plan, please contact your payment provider directly, as only they can access your account and provide details specific to your payment agreement. If you have questions about the status of your festival refund, our customer support team is here to help.
We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through the refund process. Our team is committed to issuing refunds as quickly as possible, and we'll continue to provide updates throughout the process.

Sí. Todos los compradores recibirán un reembolso del 100% al método original de pago, incluyendo quienes hicieron su compra con un plan de pagos.

Sabemos que algunas personas compraron sus entradas para el festival usando un servicio de compra ahora, paga después (Buy Now Pay Later), como Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm u otro proveedor de pagos en cuotas. Entendemos que puede tener preguntas sobre qué pasará con su plan de pagos ahora que el festival ha sido cancelado.
Si utilizó un proveedor de BNPL, su acuerdo de pago sigue siendo entre usted y ese proveedor mientras procesamos el reembolso de sus entradas. Como los reembolsos se enviarán durante las próximas semanas, es posible que vea que los pagos de sus cuotas continúan según lo programado durante ese tiempo.
Esto es lo que puede esperar:
Si ya terminó de pagar todas sus cuotas, recibirá su reembolso una vez que se haya procesado el reembolso de sus entradas.
Si todavía está haciendo pagos, es posible que su proveedor de BNPL siga cobrando las cuotas programadas hasta que reciba y aplique el reembolso a su cuenta. Después de eso, actualizará el saldo de su cuenta o le devolverá cualquier monto que corresponda, de acuerdo con sus políticas y con los términos de su plan de pago.
El tiempo que tarda en procesarse un reembolso puede variar. Por eso, es posible que sus pagos programados continúen por un tiempo antes de que el reembolso aparezca en su cuenta.
Si tiene preguntas sobre sus pagos, el saldo de su cuenta o su plan de cuotas, comuníquese directamente con su proveedor de BNPL. Solo ellos pueden acceder a la información de su cuenta y darle detalles sobre su plan de pagos. Si tiene preguntas sobre el estado del reembolso de sus entradas para el festival, nuestro equipo de atención al cliente está disponible para ayudarle.
Agradecemos mucho su paciencia y comprensión mientras trabajamos para procesar todos los reembolsos. Nuestro equipo está haciendo todo lo posible para enviarlos lo antes posible y seguiremos compartiendo actualizaciones durante todo el proceso.
