FAQ
Wristband pick-up points!
For a significantly smoother festival experience this year, we are introducing two pick-up points where you have to exchange your ticket for a wristband.
One at Operaplein and one at KdG Hogeschool Groenplaats (entrance via Pandstraat).
IMPORTANT:
• There will be NO wristbands available at the doors of any venue this year.
• Everyone must visit one of these two pick-up points first to get secured for entry.
• Wristbands can only be collected on November 10.

Is there a minimum age?
The minimum age at all Full Circle events is 18+. However, events at WOOM and Leienpaleis have a 21+ age policy.

Do you hire volunteers?
Which venues can I enter with my ticket?
Your Full Circle ticket grants you access to all participating venues on the day of your visit. However, please note that not all locations are open every day. Additionally, once a venue reaches its capacity, we won’t be able to admit more people, even with a valid ticket. Popular events may have waiting lines, so we recommend checking our website throughout the night. A live heatmap will show real-time updates from each venue, helping you see whether there’s a queue or a location is full or empty before you head over.

Can I pay with cash?
For Drinks:
Full Circle does not manage all bars, so check the website from each venue. At our own bars, customers can pay with cash by loading the amount onto a cash card, which can be used to purchase drinks at the bars. Each location has one cash point where this can be done. The cash card costs €1 to purchase, and be aware: the leftover value is non-refundable. Treat your cashless card as cash, in case of loss you will not be refunded. Please check out our cashless policy here: terms & conditions.
For Tickets:
As Full Circle is most probably selling out soon, the best is to buy your tickets online. At this moment cash ticket sales are not foreseen.
For all others (lockers, toilets, etc.):
Full Circle is not running these services at all venues and we would advice to bring your credit or debit cards AND cash.
How does the cup and eco-token system work?
To minimize waste, we use a circular reusable cup system at some of the official festival-managed locations (check list below). Here is everything you need to know from your first drink to your last:
1. Getting your drinks
- The first round: When you order your first drink, you will pay a €1 contribution fee for your reusable cup. For every sold eco cup we donate €0.20 to 11.11.11 for international solidarity.
- The next round: Simply return your empty cup to the bar when ordering again to receive a fresh cup at no extra charge.
2. Moving between locations
- Cups must stay at the venue where they were served. If you are moving to a new official location, follow these steps:
- Hand in your empty cup at the bar before you leave.
- Receive an eco-token in exchange.
- At your next location, hand in that eco-token at the bar to get your fresh cup for free!
3. Where to use this system
The eco-token system is exclusively active at our official venues:
- Antwerpen-Centraal
- MAS
- Zaal AthenA
- Het Steen
Note: Regular clubs not listed above are not part of this system and have their own internal house rules regarding cups and drinks.
Will there be a cloakroom?
Most venues offer lockers or a supervised cloakroom, but please note that some locations, such as China Star and Stormkop, only have an unsupervised cloakroom.
Our organization is not responsible for any loss, theft, or damage to belongings left in lockers or cloakrooms, whether supervised or unsupervised, and regardless of whether they are managed by us or an external provider. We strongly encourage visitors to avoid leaving valuables in lockers or cloakrooms and to keep personal belongings secure at all times.
Transport
How do I get to Full Circle?
Full Circle takes place across many different venues in Antwerp, so travel info depends from location to location. However, we strongly advise using public transport, as parking is not always an available or accessible option. If you want to travel between different venues during the night (when trams and buses are not running), you can use other options like Donkey Republic, Velo, Swapfiets and many other ride-sharing apps. Sharing a taxi with other dancers is also highly recommended.
Can I still take the train to Antwerpen Centraal?
Trains to and from Antwerpen Centraal still follow their regular schedule. Full Circle takes place in the station’s central hall, which can be sealed off from the rest of the station. Do you want to catch a train while the music is still playing? Just enter the station from the side entrance to access the platforms.
How can I go from venue to venue?
Our transport page will go live soon – including special deals with our partners Vélo, Swapfiets, Donkey Republic, Get Driven and felyx. In the meantime, we strongly advise using public transport, as parking is not always an available or accessible option. If you want to travel between different venues during the night (when trams and buses are not running), you can use other options like ride-sharing apps. Sharing a taxi with other dancers is also highly recommended.
Where can I park?
We do not advise taking your car to a Full Circle event, and we do not provide additional parking for our events. If you must travel by car, use the available parking garages near the venue you want to visit.
