Wristband Tiers
Wristbands are collected at the Executive Lounge – Flower Shop Lounge (Bahnhofstrasse 3, Davos Platz).
Access tiers: Orange, Blue, Silver, Gold, Black.

Lounge Access
GC reserves the right to modify event access, timings, or speaker/artist lineups without notice. Executive Lounges may be closed due to security reasons, at any time. GC is not responsible for partner lounge operations, staffing, or service levels.

If a Wristband is lost or damaged:

• Replacement is not guaranteed

• GC may issue a replacement at its discretion

• ID verification is required

• A replacement fee may apply
