Booking an Event Locker for a Group: One Code or One Each?

One person books, one code arrives. An Event Locker is booked and coded as a single unit, not per person, so a group sharing a locker holds one access code between them rather than getting one each.

That is a simple rule, but it is not written down anywhere on getvolt.dk, and it changes how a group should actually book. Here is what the booking flow means in practice, and when a group is better off booking more than one locker instead of relying on one code to work for everyone.

How Event Locker access actually works

The booking flow is the same for a solo festival goer or a group of six: browse, select, pick up, enjoy. Whoever completes the booking gets a locker number and a personal access code, sent by email and SMS shortly before the booking's slot starts. That is one code per locker, tied to the booking, not to the individual people who will use it.

Once the code lands, access is unlimited for the length of the booking. The locker can be opened and re-locked as many times as needed during opening hours at no extra cost, and it stays booked for a single day or the full festival depending on what was purchased. There is no power outlet inside and the locker holds roughly 30x30x50cm, so it fits phones, wallets, a rain jacket and similar essentials rather than full festival bags.

So what happens when a group shares one locker?

In practice, the code holder becomes the group's key. Whoever booked the locker can pass the code to the rest of the group by text or word of mouth, and any of them can then open it during opening hours, the same way a household shares one door code. Volt has not published a separate mechanism for issuing multiple codes against a single locker, so a group sharing one booking is sharing one code, full stop.

That works fine for a small group who trust each other and are usually together anyway, which describes most festival camps. It works less well if the group splits up for long stretches and everyone needs independent access without waiting on one person to be reachable. A lost phone or a dead battery on the code holder's end becomes the whole group's problem, not just theirs.

When a group should book more than one locker instead

If independent access matters more than saving on the rental, the straightforward fix is to book two or more lockers rather than one shared code. Pricing runs roughly 65 to 125 DKK for a single day and 150 to 399 DKK for the full festival depending on the event, so splitting a group across two lockers is a real cost tradeoff worth weighing against the convenience of everyone having their own code.

A middle option some groups use is splitting by sub-group rather than by person: one locker and one code for the two or three people who tend to move together, a second for the rest. That keeps the number of codes manageable without leaving any one person locked out when they need something.

Whatever the split, the same access rule applies underneath: a locker's code is issued once, to whoever books it, and the strength of that model is exactly what makes it simple. Single-code, shared-secret access is standard practice for temporary and rental storage generally, precisely because it avoids the overhead of managing separate credentials for every user, per the general mechanics described on Wikipedia's electronic lock entry. Volt's Event Lockers follow that same logic rather than anything festival-specific.

FAQ

Can I ask Volt to send the code to more than one phone number?

Not through the standard booking flow. The code goes by email and SMS to the one contact on the booking, so if the group needs it on more than one phone, the code holder has to forward it themselves.

Does it cost more to book a locker as a group than solo?

No, the price is set by locker and duration, not by how many people use it. A group sharing one locker pays the same single-day or full-festival price as one person would.

What if the code holder loses their phone mid-festival?

Find the Volt Crew on site. Event Lockers are monitored daily with on-site support, so a lost code is recoverable without waiting until after the festival.
