haha funny story...I noticed one of my friends kept confusedly staring at his wristband while he was "elevated" so I asked him what was wrong. He replied "is patron a sponsor?" I can't figure out why their name is on the wristband. Apparently for most of the weekend until we corrected him he thought patron was refering to the tequila company...
I can't even tell you how many people have asked me why I'm wearing a bracelet that says Patron, as in the tequila....
Haha same here Not gonna lie, that was my initial reaction but I figured it out after about 5 seconds. I joked about it all weekend though

man, i will never not think that says Patron (tequila).
the summer of roo '10 i was taking a summer class. every morning i would eat breakfast in the student center and watch the world cup with like 8 other strangers. that was always at like 8 or 9 in the morning so we basically never talked more than the occasional comment about the game.
well the first morning back from roo we all noticed everyone in the group had a lovely red PATRON bracelet on... needless to say we talked A LOT more after that.
Ok, so I haven't been to Roo since 07....if we get a wristband in the mail do we still get a paper ticket? I really liked the tickets that I received in years past. I always thought that they were a good momento.

Last year VIPs got a commemorative/souvenir ticket thing when they arrived. Maybe they'll do the same thing.

So regarding the RFIFD tag..... I'm no conspiracy theorist or anything but.... after a minute or less of research I found that those tags are used to track things as diverse as: merchandise from the manufacturer to the shelves, Alzheimer patients, and even pets.
Does this mean that they will be able to track everyone's location? Say, wristband #123456789 gets arrested for droogs. Will they then be able to backtrack his whereabouts for the entire time on the farm?
Or, will the mounties have scanners and when they see trouble they're just a 'bleepbleep' away from knowing your real name?
Or.... on the 'it's a good thing' side of things, If someone hear's cries of Help coming from the woods, will they be able to figure out which wristbands (and thus people) ever went into the woods at all?
edit: Anyway, last time I was at Roo I brought a GPS unit so later I knew how many miles I walked, where I went when I don't remember where I went, etc. I wonder if I could just ask for my wristband tracks this year!

The short answer to your question is no. Think of an RFID as a barcode used at a store that can be scanned from approximately 5-10 feet away. There is no tracking of your location possible except when they (if they) scan you when you enter centeroo. It would be theoretically possible for your name and address and other information to be stored on the RFID but i highly doubt they will utilize that considering how much resale of tickets goes on.
