HI...so this is a question for volunteers, particular if anyone volunteered at a different event with these RFID wristbands. I will be attending bonnaroo as a volunteer this year. I will be there to check in on the 7th. for personal reasons, I would like to not volunteer anymore. however the fest is sold out, so i am prepared to forfeit my almost $300 that I put in for bonnaroo volunteering. my question is though with these freaking little CHIPS, will they make note that perhaps I how should i say it, threw away my volunteer duties, and deactivate my wristband? thus forcing me to leave the fest? it said in a recent email failure to show up, or show up late will result in a deposit forfeit, and persons can be subject to be escorted out of the fest. please dont lecture me- i should have never signed up as a volunteer in the first place. yes i know that. please just tell me what you think they will do to volunteers who dont show up to their duties in relation to this chip? thanks a lot
I would definitely contact them in advance to try to work this out. The email they sent out today says the following:
I understand that if I fail to check in at the WET tent for any and all assigned shifts, I will lose my entire deposit, regardless of the work I have already performed toward my obligation and am subject to having my wristband deactivated and escorted off site immediately.
But I've heard voices not in the head Out in the air they called ahead Through ripped out speakers Through thick and thin They found a shelter Under my skin -Evgeny Aleksandrovitch Nikolaev

WET hasn't fulfilled their volunteer quota yet, so I would imagine they will be pretty tough on no-shows. I don't know if they'll deactivate your wristband or not, but I would sure be prepared for that to happen. I would call them now at 404-567-4452. It would be a bitch to show up and get turned away at the gate.

If you volunteer to do a job you do it, just put on your big girl panties and do what you said you would. If you are just going to show up and not do your job I kind of hope they kick you out regardless of your deposit. Personal responsibility really seems like a dying art sometimes....

If I read your post correctly you are also planning on showing up on the 7th to check in. At which point you will receive a t-shirt, wristband, and I believe a BBQ. So you will partake in that knowing you have no intention of keeping your end of the bargin.

yeah chick......there is 1000 ppl that would kill to have the chance youHAVE. Like said above suck it up do your duties and have a good time...You put up 300 bucks..why did you not just buy a ticket? Dont bail man.. You will regret it afterwards!! Show everyone on this board that you are a better person than you seem to be!!
See everyone that earned there ticket In 7 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
don't make it harder on the rest of us volunteers. they say we have to agree to take on more hours and whatnot if its deemed necessary, and you run the risk of getting kicked out anyway. not worth the worry/risk. It can actually be fun volunteering and a great way to meet people.

^^^I completely agree with this!
I volunteered out of necessity last year and while I hated not being with my crew and missing certain shows, it really paid off to show up where needed and then go rage afterward. Not only does showing people where to throw their trash give you the warm and fuzzies, everyone's appreciation of your efforts add to that.
My opinion is you stink. The volunteers work so hard. I always make sure to pick my crap, get them a beverage if they look thirsty, and also bring in my own ashtray so they don't need to do more stuff than they already need to do. You are going to be leaving people hanging on purpose. That is so lame.
As far as what the Roo crew will do to you for backing out, who knows for sure? You should be kicked out, and your awesome t shirt should be confiscated. Finally your profile says you are 22. How about you act like it and do the jobs you sign up for? I'm only 25 at this point, don't make our generation look any more lazy than it is.
I volunteer not out of necessity, but because of the people I will meet and friends I will make. You get to see Bonnaroo from a different view than most, and it is beautiful. Stop the games and fulfill your obligation.
Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers. the ones who see things differently...while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. -Steve Jobs
