dumb question
People fall into 2 categories on this "Cloth! because it's comfortable and durable, and I like to wear mine well past the fest"
or
"I don't care"
I always wear mine for the entire year til the following. One of my favorite parts of choosing Lolla this year instead is I still have a cloth band to wear all year

Chip Implant. Just think. You would have to be really out of it to lose something implanted in your hand. Also, you could pretend you were Jason Bourne. It'd be great!
wristband ticket was a good idea but this years sucked. i like to wear it for as long as possible after roo n i couldn't get 2 weeks before i had to cut it off this year

It was plastic last year and I'll expect it to be again, Here are some other thoughts though the RFID chips did not last, many wristbands had to be replaced. It's easy to find a blue piece of plastic and make it look like a wristband but not so easy to make a cloth band. Roo figures however it is almost impossible to get the plastic one off and give it to someone else. It's not that hard to do.
the flashy one would be cool! it would help light up late nights for sure!! haha
i had a $100 bet with a friend to who could wear the roo wristband the longest. mine finally fell off at north coast music fest around labor day. man did it look like shit though, all falling apart and faded white..
i really hope they go back to cloth. horrible horrible plastic needs to stay away

I liked the cloth wristbands because I was able to save em and sew em into my camelbak, but I didnt mind last years plastic wristbands at all. I thought that theyd be uncomfortable but they werent at all.
Yeah they really need to do Coachella style bands if they NEED to keep the RFID chip.
Agreed. Although it's really easy to sew and RFID tag into a cloth wristband without a big bulky tag like both events had. There are companies doing this kind of thing today using choke points with much wider entrances than the scanners at both venues. I personally think the RFID scanning makes more sense than bracelets without. If they could get their technology crap together that is.

That's pretty close to what Coachella did, their tag was just a bit larger. I'm suggesting they imbed the tag into the cloth. It's widely done in other industries.
Cloth gets my vote for sure. The plastic was not as annoying as I thought it would be but I still like the design and wear of the cloth band much better.

Moogfest did cloth with a plastic chip on them, just like lollappalooza. Since AC Entertainment did Moogfest, maybe they will use those for Bonnaroo next year.

On the left! RunningRaleigh had the brilliant idea of tucking the tail through the plastic too, so it never got in the way!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
