It really wasnt what i was doing, lol. My buddy i was with had too much corn so he was trying to get rid of some of it. And he happened to be seen by undercovers (which by the way were drinking beer, i kid you not) and they swarmed us and shook us down. In the end they cut all of our wristbands off and told us they better not see us again. They didnt make us leave, but i def wasnt going on that part of shakedown again. lol Luckly this happened at about 7pm on sunday of 2010.

I still have my '10 wristband on. Although it got cut off during an appendectomy and I had to sew it back on. So it's been off for 2 days out of the past 2 years.
At one point I had 07-10 on my wrist, but after the fest in 2010 immediately cut all 4 off. Last year's was removed the second I exited Centeroo for the last time. Still regret cutting the first four off though...

Interesting Sarah. They were clipped for VIP if I remember right.
Regarding how to fool the rfids it is really hard to do since they all have a unique identifier and only one can be.activated at once.
Very easy to get around this stumbling block because we had to do this last year for a few folks. All that you need to do if you get wristbands from locals is when you get the wristband, run a powerful magnet across the RFID chip and it will reset it back to making it seem as you got scanned out of the grounds by the staff. This means when you come back into the grounds, they will scan the chip and it will activate it again without it looking like anything suspicious. Then proceed into entering the festival grounds.

Just trying to help folks out if you happen to purchase a wristband from locals. 150 bucks is much better than full price and for me I can get access of up to 8 with one of the families that I have been working with the last 3 years (the pleasures of being a semi local from Murfreesboro). Using the magnet does not completely zero it out, it just makes it look like you have been scanned out of the grounds after the locals pick it up since they scan it at the facility the locals pick it up from. This is the method that was used to help if you did pick up wristbands from locals that have them already placed on their wrists that wednesday afternoon from the local authorities. This only needs to be used for the local wristbands.
I was more giving assistance to anyone that may be purchasing the wristband from locals and that is the route you have to take to get it to work.
Shady, ehhh. Just making it in one way or the other is all that matters.
