Think I figured out at least one of the reasons why registering your wristband is mandatory this year. There will be RFID scanners within Centeroo at 4 different locations. Scanning your wristband at each of these 4 locations will give you an additional entry into the Ford Escape giveaway.
From the giveaway rules:
Event Entry : Registered individuals who have successfully received the Wristband and Facebook Entries are eligible to receive up to four (4) additional entries by visiting the Ford Escape display, and other Sponsor selected displays, at the Bonnaroo Event ("Event Entries"). Event Entries will be registered at the different locations by scanning the RFID Wristband at each display. All Event Entries must be submitted by 7:59 AM ET on 6/11/12. Limit: Four (4) Event Entries per person or email address.
My guess is that Bonnaroo hired some sort of marketing company to overlook the scans - Such as what time and what age people were checking in. Based on these results, they can then make recommendations for future dates...of course this would only work if they ask us our birthdate when registering our wrist band.
Random question my friend has: He bought two tickets, one for him (Mr.A) and obviously one for a friend (Mr.B). Does Mr. A register both wristbands or does he register one and let Mr. B register the other?

Good question...I wonder if they will scan the wristband and make sure it matches the buyer, or if they will scan the wristband, then check the person's id who is getting it put on.
I bet your friend can do either as long as he enters with the friend whose wristband he bought so if they think it's stolen, he can clarify the situation.
Oh god.. Up until recently, I worked for a dealership as BDC agent, meaning I responded to all incoming internet/phone sales leads. Occasionally we'd get "OneSource" internet leads (will be named differently for Ford, we were a GM dealer) where 99% of the people I called were confused and pissed off -- it came through to me as them requesting information on a vehicle they were interested in, but upon doing some snooping in the source code I found out that anyone who entered for a chance to win a vehicle was sent through to be harrassed via my 90-day follow-up schedule, which included a call and an e-mail almost every day.
Certain events, like a snowboarding revue put on by Mountain Dew, sent through everyone's information who even walked through the gates. Every single person who attended this Mountain Dew thing got 90 days worth of follow up from me trying to sell them a vehicle. I hated this leads and didn't agree with them but that was my job.
My main concern is: is Bonnaroo going to sell our information to Ford? Are we all going to look forward to a buttload of harrassment from every Ford dealership within a 25-mile radius of our shipping address? It wasn't just me who received the leads... 5-10 dealerships would all be calling these people, to the point where within an hour of receiving the lead their voice mail boxes would be full.
If this works the way every event I have received leads from in the past works, we can all look forward to our information being owned by Ford. Does Bonnaroo have a policy about what they do with our information? Very concerned about this, as dealerships often do unscrupulous sharing of customer information (a favorite way to obtain customer information for incomplete profiles was to purchase registries from Domino's.)
I'm sure data mining is part of the issue but keeping people out who didn't buy a ticket is another part. Fake bracelets have been rampant the last few years and not to be a bitch but I've made choices to buy my ticket and don't love the space being jammed with folks that didn't.

Bought 2 tickets. I registered my wristband using information specific to me. My son registered his using information specific to him. Both got processed speedy-quick. If that was wrong I guess we'll find out at the gate.
So I am buying my ticket from someone else. Is this going to cause problems with registering?? I hadn't considered this.
If they have not registered it, you are good to go. If they have already registered it, may give you an error message. I used the same name for my double-registering experiment, so I don't know what would happen if it were a different name. I tried to contact the e-mail address they gave for registration questions yesterday and it came back as an undeliverable address. ???
I was going to buy off someone local but I can save $50 if I get a ticket off stubhub, and money is tight for me this year so that 50 bucks would help a lot in the way of gas and supplies. Guess I may just bite the bullet and spend the extra money

With the relationship between Stub Hub and Bonaroo I'd think this might actually be safer. Am I nuts?
Yeah I can get two tickets on stubhub for 220 after shipping and service fees. My friend was going to throw in so we could save money. I just keep hearing mixed things.
I believe it's because people bought tickets and for whatever reason they can't go or don't need them. They would rather make some of their $$$ back than eat the ticket price. Since the tickets aren't sold out at bonnaroo.com people also have an easier time selling the tickets if they are lower than cost. If those people selling the tickets bought them during the June presale, it's possible that they are selling it for the amount they paid.
Oh I made the decision. I'm ordering off StubHub later today. The mixed things I've heard were some people saying StubHub is fine because it's partner with roo and others saying just spend the extra money for the peace of mind (if stubhub is fine why would I need peace of mind?)
But I'm ordering 2 from stubhub today. Hoping all goes well and I get them soon and blah blah. Thanks dudes.
