Quote:
To help protect you and your Bonnaroo investment, you will receive a specially designed wristband with a unique RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) chip that will be mailed to you in advance of the festival in lieu of a physical ticket. This secure RFID chip in your wristband is unique to you and your order. Your wristband is your ticket to Bonnaroo 2011!
Instructions regarding the RFID program and when and how to activate your wristband will accompany your order.
It's the New World Order versus the wooks! I somehow always knew it would come down to this.

Bonnaroo has a sweet lineup this year, but there is no way I can pay that much money. I'd fuckin love to see Bootsy Collins though..
Yeah, chips and shit in wristbands is weird. All for the sake of profit.

What? Festivals are supposed to be about freedom and awesomeness, nobody fucking needs to know exactly where you are

If you haven't realized yet, the government ain't about freedom and awesomeness and they do need to know everything you say and do.

Well there is a dramatically reduced government presence at festivals and that's the way i like it.

lol okay, i guess its just to keep people from cutting up their wristbands and getting friends in. But if they're scanning it at the security points that would be fucked up and lame, cause that is still a form of knowing where you are.

If you haven't realized yet, Bonnaroo is not the government.

really, if you have any nerdy friends it's easier to get in now than it was before. Have a few friends buy tickets, figure out the pattern they have (assuming they even have a pattern) and write new rfids. It costs like 50 bucks in hardware to do it

You would need to know what to write to the RFID though.
It's like event tickets with bar codes. You can pretty much print out any bar code you want, but if its not linked to a purchased ticket, its useless. The same would hold true with the RFID.

as i said, buy a few tickets and look. It's entirely possible they'll be stupid though and not write it well, trust me you'd be surprised. I've done work in the security industry where they do shit like that against my recommendation. The amount they lose is minuscule to nonexistant.

Interesting. I guess I figured if they went to the effort to use RFID's, they would be smart enough to make them tamper-proof.

Figures Bonnaroo would be the first festie to do something this fucking lame. Yet another reason why I won't go.
Also, this isn't the New World Order vs wooks, no real wook would pay for a music festival.

All you people thinking this is some lame tracking device are fucking hilarious. True stereotypes to the max. They will scan your wristband on the way in through the gate. After which, it won't have a purpose. They may install another one at the concertground to tryand gather some data about how many (and how frequently) of the roo participants actually see the music.
LOL. Oh noes! Soon they'll have a dataset! With that they can make charts and graphs?!?!?!?!?! Down with NWO. Down with Excel!

Excel is a tool of the NWO, it's the stuff that was found at ground zero...don't tell the wooks.

But they have a gate in the middle of the festival where all the music is with security like you said. So they will know when you're out and about and when you're in the middle. And this will make it much easier for them to nab large drug suppliers. Although people will still get around it. Idk...it's just a bad direction to go in and i'm gonna smash my wristband with a hammer if i go
