Bestival wrist bands

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Just in case the organisers read this - don't make the wrist bands out of the same colour and design as the lanyards for the small programme. I bumped into one drug dealer who said she got in by waving a cut off piece of lanyard (tied to her wrist) which was the same colour, design etc as the official wrist band. I wonder how many of the thieves used the same tactic to get in?

Might be worth putting this on the official forum..

I saw plenty of people who did this. The sort of people I wouldn't want at a festival.

On another note the wristbands this year were awful quality. I was working on the gate as a wristbander and 5 to 10 in every 100 would break or would already be broken.

We ran out of wristbands at around 2 oclock on Friday and emergency wristbands had to be issued. Which was great fun for us as we got all the abuse from punters and the people who made the mistake of there not being enough wristbands were no were to be seen and we cop all the flack!

i knew people would do that as soon as i saw the lanyard. i did it in my first year of uni, some people didn't have freshers week wristbands and the lanyard that had the timetable of events for the week was exactly the same as the wristband so we cut the lanyard up and got about 5 people in all week.

i'm not a drug dealer / arsehole though so don't worry
