RFID?

Wasn't aware wireless used it. Is that actually for the wristbands that admit you.into the arena

Ah seems Wireless was a couple of years ago when Barclays sponsored it. (Not sure if they still do, but doesn't seem to be) but BST uses the system now. Since they are day events without wristbands, its a Barclays pay band they use, which you can top up with money for bars/merch etc.

Amazes me how they can continue basically as the same people behind it with the same name next while still owing other businesses money!

Hopefully that stops a few other festivals from going cashless as the Traders won't want to risk not getting their money back!

Just had some spam from a Chinese company offering cloned RFID cards and wristbands - clearly now there's a commercial market in faking them.
