Welcome to the Lockn' Forum - The home of the original Lockn' Music Festival family!
I love the cashless wristbands. Definitely the way to go IMO. I don't like to carry much on me when I'm at a festival (don't trust myself to not lose something). Very nice leaving the valuables in the car. Gives me peace of mind. The bartenders are very friendly--one gave me 9 beers just for waving at him! One thing I don't like about it is the forced tip. Yes I know you can opt out but it takes steps and provokes glares from the people behind you as well as the beer tenders--who I don't want to pay $1.60 each time I get a beer ($8.00 x 20%). Nor do I want to tip 20% at a sandwich counter. I'll carry a lot of ones, enter zero tip and use the cash. The bartenders are very friendly--one gave me 9 beers just for waving at him!

I'm told that ours arrived.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

All this on this thread reminds me of the frenzy surrounding Dead50 tickets. That was serious angst.
But seriously... I don't have my wristband yet. 
But I'm sure it will arrive soon.

Thanks for the heads up Worf. 20% on every purchase is a joke. I’ll stick to cash. I can only handle so much technology. One dollar per beveridge is my rule 😆 as for food trucks I’m conflicted. If they want good tips they should lower prices. As far as I can see the tip is included in the price . (

I resisted the temptation to try mine on last night; they don't come off. And to ride around today with the parking pass in the window.
The RFID chip is a little bigger, I think, and might need some adhesive tape on it

The larger RFID allows the chip microphones to fit.

not sure what all that means but I think most people start with the green but end up in the red when things get heated up.I resisted the temptation to try mine on last night; they don't come off. And to ride around today with the parking pass in the window.
