How do we know wristbands are real if we buy from someone

**Chloe612** · 03-22-2011, 11:03 AM

If we bought them off craigslist or somethin how do we know that the wristbands aren't counterfeit

Find someone with an RFID reader.

If you bought them off craigslist, then they are definitely counterfeit. That's how you'll know.

If they work at the door.

Seriously though, ask for all of their documentation when they complete the sale and give it to you. Get their receipt, email address, phone number, everything - showing that originally this was a legit sale of a wristband to them, and now they are giving it to you.

Remember: "Let the buyer beware"

^^^ Save the trouble and kidnap a loved one, holed them hostage until you get through the gates, works everytime.

I was wholeding a hostage last year. Didn't work.

It's you HAVE to buy scalped tickets do so from stubhub, at least they guarantee their tickets

Creating a user account for a website and asking other strangers off the internet is definitely a good start.

Sweet I'm still under the radar.

**baily** · 03-22-2011, 05:37 PM

Honestly there are a few ways

1- look on the board later when they start to arrive. You will see exactly what they look like so if u do a face to face deal.

2- stubhub deals are all backed up - no problems

3- eBay - check user feedback.

I am also wondering this,also do you need a ticket scanned with the wristband at the door or does just the wristband work

**Neighborhood Creep** · 03-25-2011, 09:29 AM

Put it on. Set it on fire. if it melts to your wrist, its real.

**psychic friend** · 03-25-2011, 09:30 AM

If you buy from a 3rd party, there is no way to tell its real until you try it at the scanners

Honestly, if at this point you're still asking questions like this, I think you should just stay home.

drinkerstein entertains an interesting perspective

well considering i have been going to coachella since 2006 im pretty sure i will make it out there,its alot different this year with the wristbands and not just tickets,my friend has a wrist band but he is in NYC if i had a picture that would help. I already know all about coachella and craigslist ticket frauds,on craigs i found this older lady said she got four from a promoter but she has no proof of purchase which makes it that much worse,i know thats a true story cause my friend got ones from a promoter but she could be lying.

Have them provide all the original packaging as well.

(from another post)

People are already starting to get their wristbands!
