Wristband check inside?

[dyltr0n3030]

So my friends uncle knows the head of security running coachella. That's our way of getting in. But we do my know if we just walk in with him everyday or if he will give us a Wristband. If we don't get the bands, will security/cops hassle us for them?

[shmamber]

I would think yes

Reported.

lul

[boyalien0]

Kill yourself.

[baily]

no fucking way...

1st off - how could you be so stupid as to actually report your uncle if he was the head of security and say that he's going to let you in for free.
-duh he could be fired for breach of contract with the festival.....bad move

2nd- this is an obvious attempt to see if you hop the fence ....you really want to know if there are checks of writstbands inside....

if you may make it past the first gates and they catch you and they don't just kick people out ...you go to jail (no matter your age).
-We see kids every year taken away in handcuffs then into squad cars being driven off.

-gotta ask yourself...is it worth it? ....this picture is from Coachella Fest last year...

Baily, if I am not mistaken those poor kids are never heard from again......

Best thread ever. Such an awesome idea to post on the festival's forum that your uncle is going to breach his contract and let you in. I mean can you really be that stupid? You better hope he gets wristbands.

[dyltr0n3030]

Were getting Wristbands settle down haha
I just wanted to know if they check.

True...and their mug shots are shown in the Desert Sun Newspaper...and they are given a cell with the most lonely desperate inmate.

Yes...they'll check.

You'll have a hard time even getting to your uncle at the festival as they aren't allowing anyone withing 1/4 mile of the grounds without already having a wristband...so he'll have to leave his post and meet you OR he'll have to give you the wristbands in advance.

Without the ACTUAL wristband you are going to have a long time trying to get in...and if he just lets you in and you don't have a wristband...see above as they will arrest your ass...

...think about it...they run a festival that they spend a lot of money to get it going...they charge for admission....they work very hard and they have to pay for insurance for everyone....they aren't going to laugh if they see someone walking around without a wristband...they are going to grab the person and unkindly drag them over through security which will file charges with the Indio police who are on the grounds without proper wristbands...and your Uncle isn't going to be able to help you if you get caught without a wristband...as he'd be fired on the spot and charges brought upon him for letting you in...because he may be head of security, but he's not head of GV.


so make sure he hands you actual wristbands.....


and it's we're ....not were (see examples below)

we're going to the show

were you going to see the festival?

Good luck in your adventure!

So if someone has a quick nap/breather/pass out in the Sahara and has their legitmately purchased wristband cut off when not paying attention they have to worry about being sent to jail?

OK....you are now Security...you have been put in charge of walking around to find people who cheated their way in....you are walking around and you see someone passed out or NOT passed out....they have NO wristband....what are you going to do?

you also get a break of an additional 15 minutes for every person you catch, your bosses thank you, you are more likely to advance the ranks next year to be in charge of something more important and you'll make more money next year...what would you think they are going to do?



common sense.......it's not so common these days.

[frozen pilgrim]

yes they do

Fence jumpers take heed. You will be publically humiliated by being stipped naked and butt raped with a night stick while tased and unconscious.

[hollyb20]

you are a foolish man

There will be cops roaming the grounds checking under people's long sleeve shirt and asking girls to go through the wristband collections that might obscure the one they want to see?

Then there is the issue of people with cancelled bands jumping the fence and looking like they belong. This could happen with those that bought scalped bands that were bogus.

[Monko760]

Baily you are a retard. Not everyone that gets caught sneaking in goes to jail. I use myself as an example, got caught by security and they took my weed and pipe then gave it back and let me go outside the gates. Fucking tard. LOL they are not going to have security doing Wolf Pack patrols looking for people without a wristband.(Not that I know for sure or that it might happen a few times) but its not going to be a subject of focus.

oh yea and please be kind and correct my grammar!

Again...if YOU were security...what would you do?

remembering time off, boss happy, better job next year...etc.

Not sure how much a small promotion 12 months from now is a perk. For a couple hundred bucks they can be an audience member. Many are oblivious to the music playing.

My idea would be to watch the free/paid water lines closely or possibly the bathroom/beer lines. Quick flash of the festival wristband or you can't use.
