I wanted to check with you guys before we pull the trigger on these. Following are some pictures the guy sent of the VIP wristbands he had for sale. There's one wristband for each day, which I haven't heard of, so I was hoping someone could verify that my friend would be able to camp and to enter the festival each day with these. Are they VIP box wristbands? I don't know what they are, but they're definitely legit wristbands of some sort.

Weird... I would say they are box seats for sure. As long as they have a wristband on, no one is going to say shit in the camping area. Just odd that they'll be wearing four by the end of the weekend.

They look like other VIP wristbands I've seen, but those ones said 4 day on them. I'm almost positive that the brown square where you can see the C and H says Cliff House.

Good call Davers. So the real question is, what is the best way to tell my friend that he's definitely swapping wristbands with my girlfriend and I for a day? I want to get all up in that cliff house, I've never been in there and would love to see the view.

HOLY SHIT GOD DAMMIT.
Livenation had tickets again for only a little bit. I was reading that Vampire Weekend AMA after having no luck in the first 5 minutes, and came back to see "A little bit left" on the page.
Once I actually went to grab them, it said they had none. FFFFF

I have seen other VIP wristbands for the event and that is what they look like. You are good to go!

JiveNation appears to have released more VIP Supertickets, if anyone has an extra $1000 laying around.
Also, if anyone does have an extra $1000, I could use more beer. Thanks.

Holy shit looking for a pass is terrible this year. After refreshing Craigslist over and over all week, I finally found someone selling a face value ticket, and they told me someone else offered them $600 for it. Ridiculous.

Wow. Wonk is right. This is the year that breaks the rules.
However, there will still be people bailing late. But there might be just as many people trying to buy on Friday.

It seems like the buyers panicked before the sellers his year. Just when I expected the prices to drop, they jumped higher than they've been in a month. All I know is I am definitely getting pre-sale next year, lineup announcement be damned.

So say someone got one of these last minute wristbands on livenation. would they send it overnight delivery to you? you would need it by wednesday and most shippers operate weekdays only.

They send it 2nd day UPS. I scored my girlfriend's ticket during the short window when they had them last Thursday and it arrived on Wednesday this week. That said, anyone lucky enough to get one from here out will probably have to be pick it up at will call.

Judging by that If I said my wristband was at will call will the let me into the campground without it?

That's a good goddamn question.

I bet they'll be super lenient about the "everybody needs a wristband to enter the campsite" rule. There are many valid situations where people would need to go to the box office to get their wristband.

I have been wondering the same thing. I have a friend who is seriously considering just going and trying his luck at picking up a pass there. The only way I could see that they would be able to call your bluff is if they've put in a will call booth at the entrance to he campground, which seems highly unlikely.
