The document discusses next generation festival wristbands that can be used for access control, cashless payments, crowd management, and marketing. It describes various types of wristbands like barcoded, RFID, and holographic bands that store varying amounts of data. The wristbands provide benefits like preventing counterfeiting, eliminating lines, and allowing for one-to-one marketing. The document also outlines options for fulfilling wristband orders, both by sequencing and randomly assigning bands, and considerations around encoding and scanning technology.
