Awesome fest hack! Not at all what I expected. I thought this would be how to remove a paper wristband without snapping it, ie by pulling the under flap until the glue gives way. This is a great video for scalpers and wristband resellers if someone can't go to all 3 days of a fest or concert! Thanks
I have the exact same problem, this doesn't work as the download festival band's locking mechanism has an outer casing which means that when you spin it only the outer twists, the part that digs into the band doesn't move...
Yea i figured that out so i took some pliers and squeezed the plastic so it made an oval which meant it wont turn on the inside anymore. After that this method worked perfectly!
Was trying just now huffing and puffing how it's not working and I could swear it was getting tighter only to then notice the black thingy was almost off the band and I am officially free now! Cheers mate!
