As the When We Were Young Fest in Las Vegas kicks off, fans are locked in on wristband etiquette—because once that wristband goes on, it’s a done deal.
A buzzing Reddit thread on r/WhenWeWereYoungFest is all about how you should not try on wristbands early. These bad boys are designed to be fastened tight and kept on for the entire festival run, with no slipping off allowed.
The festival’s official wristband policy confirms it: no removal, no tampering, no reusing. If you try to take it off or mess with it, entry will be denied. Tighten it comfortably but decisively—the fit must be right the first time.
Festival veterans have shared hacks to slide wristbands on more comfortably—like the “straw hack” and “plastic bag trick”—but these are for initial fitting only. The advice? Don’t risk any premature trying on that could ruin your comfort or access.
Bottom line: When you fasten that wristband, you’re committed for the full festival. Double-check the fit, be ready to keep it on, and get hyped for the shows! Source: r/WhenWeWereYoungFest
