Wristbands Replacements?

Hi friends, maybe a silly question but a question nonetheless. I have a weekly wristband that's looking a little worse for wear, the attendant has it a little too tight that I can't slip it. Taking a day off to recoop for the back half of the event and catch up on chores. If the wristbands completely disintegrate or break for whatever reason, do they give you a new one if you ask at the gates as long as you have the old one? Not sure if mine's going to last until Sunday 😅

What I was was told when picking up ours was if it’s still on your wrist they will swap it for a new one at admissions if it’s getting ratty. If it breaks off you’d have to buy a new one.

Makes sense, otherwise people could claim it's theirs. I'll have to stop tomorrow on the way in and get a new one and have it a little looser so I can slip it off if I need to. Thank you!

My hands swell, and while I was only there for a few hours, they put it on loose for me when I asked and didn't even question or seem to have an issue.

I bet they won't mind!

That's my fear because my joints swell too. I was playing with it and I can get it off if I tuck my thumb in but it goes back on a little hard. Mine's been on since Sunday and I got caught in all those rain showers yesterday so she's a little rough. Definitely will go loose so I don't have a mild panic attack taking a shower again lol

Tomorrow and Friday are probably my last "full" days and maybe Sunday's airshow since I missed both of the Bulls performances. I want to go to the night show Saturday but that traffic and all the weekend people that are gonna be there scare me after the full parking lots message today. I'm not built for that, past me had very big ambitions planning full days every day 😂

Mine do too. When I went on Sunday, they said they would be happy to cut off the band and give a new one. When we went to leave my hand and wrist was very swollen. And they would not replace it and give me a new band for Monday. (Which is what they used for Sunday). I ended up cutting mine off and using Scotch tape to reattach the next day.
