Think they started in 02 with the superfence, certainly didn't have them in 97, they just stamped your hand with invisible UV ink. (this is not a joke! that was how slack the security was in those days).

I still have a wristband from 1992. It's a nasty plastic one though not these nice cotton ones. I have a photo of it but can't figure out how to post it! If you can help you can see it!

here it is!

If i had to cut everything off that was dirty and germ ridden when i walked through the door i would have had to cut off all my limbs aswell as the wristband!!

I used to get them to bladder my arms (both) with the UV stamp as the bloody thing never worked. We slept in a transit van (they were allowed back then!) and every time you came through the gate the next morning, the ink had - unsurprisingly -worn off! 1998 was another glastonbury classic 'rainy' year and the amount of times i nearly got turned away as the stamp had dissapeared was untrue. On the Sunday, i think they just let me in to avoid the hassle as they couldnt find the stamp at all! Thank God they did away with that, it was such a relief when they brought the bands in!
