Wristbands

[Mel & Claire]

When do you take yours off? And do you wear the previous years to the next Glastonbury?

Me and my sister kept our 2008 wristbands on pretty much all year ( except for going to the gym, and karate and stuff obviously) and wore them to the 09 Fest, and planning to do the same with the 09 ones too.

I just like the way I can carry the spirit of Glasto with me all the time

Im still wearing my 09 band. It makes me smile whenever I look at it.

Planning on wearing it till it drops off!!

I had on my 03, 07 and 08 bands this year. I can just about get these ones over my wrist but unfortunately I had to cut off 04s. Took them off pretty soon after this years festival but I'll put them, plus 09, back on just before next years.

[Zacko]

Still got the 09 one on, it's on its last legs though. I like to keep it on so I can have a sense of self satisfaction when I see people with bands for lesser festivals on.

[krisskross]

took all my bands for this year off yesterday. feel a bit naked without them but they were starting to look a bit skanky.

I undid the metal clasp on mine for '09 so that I can put it back on when I want. Thought it would get too disgusting if I just left it on.

Still wearing all my wristbands from this year bar one that fell off. Just give em a good wash when you have a bath

[LoveGlasto]

Still got my '08 and '09 on only went for the sundays but hey it counts!

My '09 I can just about wiggle off but the '08 is to tight.. they both get good washes in the shower/bath though. I would feel so odd without them now, I'm forever twiddling the dangly bits absent mindedly

Took all this years ones off after the last festival (Loopallu) apart from my Glastonbury one.. it will stay on till next summer. It's too much to wear them all for the whole year.

I tend to replace festival bands when I go to another festival. so looks like my G09 is staying on until Rock Am Ring next year. mines to tight to slip on and off. but I am tempted to stick a screwdriver into the metal bit and wedge it apart so I can change over to my left wrist rather than keep it on my right.

[daley]

I always take my festival wristbands off as soon as i get home! I would get my ass kicked by my head chef if i walked in2 the kitchen with it on! haha!

[Niblet]

I used to keep them on all the time but I take them off straight away now, I put them in my Glastonbury shrine with all my other trinkets, I have programs going back to '95 and wrist bands going back to '98

[LondonTom]

Still got mine on from Hop farm and T this year, not sure when I will take them off but The T one is in good condition so that can stay for a while and my hop farm one's frabics getting a bit catchy.

Would probably keep my Glasto one on to if I end up getting ticket for next year

[harriet]

still got my 09 one on, had to cut the others off, wish I hadn't though still have them in a draw. I like to look at my 09 on gets me all excited for next year. I just give it a good wash in the shower every day

[Jaydog]

I have a '07 and '09 Download staff wristbands still on! but they have these stupid plastic clips which can get annoying, my mate has about 8 different wristbands on ranging from download '05 to glasto '09

[strudders]

Still have my Glasto and Reading ones one...

All my others this year have dropped off...

[maninkilt]

Mine came off once tickets for next year were secured - 9.02 a.m. on the 4th!!!

[sisterofmercy]

I wore my 2008 wristband for about 5 months or so, my one for this year I only wore for about a month before taking it off. I did wear my (now ex) boyfriend's wristband for about 3 months since Glasto too.

[maninkilt]

Ok, so when you have taken a wrist band off what is the best way to reatach them ?
