How to loosen a festival wristband

Cloth festival wristbands are gaining popularity. Here is a way to remove them.

Thanks, I managed to tighten mine accidentally, this helped me. Mine did have a protection, the plastic barrel thing had a plastic insert, so twisting it needed additional pressure or it would just spin in place.

Saved my hand from amputation with this one. Thank you my absolute king.

Thank you for your service. I haven't been to a music festival since the original Lollapalooza when all you had was a ticket stub. I just opened my packet for Mothership 2024 and the bracelet fell out. I didn't realize it wasn't adjustable and didn't see the reminder not to try on the band until it was too late. Festival mates sent me here.

Thank you bro. It's five in the morning over here and I was losing my shit after realizing I was gonna be stuck in this thing for three more days. Totally worked!

FYI for anyone who's alone trying to get theirs off: I used pliers to twist the thread, then jammed the pliers in a drawer so it couldn't move. After that I twisted the plastic piece down the thread until it became loose enough that I could take the wristband off

I'm at a Con and the band got too tight in the shower on my last day. I put the tightly twisted ends in my mouth and the brad backed right off. This fix worked better than a charm!!

Worked! I twisted and held it with my teeth, then pulled it just enough to easily take it off.

You rock, took me 20 seconds alone. You can hold it with your teeth if you're alone when you're twisting it. I know you couldn't do that because of the camera, just sharing what helped me
