Anyone reuse a festival wristband?

So I'm headed to Electric Zoo over Labor Day; it's going to be epic. However, this year they are using wristbands with RFID chips in them that are supposed to be worn for all 3 days. I've got a friend who wants to go, but not for all 3 days. Anyone ever transfer a wristband to a different person? I was thinking of using some kind of temporary glue but the bands are plastic coated pretty well. Also, leaving them loose and slipping them off is out as "loose wristbands will be confiscated". Double sided tape maybe?

If it is a wristband with the secure locking button you can shove a knife into the button and wiggle it around to release it and just attach it to their wrist provided their wrist isnt that much smaller than yours.

Wonder how hard it would be to just copy the RFID chip?

I'm sure it would be easy to copy the chip but the bands have unique images on them so I couldn't just put a chip in a Tyvek band. Also, they use the little adhesive strips found in cheap Tyvek wristbands. Thinking double sided tape is gonna have to do it.

how are you gonna remove the wristband to transfer to your friend? Arent those the kind that have those zig-zag perforations in them? I'm holding one right now (not electric zoo) and the thing is tough as hell

EDIT: nvm, im not sure how the ones youre describing look like

I have one extra three day pass and i'm contemplating selling it because there is no way i see the value in going all three days for myself. I want to sell off one or two of the days. Is the Rfid chip or w.e that serious on these tickets? Whats exactly is it

I'm attending Ezoo this year and plan on doing the same thing as Smellfish with the double sided tape. Anyone try this and know if it works? I've read somewhere that the wristband is void if removed but I figured with double sided tape I can remove it safely without causing any damage.
