YES! Send your friend your ticket confirmation. They will then be able to pick up your wristband.
YES! If you ordered for a group, you or anyone in your group can check everyone in at once and pick up the wristbands.
NO! If you cannot make it to Check-in before it closes, please have one of your friends pick up your wristband early by forwarding your ticket.
