Wristbands Still Available; Only $165
From Austin360.com (Austin American-Stateman):
SXSW Wristbands on sale 7:30 p.m. tonight at Antone’s, Austin Music Hall, BD Riley, Continental Club, Emo’s Jr, Molotov, Rio, Thirsty Nickel, Volume, Mohawk and Waterloo Records. $165 CASH ONLY. Wristband will be placed on wrist at time of sale.
On a related note, Austin American-Stateman sent out an intern to see if the Music Festival could be enjoyed on $50 a night, no badge, no wristband. The results? He was not allowed into Stubb’s to see REM (badges and wristbands only) and unable to get into another hot showcase, but enjoyed the music of lesser-known artists.
