I went to their website to try to find pricing but they require contact info. Anyone have any idea on how much these thing cost when you're purchasing in bulk?

- dkersten 14y agoThey used to have pricing information, unfortunately I don't remember what it was now. I do remember that at the time, their minimum order was around 1000 wristbands.
- joezydeco 14y agoChris Martin is quoted here[1] as saying the bands are costing GBP 400,000 (USD $640,000) a night. $20 a band! Looking at the teardown[2] there's a radio receiver chip, microprocessor, couple of discretes/inductors/popcorn, then the plastic case and band with hi-bright LEDs and a battery. I'm thinking most of the cost is in the LEDs and battery need to drive those LEDs for two hours.
