Abstract: A fabric band closure includes a hollow body having a generally cylindrical sidewall extending between generally axially aligned first and second open ends. A fabric band inlet is formed at the first end of the body and a fabric band outlet is defined by the second end of the body. A fabric catch comprised of ribs spaced around the inner surface of the sidewall is disposed within the body intermediate the fabric inlet and the fabric outlet. The catch is configured to permit insertion of a fabric band through the catch but inhibit removal of the fabric band from the catch.

Abstract: A pre-event admission and purchasing system is disclosed in which a patron, patient or the like enters the required personal information, financial transaction information, and makes advance purchases before admission to a venue, healthcare facility or the like. An RFID wristband having this information stored thereon or linked to a database via a human readable or machine readable code tracks such admissions, purchases, access and the like during the stay. The database or master index for the patrons, patients or other individuals captures pertinent data and links that data needed by the various applications or systems involved in the event.
