As if modern-day festivals weren't Them and Us enough, VIPs at the Wireless Festival step another stage further away from 'the experience, maaaaaan' with the use of RFID tags to let them into the toilets.
To ensure no commoners commandeer their toilet paper, VIPs will be issued with a wristband which will have an RFID chip, which when swiped, will magically open the door to wonderland the bogs. These VIPee (their name, not me) will be accessible to Important People, as well as up to 200 Slightly Less Important O2 customers.

does anyone know where we can actually get these rfid potties? (or is this a joke?)
Nope, they're definitely real. I haven't seen them anywhere except the O2 festival though.
