What the hell is a card system?

From the BW website:
"This Saturday, everything at Beyond Wonderland will be purchased with THE INSOMNIAC CARD! You can use the card to buy merch, food & drinks anywhere within Beyond Wonderland. You can also use it at the Beyond Wonderland general store. The cards are easy and convenient and allow one to avoid waiting in the long lines caused by making change and paying in cash. You can add any amount of money to the card you want. This means you only need to pull out your cash once at the beginning of the festival and never have to wait in long ATM lines! After the event you receive a full refund for any un-spent money on the card… it’s super easy!

Look for the Insomniac Card booths inside Beyond Wonderland. Insomniac Cards will also be available prior to the gates opening so you can fill up your card before you even enter the event!

At Beyond Wonderland we're going cashless with THE INSOMNIAC CARD! We think it will help create a more pleasant experience everyone. We hope you enjoy it!"

They use a similar system at Trance Energy in Holland (30000-40000 people) every year and it works fine. Instead of a card you get tokens and you buy your drinks and food with them but you don't get a refund if you have leftover tokens at the end of the night. I've got a bunch of them laying around my house but I don't care because TE is always worth every penny! They always have several token booths at the venue and the drinks are pre-poured so not really any lines anywhere.

so now you can't tip the bar staff? or did they tip themselves
no wonder people were talking about their cards running out.

Forgot to add one thing to my "GOOD" list: I loved the "non-conventional" dance group that was on stage during Sander's set. They had both guys and girls wearing golden skin tight outfits and they reminded me of Daft Punk's Around the World video, although their moves were quite a bit dirtier When they first came on stage we were like WTF?? but they were so entertaining we were mesmerized, partially because one of the guys basically had a bare butt and he kept shaking it quite fiercely, which we could see really well from the side of the stage I think this group was a hundred times better than the regular boring gogo dancers who usually are the worst dancers at these kinds of events.
