Upgrading AP to new RFID

[ophkw]

Sorry I am sure this has been asked but I couldn't find the answer. Can I change my husbands AP to new RFID at the Odyssey while I am changing mine? Or does he need to be there?

He needs to be there. They ask and verify ID.

I tried (well asked) to do my husbands and they said no.

Thanks!

We had to show photo ID when we converted ours a couple of days ago.

Is converting an AP to RFID required?

No. The old ones still work just fine.

No. The old ones still work just fine.

I was told yesterday AP's are supposed to be converted in next few days, as there will be no way to read old AP's. I call BS on that and don't plan on converting.

Not likely since the conversion center in the odyssey restaurant is scheduled to be in operation through May 20

I know. I think the CM was well aware I knew she was BS'ing me.

They will eventually be sending AP holders RFID APs. I would guess, at that point, they would deactivate the paper passes.

Days? No. Months to a year? Yes. Eventually all tickets will need to be RFID, either as cards or MagicBands.

I know they are planning (from what I've most recently heard) to send MagicBands to AP holders - I don't know about the cards, but we don't know what happens after May 19th exactly.

It appears that if you get the MagicBand, you need to retain the original (RFID card or Tyvek "paper") to show for eligibility for discounts, but it would not work for admission.
