most festivals are pretty easy. 1) Find someone who's posted a photo of the wristband on social media. Try and get a staff or front of house wristband, as they need to go off site occasionally you'll have better chance of success.
2) Cobble together something that's pretty similar with needle and thread, or the help of a friendly embroiderer, get a clip from an old or preferably unused wristband (obtainable from ebay)to complete the get-up.
3) Head through at the busiest time for entry, generally they'll only be giving a cursory check of the wristbands and your homemade effort will hopefully go unnoticed.
Wear work gear too, high vis, good walking shoes, cargo shorts. A few older FOH wristbands for other festival sites from ebay will help too.

Saturday probably putting up a shelf for our turntable and some vinyl, and trying not to demolish the entire flat and end up in a bitter divorce involving the steady development of an alcohol problem, unpayable legal costs and a quick and steady decline into drug abuse, male prostitution and eventual suicide in the process.
