For the Walmart Black Friday events the retailer will hand out wristbands so shoppers know if they are one of the group that is able to buy hot items like the iPad Air, Beats Pill and Nabi 2 tablet. These are the items Walmart explicitly says will use a wristband system, but there are likely others. Once you get a wristband, you can go wait in line for another item and come back later to pick up the deal.

Here’s how Walmart Black Friday wristbands work, from Walmart,

“Here’s how it works: Prior to the 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. events, customers need to go to the designated line within the store to secure a wristband for certain products. Wristbands will be distributed while supplies last. Customers can shop for other gifts throughout the store while they wait for the 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. events to start. Then customers with a wristband simply need to come back to the designated line within two hours after the event start time to pick up their product.”

Make sure you get back to the location to pick up the item before the two hours are up.
