Wristband Exchange 

Usually at concerts, games or any other events, Wristband Exchange stalls are mostly always there at the entrance. It's where you can exchange one half of your concert/game ticket for a wristband which you can wear throughout the concert/game. It easier than taking out your ticket all the time when passing security.
A wristband includes the singer/band's name, the venue and the timing.

Wristbands usually come in the following colors:
Black: VIP Backstage

Gold : VIP
Silver: Front standing
Red/Yellow: Center standing (or back seating)

Wearing wristbands long after the concerts are often trends now for teenagers. A kid can show of his/her wristband to let others know that he/she went for this concert...blah blah blah
"Hey, have you guys seen Roxy and Jordan?"
"No, they're still at the wristband exchange."

"I didn't see you at the Metro Station concert, Katie."
Katie holds up her arm and shows off her wristband.
"I was there all right....I got backstage!"

"Lucky bitch!"

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
