Abstract:
A system and method for locating group members. In various aspects, a set of wearable articles are grouped together.

Based on the RFID position data, the system and method detect that a first wearable article within the set of wearable articles is no longer within a permitted location of the venue. The system and method transmit an alert to a mobile device associated with a second wearable article within the set of wearable articles.
