My friend paid for premier camping but I’m coming up later and purchased a regular camp pass. Can I leave the area and go meet them in their car in line so I can get my wrist band?

Yes.. They will have to take their pass to the gate and get your wrist band when you get there.

When we were there, all people in the party had to be there personally, and staff placed the wristband on our arms.

They can grab it for you on the way in They will be asked how many people in the group Then you can meet up in Ga for your wrist band
