CenturyLink Field, the home of the Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Sounders and now the XFL’s Seattle Dragons, announced it will no longer accept cash for sales transactions at the stadium, the Event Center, as well as the WAMU theater.
Concessions, retail purchases and parking payments will only be accepted on credit, debit or prepaid cards in an effort to speed up transaction times and improve efficiency throughout the stadium.
“We are continually looking at new technology and innovative ways we can improve our customer experience, and moving to a cashless operations model will reduce the length of time our guests spend standing in line,” said David Young, general manager of the stadium. “Depending on the event, credit or debit cards are already being used for approximately 75% of all concessions transactions and 90% for retail purchases, so we are confident this will be a seamless transition for our guests and as a result they will experience a positive improvement in wait times.”
For fans who don’t have debit or credit cards, there are 10 cash-to-card kiosks in the stadium. They convert any amount of cash to a prepaid card that can be used anywhere in the stadium. The kiosks are free to use.
