Surely you just have 2 separate ques on the night, one for pre paid tickets and one for payment on the gate? I don't think the WiFi signal is great at The Coliseum either for these systems to work efficiently. The people on the gate (I drive in and park at stadium so pay in car) struggled early season to scan multiple tickets I had purchased on my phone so I always try to have the right amount of cash ready for those travelling in my car that day. It does tend to be much quicker this way and less stressful for the gate staff which is appreciated by them too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it needs is online bookings being able to be added to Apple, Google and any other wallet available, so not reliant on data or WiFi signal. Though the scanner probably needs a data or WiFi signal. Also the fast moving cash only entrance gets held up by those fannying about for money and awaiting change. Think you answered your own question there, all reliant on technology and a fully charged phone, in my world a £20 note trumps all of that, especially when internet signal is poor. My wallet is a battered old leather one and always easy to find, don't need to go scrolling through my pockets to find it . If I go into any establishment or car park and it is digital or card payment only, I vote with my feet. None of these systems were brought in to aid the public, they were foisted onto us by the banks and technology platforms ( Apple, Google, Paypal, Klarna) to skim profits off every transaction Edited July 8 by piston197 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s be honest the queues at turnstiles at a league speedway match are hardly an issue whatever way of payment.🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently some of the " booking agents " take up to 10% of the cost, no wonder some places think twice about using them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it meant getting rid of most of the fans (you're an exception) off here then I am sure it would be well worth it. Steve Lyric is an absolute wanchor and along with the other dodgy geezer who these days acts like Bournemouths biggest fan with zero knowledge of football, is the reason most fans despise Poole. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it is the reason but closing down another track is not the answer. Even if i didnt support Poole I would not want it closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing snidey about the comment (unless you feel guilty and its a bit too close to home of course). Most clubs make cash payments to helpers/volunteers on the night. Ask Tom Jones....It's Not Unusual 😇 I note Oxford have re-introduced cash payments too. Edited July 8 by SteveLyric2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
