Sixways gets ready to go cashless

Warriors supporters are reminded that Sixways will become a cashless stadium from Saturday’s European Challenge Cup match against Dragons.

The move is aimed at improving the matchday experience for all supporters and visitors to Sixways.

All bars, food and drink outlets, and hospitality areas will only accept credit or debit cards or payments by mobile phone.

Programme sellers will accept card, mobile phone payments and cash payments on Saturday and for the Gallagher Premiership match against London Irish on December 28.

The Warriors Community Foundation Lottery will continue to take cash as will the Candy Shack within the Kidszone in the new EBC Fanzone and vending machines around the stadium.

“We live in a society that is becoming increasingly cashless in which customers are used to purchasing goods using a card or their mobile phone,” said Warriors’ Managing Director Peter Kelly.

“We hope that there will be significant benefits for supporters and visitors to Sixways when the stadium becomes cashless.

“It will reduce queuing at bars and food outlets so that supporters do not miss any of the action on the pitch or entertainment in the new EBC Fanzone.

“It will also speed up service and improve the matchday experience for supporters.

“We have already installed a new high speed wi-fi system which will allow every spectator to go online and which will support the cashless system.

“We hope that the transition to a cashless stadium will be seamless and that supporters and visitors to Sixways will appreciate a simplified payment system.”
