Help understanding this cashless system (1 Viewer)

[captainralph2003]

Hi all,
I live no where near coventry and so have not been to a game for a few years. However today i am bringing my special needs son to his very first football game. (he became a JSB as a christmas present). He is really excited as am i. But i dont understand this cashless system. I was wondering if anybody could explain it to me.
As i said we will be going to this afternoons game and we have seats in the JSB area. but can i still buy a pie or sweets or a tea with cash or is the whole ground cashless. If it is cashless how do i get hold of the food.
much appreciate your thoughts and comments
Ralph

If you do not have a season ticket you have to buy a plastic card to top up (their cheap I think...) the people who sell these cards wear green and are around the kiosks area... once you have purchased a plastic top up card you simply place it on the machine(the people in green have the machine) give them your money then they top it up... then when you get to the food/drinks counter place the card on the machine their and place ur order... (sorry if I explained this poorly I don't buy things at the game) if you have a season ticket card this can also be used to put money on for the cashless system machines.

enjoy the game.

There are actually kiosks where you can use cash now

Yes - I refused to get one of these cards - a stupid idea - but was pleased to see that cash kiosks were back when I went to the Cardiff game.
