I heard that out in the sticks like Fort recovery, Marion Local, etc that you can pay to get Into games with eggs, a chicken, a hog gets you a family season passes etc. If it was good enough for those in Walnut Grove to pay that way then ita good enough for ohio hillbillies
It’s a Ball jar of moonshine in southern Ohio.
i have heard that some schools are going to be charging more for the cash tickets when they go to it this week.
there will be no cash sales for playoff games
Thus, some use the Sprectrum app free trial period.
No they absolutely do, there's just not as many banks in rural areas and the travel distance is further, which would make access more difficult.
But then cash in the concession stands.
I experienced that this weekend. $9 cash. $8.27 for credit card.
That's crazy
Schools and leagues can decide on ticket prices. Economic freedom is nice. Until its something you don't like... at least that's the American way these days.
They can take CC all they want…what I am not doing anymore is that hometown ticketing crap.
I have witnessed many times people not getting into the stadium on time because of issues with the digital system.
Go to the game. Few of them sellout. Approach a ticket taker. Offer them 7 bucks a head for your party. Might work. Esp. if the ticket taker realizes how many empty seats there are going to be anyway. (He's an honest guy, he donates all the "7's" to his school's general fund lol!)
Gas stations do that all the time. But the cash price is usually cheaper, probably because of the costs incurred by dealing with Visa and Mastercard.
It is not just gas stations that charge less if you pay in cash lots of businesses are doing that now that is why is it so odd that schools are charging more to pay in cash. High schools are the only entity I have ever heard of that charges people more to pay with cash so clearly it is not because it is a good "business decision" but because it makes someone's job easier if people don't pay in cash.
it won’t. our older generation will eventually phase out. younger communities seem to be embracing the cashless society.
This is my whole point. Forever, the narrative was that business wanted cash instead of credit card because of the service fee. Why are schools going against that theory now? Just so someone doesn't have to count the cash? Talk about freaking lazy!
Not to be overly political, but the government would love a cashless society. Makes it easier to track all of your transactions.
Ever think it’s easier for schools now to get people to work if all they need to do is scan tickets instead of handling cash now? Last I checked people aren’t lining up to help work school events as much anymore as in the past.
it takes more people and more time (more money) to do cash+card sales. you pay less people to work tickets at games, and have to allot less of time to do the book-keeping with cash. easier on the audit due to it being online.
Who pays people to work tickets? A lot of these folks are volunteers. Those who are getting paid aren't breaking the bank. No one sent their kids to college on the money they made ripping ticket stubs.
I don't know of any situation wherein a credit card company waives the processing fees. Not to say it doesn't exist, but it would definitely be a rare occurrence. What's their motivation for giving their product away for free?
Up to the point at which people stop buying tickets.
1. you’d be shocked- a lot of larger districts as well as suburban districts have an entire staff of ticket takers (who are paid hourly). usually teachers or other people who work in the district looking for some extra cash on the paycheck by working a few evenings.
Wouldn't be shocked by something that I'm aware of. However, you don't need fewer people manning the gates because you've decided to employ online ticketing.
People who attend because of a direct connection to a player are a small portion of the buying public. It wouldn't be a protest so much as a decision that it's not worth the trouble.
1. yes, you can employ much fewer people. cash transactions take much longer and those people are in addition to those who scan digital tickets. say you need 2 scanning and 2 doing cash. if you cut out the cash they all need scanned. however that isn’t an issue because scanning takes 5-10 seconds. i’ve never seen a line at an online ticket gate.
