Thread: Cajun Field going cashless... NOT

  1. Default Re: Cajun Field cashless

    This may or may not be a stadium thing... yet.

    But if cashless were king, McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and all the others would have made the move by now.

    Why? Because it does cut down on stealing, but currently cashless chases more customers and more dollars than it saves.

Admission fees remain the same, except we will no longer accept cash or check payments. The following payments will be accepted:

    Credit or debit card
    Venmo
    PayPal
    Apple Pay
    Google Pay
    Admission for home tailgates is $15 per person. Loyalty Fund donors of $50 or more get in for free.
    $15 is a great deal and that is if you haven't donated at least %50 to the Alumni fund. But that $15 is the only item charged for entry.

    I know a lot of people have complaints about the alumni association, but tell me one other place in the tailgate area that is a better value? Oh, and easier too. You walk in, eat and drink, then walk out. No setup, no cleanup, no takedown.

    Incredible value.

    Maybe Jay can look into it?
    Read the bottom of the email.

    Cajun Field is a cashless venue - this is copied from the email.

    Already dropped 5 of my 7 tickets because I’m tired of not being able to give them away, this is one more way to get me to spend less money. This university will never get out of its own way.

    Cash is legal tender, it must be accepted. If I get a beer and take a sip and you don’t take my cash, that’s on you not me. This cash only bs is just that, bullsht

    They don’t want your cash because they know they can’t get away with charging you that 4% surcharge.

    True for government entities but not private business unless required by state law. Louisiana has no such law. However it is certainly a bad look for the University as over 10% of Louisiana residents don't have a bank account. Obviously this is tilted towards the lower income levels of our society. Doesn't take much of a leap to know where this heads for an institute of higher learning.

    Same here. Very rarely do I have cash and I may write 5 checks a year. Also can't remember the last time I was in a bank. I am sure most folks operate like this these days.

    Those 10% of folks aren't going to Cajun games.

    Cash free at stadiums is just the beginning of our road to a cashless society. You noticed all the places that had coin shortages over the last year or so? That is another first step in the master plan of doing away with cash completely. It will happen in baby steps and we won’t even notice it happening.

    Strip club special interest groups will never allow this to happen.
