CenturyLink Field to install cash-to-card kiosks as stadium goes all cashless

February 12, 2020

Visitors to Seattle's CenturyLink Field Event Center and WAMU Theater will be able to convert cash to prepaid cards at kiosks as the stadium converts to fully cashless operations, according to a press release.

All concessions, retail and on-site parking, will now only accept credit, debit and prepaid cards.  

Following several other stadiums and event centers that have seen success with a cashless model, a press release said that transitioning to card-only operations will allow for more efficient sales processes by removing cash handling duties and speeding up transaction times.  

For visitors who don't have debit or credit cards, or prefer to use cash, 10 cash-to-card ReadySTATION kiosks will be located throughout the stadium and event center. These self-service kiosks are free to use and will convert as little as $1 cash onto a prepaid card, which can be used anywhere inside or outside the stadium, including anywhere major cards are accepted.

"Depending on the event, credit or debit cards are already being used for approximately 75% of all concessions transactions and 90% for retail purchases, so we are confident this will be a seamless transition for our guests and as a result they will experience a positive improvement in wait times," David Young, Seahawks senior vice president of business operations and general manager, CenturyLink Field, said in the press release.
