Sort of but the simple answer is taxation. If everything goes through your bank the black economy is dead.Stopping money laundering.
I paid cash in a restaurant in Manchester last month, they did not know what to do with it, just took it into the back somewhere eventually and made no attempt to check or count so we just left.
Please see my post re taxation a cashless society makes it so much easier for a government to track you.I doubt it is knowledge to believe that the government has this grand plan to control everyone with debit or credit cards, to me that is misinformation or delusion. Why can’t they use id card or drivers license or you believe the government use those already ?
Even if city or whatever club that is going cashless track the customers card details (which I doubt personally) and reward the high spenders, is that not fair ? Using a card doesn’t mean it has your details by the way, some people use prepaid cards. So people who have conspiracy theories can always buy prepaid cards.
And going cashless definitely has its benefits, no need to look for change, city don’t get fake notes and the transaction is fast.

There's an option to pick up from the ticket office before every game which costs ... let me check ... fuck all. Yes, it's a mither I agree, but the reasons for going to this new system is that the old one could be hacked - even the designers of it say it shouldn't be used and there will be no support for it in the future - and people like getting stuff for free or next to nowt, just look at all the IPTV threads. Businesses, for some reason, don't like having their goods or services stolen, I just can't think why. The fact is, the clubs would not be doing this if others hadn't tried to find a way to make money illegally out of it.Their are loads of fans having to do this and buy a new phone

You could also opt to collect from the ticket office each game. A faff I agree, but not too bad if you're nearby/passing often as this can be done 7 days prior.Thanks totally different to the Everton ticket which had a barcode on it to it could be read at the turnstiles. This will only work with an FNC enabled phone. Ahh well more cost, new bloody phone it will have to be!

I’ve got a cupboard full of those daft tins and scarves. I don’t want to chuck them in the bin, but also I don’t really need another one in my life.
