Oh no, don't get me wrong, I have a mobile phone and an e-mail address (I must have access to a computer and knowledge of how to get on the internet in order to comment on here). I just choose not to link them to my credit card transactions. I'm a bit cautious and old-fashioned like that, but it's served me well in recent years. 10 hours ago, bourneagain said: stand at the ticket desk, holding up the queue while they insist that they be given a receipt for their transaction. You make it sound like one is being extremely unreasonable, in wanting a receipt. I always expect a receipt and I do get increasingly grumpy these days when I actually have to ask for something that I feel is my right, especially in places like coffee houses. It's not my problem if the payment receiving systems or protocols of certain retail establishments aren't geared up to be sufficiently efficient, in order to satisfy those further down the queue, who might want to save a few seconds precious seconds, before they can hurry off to do whatever other business they have, that is clearly more important than my own. 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bigcheeseplant Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 This is the first year we have offered any kind of non cash payment on the day, we will still be issuing admittance tickets, if using cash or card. in 15 years of Railex at the stadium we have not had issues regarding payment methods. Anyway we are only a few weeks away and just putting the finishing touches to what should be a good show. David 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree, there's nothing to stop it being taken home and filed, I prefer the open topped receptical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Kingzance Posted May 18, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2019 Given the terrible events that occurred overnight at the Stamford show, will RailEx be able to offer a chance in some way to support those affected? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
