- Matchday concourses at King Power Stadium will be cashless for the 2019/20 season
- Kiosks will accept credit and debit cards for Chip & PIN, as well as contactless payments under £30
- King Power Stadium was over 80 percent cashless last season
- It will be in operation for Saturday's visit of AFC Bournemouth (3pm BST kick-off)
Over 80 percent of kiosks in General Admission areas at King Power Stadium were cashless last season, as part of a phased approach to improving the speed of service for supporters attending fixtures.
The rollout, which has been a success at many of the country’s leading stadiums means that supporters will only be able to purchase food and beverages using a debit or credit card with Chip and PIN, as well as mobile phones and contactless payments for amounts under £30.
With King Power Stadium regularly sold out, cutting down concourse queuing times pre-match and at half-time has been a focus for the Club and its food and beverage providers. The introduction of cashless tills to the majority of kiosks last season served to considerable reduce average waiting times, as well as improving security – particularly during busy periods.
It is intended that with these further enhancements for 2019/20, improvements will continue to be reflected in levels of service and overall matchday experiences for our supporters.
We kindly ask all supporters who regularly purchase food and drink with cash to ensure they bring the correct method of payment with them on matchdays to avoid any difficulties in the transition to cashless kiosks.
The Filbert’s Treats kiosk in the Family Stand, the Foxes Fanstore, the Ticket Office and Hospitality areas will continue to accept cash.
