CN Centre going cashless

You may have to choose a different way to pay for food and drink at the CN Centre.

In a Facebook post, the CN Centre announced the arena is going cashless.

All concession and bars, including in the Kin Centre, will only accept debit and credit cards for purchases.

It noted Prince George Cougars 50/50 kiosks, TicketsNorth and the Cougars Den Team store, as well as vending machines will still accept cash.

CN Centre Manager Glen Mikkelsen said this is common-practice in many arenas around North America.

“Part of it’s speed, honestly, it’s just the transaction between the customer and in this instance, the food service provider’s just much faster,” Mikkelsen explained.

“It just helps expedite and improve the customer’s experience.”

The first cashless events at the CN Centre will be the Cougars Home Opening Weekend.
