How can I purchase tokens?
You can purchase your tokens on the day with both cash and card.
Why is it tokens only?
After using tokens at a number of our events last year, we found that using tokens for food
and drink significantly speeds up service, which results in more time for you all to enjoy the event
and less time queueing for food and drinks.
When purchasing food/drink with cash, staff will take money, get your items, go to the till and
count your change out and then return with your items and change, which take on
average 2/3 minutes. With tokens, this is dramatically sped up, with tokens being taken and items
being passed to the customer, which takes around 20/30 seconds.
Our token system also minimises the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
