Cashless Payment DECC MOVES TO CASHLESS IN AMSOIL ARENA Starting Friday, October 6 2023, AMSOIL Arena, part of the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center (DECC), will be moving exclusively to digital payments for all entertainment and the upcoming UMD hockey season (Women’s & Men’s games). The DECC is following the industry’s lead to only accept credit, debit, and contactless payment. This change is exclusive to AMSOIL Arena and will not affect other venues or events at the DECC not taking place in AMSOIL Arena. The parking lot will still be able to take cash. WHY GO CASHLESS? The benefits of cashless payments include faster lines and cost savings for the facility. Cost savings come from fewer staff hours spent counting physical money and the ability to expand the use of the DECC’s Volunteer Fundraiser Program in these difficult-to-fill frontline positions. Local organizations provide these volunteers who perform work tasks, such as concession work, in exchange for a donation made directly to the organization. WHAT IF I ARRIVE WITH ONLY CASH? Guests will be able to convert cash to a DECC concession card at the AMSOIL Box Office located on the skywalk level of AMSOIL Arena. Concession cards do not expire and can be used to pay for food, drinks, and alcohol. Merchandise vendors like the UMD Bulldog Shop and Merch Tables at entertainment events are responsible for their own payment process and may still take cash if they wish. APPLE PAY & CONTACTLESS PAYMENT Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay and Contactless cards (tap to pay) will be accepted. AMSOIL BOX OFFICE The AMSOIL Box Office can be accessed via the parking ramp skywalk or Door E on the ground level. Guests will be able to access the AMSOIL Box Office two hours before game time and two hours before entertainment show start time. Do you have a question that you don’t see answered above?
