New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium


They won’t have any choice but to pay unless the machines malfunction.
It’s completely frictionless

That video is 8 years old btw so the tech will be substantially mature now too.

I used to work at Amazon in one of their HQs between 2015-2022 when this technology was created and they had staff go into their first contactless store and try to rob them - to see if there were any flaws to their system.
 
WE were told that the test events would show up any areas that needed to be improved before the first PL game. Test event one, some scally made off without paying for his food and drink. Club install self service in the ground at food counter and expect everyone will pay.
in places like train stations and airports, these small ones actually work well, but some have dedicated security. Looking at that one, I would be concerned that people will just go under or over the barriers and take stuff without paying, unless there is a security guard stood there.
 

How do we replicate the Goodison atmosphere that helped maintain our status as a Premier League club?

If anything, the atmosphere should be better. The crowd is bigger, for one. And the acoustics are better than those of Goodison.
We don't. The sides are never ever going to be as ferocious as the Paddock and the family enclosure was just as bad/good on its day. The South Stands disabled sections are too big and take up a large part of the front seats so it'll never be as intimidating as the Gwladys. They should have been on the sides but that would take away from the hospitality areas. The ground will have good days but I can never see a time when opposition managers/players are dreading going there because of the atmosphere

I reckon the ‘barriers’ will be the actual stadium entrance turnstiles. So the payments will be linked to the e-tickets / Everton accounts.

Also I suspect these grab and go things will only be in the corperate sections. Not devoid of scallys but significantly less likely to have people trying to fiddle than general access.

There will be CCTV everywhere, if you fancy a stadium ban for lifting a cheese cob, go for it I say
 

South stand apparently
Can imagine the pre ordering facilities in the GA sections but as others have said it’s asking for trouble if the grab and go is in there 🫣

This (old) story from a trade mag says there’s various technological sales aids throughout.

Bally’d up Northface ninjas will have a field day with grab and go!
