Suncorp, Metricon stadiums get NCR loaded ticket offerings

31.10.2012

Suncorp Stadium will work with the Brisbane Broncos NRL side, the Queensland Reds rugby union team and Brisbane Roar soccer club to offer loaded tickets to their respective members by 2013.

According to NCR Australia's general manager of hospitality, Nick Wagnitz, the loaded tickets are integrated into the venue's existing NCR Venue Manager, which gives the stadium real-time sales information from every one of the 280 NCR point-of-sale (POS) terminals in its 24 food and beverage outlets and 32 public bars.

"NCR Venue Manager enables the stadium to accurately report, analyse and forecast sales, which helps reduce wastage and keep costs down," he said.

Over at Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast, the loaded ticket system, referred to as `PrePlay' by stadium staff, will allow fans to purchase food and drink throughout the 27,500 capacity arena.
