There is a major change coming to transactions at Kentucky Basketball games and other downtown Lexington events: Rupp Arena is going cashless.
The Central Bank Center announced today that all of its venues, including Rupp Arena and Lexington Opera House, will stop accepting cash as a form of payment for concessions and parking at the conclusion of this current Kentucky Basketball season. The change will go into effect on March 4, 2022, two days after the Wildcats’ home finale.
Fans of Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias will be the test subjects.
In place of cash transactions, Central Bank Center venues will accept major credit cards and mobile options; and will offer prepaid parking for almost all of its ticketed events.
