    I think they usually take credit card (depends on the venue) but do everyone behind you a favor and bring cash.

    please use cash, newark was cool most used cash, but i remember la people were dicks and everyone was using a cc, took like 30 mins to do 5 or 6 people. not trying to be a dick by saying that, but everyone saves time when cash is used it only common sense. what happening to this world when people dont wanna carry cash haha, scared of being robbed? common not at a pj show

    la was brutal bro, night 2 was alright, but night 1 i waited over 40 mins in line, and the line wasnt even that big the venue was small, but the cc system was messed up and they were taking forever to do cc, i think maybe the system cr ashed for 10mins or somethin not sure, but sure slowed things down. the worse is people that go to the grocery store, when i go to 1-15 item, someone buys a carton of milk and cookies and uses a debit card, common what that cost 5 bucks? :lol:

    In most cases, credit cards are faster and safer than cash. Debit cards, however, are definitely slower and arguably less safe than cash.

    how are credit cards safer than cash? someone can steal your cc number and rack up all short of charges, how is that safer than cash? i dont know what was up with la but it was brutal slow people probably using both debit and credit cards. no way cc is faster than cash/ wanna bet?

    If most venues were wired for it, I would agree. But it seems that most merch stands all use portable CC machines that were built in the late 1980s and have all kinds of problems. This is usually coupled with faulty wiring, ala a 25 year old phone cable with a broken connector that needs to be taped into the machine. And then it only works if there isn't a breeze and the planets are aligned correctly.
