Using loaded value on Blues tickets allows you to store monetary value on the ticket that can be used for purchases at the venue. This provides a convenient, cashless way to pay for food, drinks, merchandise, etc. without needing to carry cash or cards. Here are some key things to know about using loaded value on Blues tickets:
Checking Your Loaded Value Balance
When you first receive your Blues ticket, it will not have any loaded value on it. You can add value before arriving at the venue by visiting the Blues website or mobile app. There will be options to load set amounts like $10, $20, $50 onto the card associated with your ticket barcode. This loaded value will be linked to your ticket barcode.
To check your loaded value balance at any time, visit one of the reload kiosks located around the venue. Scan your ticket barcode under the balance inquiry option and it will display your current loaded value amount. You can also ask any concession or merchandise vendor to scan your ticket to provide your balance.
Adding Loaded Value
If you want to add additional loaded value to your Blues ticket, you have a few options:
- Online – Log into your Blues ticket account online ahead of time to add value
- Blues mobile app – Open the app and find the loaded value section to add value
- In-person at reload kiosks – Scan your ticket and select add value, then insert payment
- From concession or merchandise vendors – Ask them to add a specific loaded value amount to your ticket
The minimum amount you can add is $10, and the maximum per transaction varies but is typically around $500. Note any loaded value you don’t use will remain on your ticket to be used at a future game.
Making Purchases
When you want to buy food, drinks, merchandise, etc. at concession stands or other vendors, simply provide your Blues ticket for them to scan. Let them know you want to pay with your loaded value instead of cash or card. They will scan your barcode which will deduct the purchase amount from your loaded value balance. An updated balance receipt will print showing your new total.
If your purchase exceeds your current loaded value amount, you will need to reload your card or pay the difference with another payment method. Vendors also typically accept regular credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, etc. in addition to loaded value.
Tipping
You can use your loaded value to add tips for concession vendors, bartenders, servers, and any other staff. Just let them know you want to add a tip to your loaded value payment. They can run your card for the tip amount separately from your purchase amount. This is more convenient than carrying cash just for tips.
Expiration of Loaded Value
The loaded value attached to your Blues ticket does not expire. Any remaining balance will stay on your ticket to use at future games indefinitely. So don’t feel like you need to spend all of your loaded value in one game. The value carries over season to season.
If you need to request a refund of unused loaded value for any reason, you can contact the Blues ticket office. Refunds are typically issued to the original form of payment.
Using Loaded Value for Multiple People
If you are purchasing food, drinks, merchandise, etc. for a group of people, you can use your loaded value ticket to pay for all of the items in one transaction. Just let the vendor know you are paying for the entire order with your loaded value. This allows your whole party to benefit from the convenience of not needing cash or cards!
Autoreload Settings
For frequent Blues attendees, you can set up an autoreload threshold to make reloading fast and easy. Through your Blues ticket account online or the mobile app, you can enter an amount like $20. Then when your loaded value balance drops below that threshold at a game, it will automatically add another $20 (or whatever amount you set) to your balance.
Having an autoreload threshold means you never have to worry about your loaded value running out or manually reloading between purchases. The convenience of loaded value gets even better with autoreload!
Discounts and Promotions
One great benefit of using loaded value is that you can take advantage of discounts and promotions for concession items. The Blues will send special loaded value offers to your account for things like:
- 20% off beer and nachos
- $5 sandwiches
- BOGO hot dogs
- Free souvenir cup with $10 soda purchase
Keep an eye out for these discounts and take advantage of the savings by using your loaded value! It’s a perk that cash/card payers don’t get.
Using Loaded Value at Other Events
Your Blues loaded value can be used at other events held at Enterprise Center. This includes things like concerts, family shows, other sporting events, etc. Any time you attend an event at Enterprise Center, you can tap into your loaded value to make purchases inside conveniently. It works as a centralized account for all events at the venue.
Gifting Loaded Value
Loaded value makes a great gift for the Blues fan in your life. Through the Blues website and app, you can purchase a virtual loaded value gift card in any denomination to send to someone else. They will receive the gift card information to add to their own Blues account. Then they can use it at Enterprise Center for tickets, concessions, merchandise, and more.
Safety and Security
Using loaded value on your Blues tickets is safe and secure. The barcode contains no personal financial data that could be compromised. If you misplace your ticket, you can quickly freeze your loaded value account to prevent fraudulent use. You can also request a refund of any remaining loaded value if your ticket is totally lost or stolen.
Conclusion
Loaded value provides Blues fans with a host of conveniences and benefits for a better experience at Enterprise Center. By preloading your ticket with funds to use anywhere at the venue, you can leave your cash and cards behind and focus on enjoying the action. Added perks like discounts, autoreload, and gifting make loaded value an essential part of being a Blues fan.
