msba show--Question

Does anyone know if the show will be "wired" this year? It wasn't last year, so you couldn't use debit or credit cards. Thanks

I don't believe it will. I think that they have ATMs there.

I believe we will be having a walk througth over the next week or so. The ticket sales process will be reviewed then. When we have details re credit cards/ debit cards we will post the info. I have not heard this discussed by Patrick yet.

All vendor paper work from MSBA says there will be no Phone lines or WiFi offered this year.
They will be polling vendors to see if it is needed for the 2007 expo.

You can get credit card processing set ups for relatively cheap money that utilize cell phone data streams to transmit credit card info and process transactions.

If the show does end up having Wi-Fi, you can utilize that for credit card processing. Rented terminals for either form of wireless are surprisingly cheap. Sometimes cheaper then that often spectacularly expensive phone line that they wire up for booths who pay for them.

As of about a week ago MSBA has made phone lines and internet hard lines available to all vendors that have requested such. I will say that these services are in my opinion expensive.

Yes, there are ATM's in the facility.

Bump.

Not sure of the end result here folks, so hit your local ATM as there will be a run on the ones at the stadium for sure....
