The Tappit generation will be used to allow cell phone bills at Arrowhead Stadium, home of Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, as part of a long-term deal, the company announced Thursday.
Tappit is now the Chiefs’ official cellular payment solution for the team application. Your generation will head the app’s new Scan-and-Go cashless payment feature at Arrowhead, making the team branded ChiefsPay.
Tappit has many high-level foreign clients, including football giants Manchester City, the Australian Formula One Grand Prix and Dubai Rugby Stadium, but is looking to expand its partnerships with the United States. If the Chiefs and Tappit resolve their mutual choices, the partnership could become a 10-year pact, Thomas said.
Tappit has a software progression kit that will go to the Chiefs cellular app and can be integrated with any point-of-sale formula or any visitor control formula. Therefore, for any team that wishes to marry Tappit, this will not be the existing infrastructure of this team, which, according to Thomas, reassures the spouses’ internal technical groups.
The Chiefs refused to tell whether Arrowhead Stadium will run out of cash or whether there will still be old records in their concession positions. In early July, Kansas City posted on his team’s online page that there might be a chance arrowhead would have Fans in Chiefs games in a limited capacity, with season tickets getting first prizes in seats. The Chiefs made no further comments when asked if the enthusiasts would attend the games in 2020.
“The fitness of enthusiasts and staff comes first, and if there are no enthusiasts this year, there are no enthusiasts this year,” Thomas said. “We are in this agreement from a long-term game perspective.”
The ability of enthusiasts to use a QR code to pay for food and memories in the Chiefs game is notoriously massive when enthusiasts can show up for games, but especially if they provide the pandemic before there is a cure for the coronavirus.
“It gave a little more comfort to the organization’s enthusiasts,” Thomas said.
Thomas and Tappit are talking to top five American professional sports, MLB, NBA, MLS, NHL, NFL and will have over 3 or 4 more partnership announcements to do over the next two months.
“We’re really looking to decide on partners that we think will really inspire adoption, and fan bases where many enthusiasts are already using their team app,” Thomas said. “In fact, I’m looking to go to Kansas City and watch enthusiasts use our solution that will definitely make fans experience.”
