Large Event Payment Changes
The liquor code rule requiring ticket sales at large scale events in town has changed to allow for other forms of non-cash payment. Modernized options like RFID wristbands have created new possibilities for large events. Last year, Ribest tried out the RFID wristbands with up to 20 percent of guests using them. The change in the liquor code applies to events of 2000 people or more and any new non-cash system will have to be approved before application.
