Saint Charles Convention Center is Now a Cashless Venue

Effective April 1, 2025, the Saint Charles Convention Center (SCCC) has transitioned to a fully cashless venue for all food and beverage purchases. This change aligns with industry best practices and is designed to enhance efficiency, security, and the overall guest experience.

What to Expect

  • Food & Beverage Purchases: Beginning April 1, all SCCC-operated concessions, bars, and dining locations only accept digital payments, including credit/debit cards and mobile payment options such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
  • Ticket Purchases: The box office continues to accept cash for ticket sales.
  • Vendors at Consumer & Trade Shows: Vendors at the events are not affected by this change and may continue accepting cash or card at their discretion. An ATM remains on-site for guest convenience.
  • Guests with Cash: Guests who only have cash and wish to purchase food or beverages can visit Guest Services (when open) to purchase an SCCC Gift Card, which can be used at on-site SCCC food and beverage location.
