Acrisure Arena launches AiFi tech powered Grab & Go Stands for checkout-free shopping experience

Acrisure Arena in Greater Palm Springs, USA has rolled out frictionless checkout stores powered by AiFi.

The Grab & Go Stands within the venue enable people to select food and drink items they’d like to purchase and walk out without waiting in line or scanning to pay so they can get back to their seats faster. 

They are located near the fuzzbox premium cocktails bar and inside the South Main Entrance, and serve soft drinks, water, beers, and pizza.

Steve Carlin, CEO at AiFi, comments: “We’re excited to work with Acrisure Arena to further enhance the fan experience through the use of our frictionless checkout technology. Our goal is to revolutionise the way people enjoy events by eliminating long lines and wait times.”

“This latest opening at Acrisure Arena underscores our commitment to driving seamless, cutting-edge retail solutions that redefine traditional retail experiences.”

“We are pleased to introduce AiFi technology in two Grab & Go Stands at Acrisure Arena,” says John Page, Senior Vice President at Acrisure Arena and Coachella Valley Firebirds.

“These stands represent our commitment to providing fans with the ultimate convenience and a seamless experience during their visit to the arena.”

To streamline the purchasing process, people will be required to pre-authorise a $25 card charge before entering the stand. If they spend less than $25, a credit will be issued within three to five days.

To purchase items, fans can tap their credit card or use Apple Pay/Google Pay devices. A receipt will be available upon exit by scanning a QR code, and the receipt will be emailed to the guest within minutes. 

Staff will be present to verify identification before purchasing alcohol.
