Hoping for the sake of the staph that there will eventually be some kindaa kiosk or iPad station where you have to scan your card and/or bar receipt.  Or possibly one of those QR things you can take a picture of with your phone.

Ah, bummer.  Didn't see a scanner there, so I didn't think of showing the card.  Maybe next time.  Thanks for the tip!

I asked at the bar...they took it and wrote my number down, but they certainly weren't asking for it.  Not sure how you manage the check-in piece yet.

I went to the show last night but didn't use the card.  It wasn't like anyone was asking for my card.  And I don't know who I was supposed to give it to. 

the door staph taking your ticket will have a scanner for your card.  just show it to them with your ticket, and you'll be all set for your "attending a show" points.

show your card at the box office, merch, kitchen, coffee bar, and the bar when you make a purchase to get those points.

they do realize it is very difficult to use this card, when you live so far away?

Like any other exclusive membership card to one specific, non-national club?

regarding all the discussion here about using your FWB card buying food/beer: my bartender initially tried linking my FWB account manually (by typing my name in the computer, etc etc); then I suggested swiping itthrough the credit card reader, and that apparently worked.  She commented that she had no idea that the cards were swipe-able, which makes me wonder how much training the bartending staff got on these things.

When I bought tickets at the window, though, they had me write down the email address associated with my FWB card and said that it would get linked that way.  Which seems extremely inefficient if the card could just be swiped.

Yeah, I mean, if you explore the card itself for more than 2 minutes you'll discover the swipe strip on the back.... I thought that was there so that the card could be swiped....

So, if I open up a tab at a show I can use my card to get those points? That's boss.

Looks like it's a one to one ratio on drink purchases too.  Just noticed my account has 14 new points for drinks I bought at a show (seven for each one, which is what they cost).  That rules!

I got an email for a "Post-Sale" to one of the shows a couple weeks ago.... Mumford & Sons maybe? Or Lumineers? I'd have to pull it back up...
