Segra Park is a fully cashless facility. Eliminating the exchange of cash limits person-to-person contact and keeps all Fireflies fans and staff members safe. All major credit cards will be accepted at every point of sale at Segra Park, including at the Duke’s Investigations Fireflies Ticket Office, at the Mason Jar Team Store, in the parking lots and at all concession stands.
Fans who bring cash will, at any point during the game, be able to convert that into Fireflies Gift Cards at the Dukes Investigations Guest Services Kiosk, which is located on the concourse behind home plate. Gift Cards will be available in increments of $5 and will not have an expiration date.
