How to buy tickets

Please make sure you buy before you board
Our tram network operates a "Buy before you Board" policy so you need to ensure that you purchase a ticket before boarding.

Failure to do so could result in a £70 penalty fare. There are a number of options available to you depending on your preferred method of payment. These options are outlined below.

Please visit out tickets page for the latest ticket and price information

Ticket Machines

Ticket machines are located at each tram stop. Simply follow the instructions on the touch screen and pay by either cash, card, Apple pay or Google pay. Should you run into any difficulty, help points are available at each tram stop.

NETGO!

Our app NETGO! is one of the most popular ways to purchase a ticket. Simply download from either the Apple App Store or Google play and your tickets will be available on your phone. For more information, please visit our NETGO! page.

Contactless on our validators

Contactless payment is now available on all of our lime green validators across the network, meaning that anyone wishing to purchase an adult single or day ticket can do so by tapping their debit/credit card (or mobile device with apple or Google pay) at the start of their journey.

An upgrade in technology now means that our staff out on the network have the ability to scan debit/credit cards to check that a ticket purchase has been made, should we request to see your ticket.

Customers wishing to use contactless when travelling by tram should tap on their payment cards or mobile devices against the lime green validators at the end of the platform before boarding the tram.

You’ll hear a beep and a green tick will show on the screen to indicate a payment for a single journey has been made. You don’t need to tap off once you have completed your journey, simply tap on before boarding each time you use the tram and you will only be charged a maximum of our adult daily fares.

This is NETs first step as part of the Nottingham Contactless scheme and it is hoped by the end of the year that customers will be able to use their debit/credit cards to make multiple journeys across Trams and buses in the city.
