How to buy tickets

Ticket machines
You’ll find ticket machines at every tram stop. Just follow the touchscreen instructions and pay with cash, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. If you need any help, just use the help points at each stop.
NETGO!
Our NETGO! app is one of the easiest ways to buy and store your ticket. Download it from the Apple App Store or Google Play and your tickets are ready to go.


Contactless on our validators
Our lime green validators accept contactless payment for adult singles and day tickets. Just tap your contactless bank card or phone at the start of your journey – you’ll see a green tick and hear a beep once payment has been made. No need to tap out (unless you’re using a short hop ticket – more on that below).
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.
Short Hop Contactless
Travelling within one of our 9 short hop zones? It’s just £1.50 for a single trip when you pay by contactless.
You can pay via contactless with your mobile phone or contactless bank card at a validator – you need to tap on the validator before you board. But unlike our other tickets, you must also tap off on the validator when you exit the tram, then the system knows to cap your travel at £1.50.


Multi-operator Contactless
Nottingham Contactless multi-operator Tap & Go option is available across Nottingham City Transport buses, NET trams and Linkbuses operated by CT4N. You can tap on with contactless bank cards or phones throughout the day and pay one daily charge capped at the best fare for your travel, regardless of which of the three operators you use or however many journeys you make on the day.
