I am attending this Monday's Raw and will be taking my kids. Therefore I will be spending some money on merchandise and stuff for them. Do the merchandise tables accept/process credit cards? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah they do. Word to the wise, if its anything like Chicago, get there early. At Extreme Rules, I wanted to get a Ryder Headband, the line seriously wrapped around the arena. So try to get there early.

^^^If I remember at the Allstate, there's more than one merch booth. Every time I've been there the lines have been sorta long but nothing really crazy. They're long enough to miss a match though, so you might want to wait until after the event. Or, run up there right when they let everyone in.
Same goes for getting refreshments. If you go out to the lobby during the show you're looking at 10-20 minutes just to get a Pepsi.

Yeah, merch stands are very crowded, maybe wait until the first match (if you don't mind missing a good portion of it). You can always order online, but the benefit to buying at a live event is you don't have to pay tax or shipping. Good luck!

I always go during a commercial break or at the end of the show. Advantage of going at the end is by the time you're done the traffic as thinned down a bit.

So try to get there early. Waiting in line in Chicago (and anywhere else for that matter) is stupid. Everytime I see those lines that go on for forever I just laugh, go to the stand and get my merch. The people working dont care as long as theyre doing their part - selling. |

As others have said, yeah, they absolutely take credit cards.
The advantage to the bigger arenas is that they have multiple merchandise stations. House shows typically only have one, so it's nearly impossible to get something at almost every part of the show.
I always used to try to find the ones tucked in corners that were far away from the populated arena entrances. I seemed to always get what I wanted, and get it quickly.

At PPVs I always try to be one of the first in line so I can get the merchandise over with immediately. Waiting until after leaves a good chance of them being sold out of what you want. It might be different at weekly shows since there's more down time.
Also, if you're buying t shirts, CHECK THE SIZES BEFORE YOU LEAVE! Its extremely hectic so your instinct will be to leave as quickly as possible so as not to hold up the line, but don't. I was once at the very front of the line (got there right when doors opened) and realized they gave me the wrong size after I left the booth. So I went back to the stand and said what happened and the stupid bitch said I'd need to go to the back of the line (which was now easily back to the entrance doors). I said no chance in hell am I waiting in that nonsense AGAIN and after some arguing on my part another guy came over and exchanged it for me. Of course, I checked the size immediately and once again it was the wrong size. So I called him back over and finally got a medium and into the arena before the show started.

I remember for MITB last year everyone was going crazy to get that Punk shirt. That is the one time I should of just bit the bullet and stood in line to buy a shirt. They sold out rather fast I think. |

If you think about it, anyone who bought a ticket to Money In The Bank could've bought two Punk shirts, kept one, sold the other on eBay and got all the money back that you spent on the ticket and the shirt, and then some. Those shirts were selling on eBay for like $600. So in a sense, most people who went to MITB could've got in for free and made a profit. |

Not every arena accepts debit cards at the merch stand, it's not a WWE thing, it's up to each individual arena, I have been to some that do, and others that don't. I actually hate people paying with cards at the Merch stand, it slows the line down tremendously.
