Credit card sales

1. Payments by credit cards are authorised online as the customers purchase their tickets.

2. Computers in each ticket office record the sales information which is transferred electronically to the accounts office.

3. Credit card sales are recorded for each credit card company in a receivables ledger.

4. When payment is received from the credit card companies， the accounts clerks agree the total sales values to the amounts received from the credit card companies， less the commission payable to those companies. The receivables ledger is updated with the payments received.
