If you don’t have a valid paper or mobile app ticket, or you don’t touch-in successfully with a smart card, contactless card or contactless device you may be charged a standard fare of up to £100.
You must buy your ticket or touch-in before getting on the tram, and your ticket must cover the date, time and zone(s) of your journey.
Details about all the ways to pay are available at each stop and on our website.
Metrolink staff regularly travel across the tram network checking tickets. A standard fare may be issued as a notice during inspection or as a charge directly to a contactless card or device you presented during an inspection.
