CharlieTickets are available from ticket vending machines in MBTA rapid transit stations. CharlieCards are not dispensed by the machines, but are available free of charge on request at most MBTA Customer Service booths in stations, or at the CharlieCard Store at Downtown Crossing station. As given out, the CharlieCards are "empty", and must have value added at an MBTA ticket machine before they can be used.
The fare system, including on-board and in-station fare vending machines, was purchased from [[Germany|German]]-based Scheidt and Bachmann, which developed the technology.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scheidt-bachmann.com/ |title=Scheidt and Bachmann (S&B) |work=Scheidt-bachmann.com |access-date=June 18, 2012}}</ref> The CharlieCards were developed by Gemalto and later by Giesecke & Devrient.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gemalto.com/php/pr_view.php?id=149 |title=Gemalto Press Release: Gemalto to Provide 3.5 Million Transit Payment Devices to Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority |work=Gemalto.com |date=March 7, 2007 |access-date=June 18, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS136568+30-Jan-2008+BW20080130 |title=G&D Delivers Next Generation CharlieCard to MBTA |author=Heather Klein |publisher=Giesecke & Devrient |date=January 30, 2008 |access-date=September 18, 2013 |archive-date=September 9, 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120909144608/http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS136568+30-Jan-2008+BW20080130 |url-status=dead }} {{Cite web |url=http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS136568+30-Jan-2008+BW20080130 |title=Salinan arsip |access-date=2022-08-25 |archive-date=2012-09-09 |archive-url=https://archive.
Upon introduction in 2007, fares for reloadable CharlieCard contactless smart cards were substantially lower, to encourage riders to use them. The alternative [[magnetic stripe]] CharlieTickets were not as durable (and so could only be loaded once), were slower to read, and required maintenance of machines with moving parts.
