Depending on when your trip is there will likely be Septa personal at the entrance to BSL station, walking from SS, to help you with using the new septa key fare machines. Most of the token machines are gone. But, AFAIK, you can still give cash directly to the booth person.

One: if the OP is attending a Flyers game at the Wells Fargo Center, the Broad Street Line's "Sports Express" trains will operate to AT&T Station before it and from AT&T after it. (They don't run for Sixers games, which tells you something about the relative popularity of the Flyers and Sixers.)

Look for blue marker lights on the front of the train as it enters the station on the express track. The side destination signs will also read "SPECIAL" in blue in addition to the end points and the "EXPRESS" designation.

If the OP is attending anything other than a Flyers game, the quoted comment above applies.

Two: When you disembark at Suburban Station, you will have to make your way through the Penn Center concourses to get to the subway stations. There are signs pointing the way to the subway and trolley lines, and as you get closer to the 15th Street stations, you should see signs with orange backgrounds. Follow those to get to the BSL platforms. You will pass through either the Market-Frankford Line 15th Street station or the 15th-West Plaza trolley subway station first before going down to the BSL.

You can buy a "Quick Trip" ticket from the SEPTA Key fare kiosks. These are good for a single ride on rapid transit from the station where it's purchased. The trip from City Hall to the WFC is exactly what this was made for. It's the same price as a cash fare, IIRC.
