Wonder how the ticket office will handle two game refund
- Thread starter Scarlet Shack
- Start date
Huh ? There won’t be fans at any games if there are even any games.
if i was them i would offer three options to people who paid already
1) Refund
2) Money applied to next year
3) Donation
the hoops signup for season tix is due July 14..if I were the ticket office I would put that on hold, seems ridiculous to require any deadline at this point for signups
You mean 2 sport refund?
Ticket office has way more to worry about than the 2 OOC football games.
Refund? That’s the last option for RU, just like it is with the Mets and Yankees.
RU wants to hold your money, just like any other sports organization.

If this plays out as expected, I for one will enjoy no payment next season as I’ll most likely apply the payments for next year.
We are looking at possibly pulling the trigger on a beach home this winter so looking forward to that saved cash :)

I plan to donate our four tickets and seat gifts to the Greg Schiano Fieldhouse fund.
There's nothing to wonder about, they addressed it a couple of months ago:
Updated COVID-19 Disclaimer: If an event is postponed, canceled, or otherwise altered due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rutgers Athletics has made temporary changes to the refund policy to provide options for both ticket purchases and RSF seat fees (if applicable).

- Transfer payments as a credit towards a future purchase that season or the following season. At the conclusion of the following season, unused credits will be voided.
- Change the allocation of payment into a tax-deductible athletic donation.
- Receive a refund for the postponed or canceled event.
it’s an odd question ...but actually it really needs to be handled right so that the athletic department doesn’t cone out with a major PR black eye.
we all know the athletic dept needs both cash flow and revenue (two different things) and certainly having two home football games just took a couple of million out of the revenue stream for sure and made it temporarily cash flow as a prepaid deposit toward something
Obviously ...there are 5 more games at risk and the capacity of the stadium ...so this is a big issue
I just hope we handle it right and strike a balance to not alienate an already significantly reduced ticket. Base ...
There won't be fans in the stadium. My guess is that there won't be any games, either. The Covid is getting worse, not better. The hot spots will be on lockdown within the next month.
I have no problem rolling my money over to next year. If you ask for a refund your seat donation will be kept as it's considered a gift already. If they ask for another seat donation next year I'll simply deduct that from another sport I donate to. Sucks for the other sport. Call me cheap, call me whatever, but I've been very generous throughout the years for a school who's stated goal was simply "participation".
That's something Rutgers can do.. make some special deal where if you donate the cost of your seats you get some kind of permanent points addition.. thereby putting those who donate it ahead of those who don't. I think the numbers of pleased/pissed off season-ticket holders would work okay.
Oh.. and have a lottery to be one of the few to be able to watch a game. I know "no fans" is a thing.. but if you have maybe 5% spread way out all over the best seats.. I don't see an issue with that.

That won't happen. If there are no fans at the games, it will be due to an NCAA or Big Ten ruling. Nobody would be allowed to have 5% capacity unless that's what the ruling is.

There isn't going to be a season. The quicker you realize that the better for your mental health.
I will carry over my football, men’s and women’s basketball and wrestling season tickets to next year.
