Michigan Wolverines Football: A.D. Offering PSD Refunds, Other Options
The 2020 college football season remains in question due to Coronavirus concerns, and the Michigan Athletic Department is responding accordingly. The A.D. released an email today that they'd be offering refunds on Personal Seat Donations along with other options.
Their note to ticket holders:
We hope that this note finds you and your family in good health and good spirits. We are writing to you based on many of the questions that we have received pertaining to potential changes in our ticket policy and thought it would be best to share modifications with everyone.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, one of our goals has been to provide you with frequent updates. As the pandemic and global response continue to evolve, we remain committed to providing flexible options as it relates to season tickets in the sports of football, ice hockey, and basketball.
Sadly, over the past few weeks, we have continued to see COVID-19 impacting so many in our communities. There are many questions, including what impact this pandemic may have on the future, including our 2020-21 sports calendars - at this present time, we don't have answers. Speculation about the global environment 4-6 months from now is premature, and we will continue to follow the advice and directives of medical experts and health officials. We are committed to doing whatever is necessary to protect the health of our student-athletes, season ticket holders, and fans.
Over the last several weeks, we have worked to adjust timelines and policies due to this unique and rapidly-changing landscape. Many of you have questions about how an alteration or cancellation of a season might impact you. Again, while it is too soon to speculate, if any sports season were to be canceled in 2020-21, we have made temporary changes to our refund policy to provide the following options for both your Preferred Seat Contribution and season tickets:
Transfer of payments to the following seasons (2021-22)
Changing the allocation of payments to a tax-deductible athletic donation
Receiving a full refund
An additional range of questions remains, including adjusting dates of games or the number of games that could be played. The speculative nature of these questions, coupled with a large number of potential scenarios, prevents us from reasonably defining the types of relief that could be available. We understand and share the frustrations caused by these uncertain times. We recognize the importance and community contribution that each donor and season ticket holder brings to Michigan Athletics, and we are committed to treating you with fairness and appreciation.
Given the difficulties and uncertainties faced by so many, we felt it more than appropriate to push back the ticketing deadlines amidst these extraordinary times.
