If you can believe my rep, they had to do it this way.
They didn't "have" to do it any particular way. They didn't have any faith that the fanbase would step up so they had to mandate "giving". Which actually makes it "paying".

Not that we'll ever see it, but would be interesting to see the Option choices taken by length of season ticket purchase participation. Have to think that long standing purchasers would never want to give up prime seating options while relative newcomers would want the cash and take their chances next year again as newcomers..
Have to think that a lot of seats will come back on the market..
Well, you didn't have long standing seats to be worried about. On the plus side, if you go full refund, there might be better seats avail next year if people bailFirst time season ticket holder in for a large donation amount... which was all predicated on initial communications where all could be refunded. I’m sure I didn’t read the fine print but I was under the impression that jumping in for tix was no risk because of the option to refund. So yes I can get all my money back but I’ll lose the seats I just selected. It’s not quite what I was expecting.
That was almost me. The best seats in the house were available to me in my timeslot last year. My 35-year ticket partner wouldn't go for the $800. contribution so we dropped back a level. I have no problem telling them to keep my hundy and put the rest toward next year. But if I had made the the jump, their telling me I have to pay $400 for nothing to keep my seats would make saying no an easy choice.First time season ticket holder in for a large donation amount... which was all predicated on initial communications where all could be refunded.
