Corona Virus And Playoff Games

[upprdeck]

can you really think that the kids are more at risk playing than sitting around? if they play in empty arenas is that more of an issue than going to the grocery store?

[French Rage]

lets just hope they keep playing

This is where I'm at. I'm all for drastic measures, and I think barring fans is the right move.

But playing the games in front of an empty crowd seems low risk enough.

Yeah at this point I'd come to peace with not being there in person, but I still want there to be games.

Just got an email from Tickets about my refund. They are giving back $6/ticket, which seems low, but I'll have to look at my season ticket prices.

Our local newspaper tries a similar stunt (if your newspaper is not delivered)...   They offer up a $.058 refund for a Sunday newspaper that costs $3 on the newstand.   Thieves!!   When I object and point out that I paid $3 for a replacement newspaper AND, that the newspaper is probably actually worth far less, they will cough up the full $3 refund.   I guess you can't hate them for trying (to screw me).

Martha's email to campus would imply life goes on as normal until break and thats after hockey gets thru to the end of the ECAC so Cornell should at least finish that much.   After that things may be worse or better and re-address.

Yeah, I received that too. Guessing someone pre-scheduled the delivery of those and forgot they had done that.

Nothing like rubbing some salt in the wound...

A friend of mine bought tix for Friday's game @ $20 each.   They told him that he will be refunded the full $20 per ticket.   It just doesn't seem right that season ticketholders would be refunded an amount so far below face-value.

I found my notes from last year and $6 was that refund too..  I just cant believe thats what we were really charged last summer when they came out but maybe.

Just because they got away with thievery last year, doesn't make it right THIS YEAR!   They're going to make a bundle on this game without allowing many people to see the game live.  That's a sin!

[upprdeck]

not sure how they are making money on the game if thats what they really charged though. And its not their money anyway.. None of the playoff money goes to Cornell.

Just saw on Huffington Post that the NCAA will play the Basketball tourney in closed houses (family and critical personnel only).  

I think we can assume there will be no more spectators at hockey games, either in LP or the NCAA's.

And no fans in regionals or FF: NCAA announcement
