Kolek planning to go pro
Nothing is even close to being decided, so why worry about it now?
(Personally, I think there's a 1% chance of a season and a .01% chance of fans in the stands, so this might be moot, but for the purposes of discussion let's assume the show is going on)So here's the deal. My parents are in their 70s. They've held their season tickets forever and had their seats and the points associated with them passed along to them by my grandfather, who had tickets back into the 1960s. They, for obvious reasons, aren't willing to go to games during a pandemic, so want to be able to skip this year, but don't really want to bid farewell to over half a century's worth of priority point hoarding.Anyone have any experience with getting the ticket office to basically allow a "Deferred" year or something to that effect?
This does not address the basic problem. Some long-time(which means old) ticket holders do not feel safe going to games. I know that I will not be going tp games this year. The options are to give up my tickets, which go back to the 1955-56 season or buy one season ticket and make sure I donate at least $100 to Blue and Gold fund. That will keep my season ticket and donation string going.
[...] I suppose it doesn't hurt to ask, but Marquette basketball is a business, and as such they are interested in selling tickets and getting donations. [...]
Agreed. Maybe an option that would allow you to donate a certain amount to the B&G Fund (say $500) and defer buying tickets for this season.
Yeah, my initial recomendation was to call in and just explain the situation (age, length of season ticket tenure) and see if there's an not-advertised back door.Whether that's just we'll let you waive out of it or "give us an $X donation and you're good this year" or what, I don't know. I just kinda figured it couldn't hurt to see if the internet hive mind might have tried it and had any insights.
