This won't happen, but after the way UK fans got to see NO game with their tickets, I'd love to see the Big Blue followers (a.k.a. the SEC Money Cow) basically boycott the next SEC tourney.

 

SEC is apparently full of bad planners and horrible decision makers.

 

I agree with HC. SEC just said "Let's really make this a bad situation for the fans!!!! That'll show them!!!!":D

I think they basically stuck UK because they know Kentucky folks will be back year-in and year-out. If they upset a couple fans from the other schools, oh well.

That is what I mean, they KNOW that UK Fans will be there, so lay the screws to the money cow. They know we'll take it.

THE SEC IS A BUNCH OF DIRTY PEOPLE, AND IDIOTS.

 

The scalpers don't have the tickets that they need to send back. The people that bought the tickets from scalpers didn't buy them from the SEC. So neither people can get a refund for their tickets. DIRTY.

This policy insures that the SEC will not take a financial hit..........heck with the fans who are out all the money. Wouldn't the SEC have some sort of insurance policy that would protect them if something happens to force cancellation or something similar to what transpired?

Gosh, buy tickets through the proper channels and all these problems go away ...

What about people who had to work, decided at the last minute to make the trip, and the only tickets that were available were from scalpers? What about those who only wanted the UK sessions and not the entire book?

 

I'm not looking to get back the money I paid over face value, I just would like my $45 back.

If I may interrupt your temper tantrum for just a minute...

 

The SEC isn't (nor should they be) inclined to provide this service to someone trying to make a buck off of them. They're refunding revenue that they didn't earn to those who can follow the simple procedure that has been laid out.

Revenue they didn't earn because they didn't provide the product.

 

I'd love to know the number of people who got tickets from "primary" sources versus "secondary" ones.

 

How difficult would it be to refund face value for any ticket to the cancelled sessions that is mailed in?

:confused:

 

Didn't the SEC sell all public tickets out there? My guess is yes.

 

Now if those individuals sold them at scalper's prices, how is the SEC out the money? True they didn't get all the value that the possible could but how are they out their original price??????

 

The SEC already made the buck. Now they are banking on taking less of a loss than they might have to by coming up with a set of rules that act like a company not wanting to "pony up" what they should for a product they didn't deliver.

 

How hard would it have been to ask for the original tickets to be mailed in and refund given? The people who bought them (doesn't matter who) would then be entitled to refund for a product they purchased but did not receive.

 

I mean it's not the SEC's fault that a tornado blew through. But they have to replace the product (tourney) or refund the purchase price. It's like they shipped us something and the plane went down. The product is lost but you either replace it (in this case you can't) or you refund it to the ticket holder of a lost product. How hard can or should it be.

In regards to your first paragraph, I never asked a question about that or mentioned anything about the SEC being out money.

 

Second: The SEC is "ponying up" and they're ready and willing to take the loss for anyone who complies with rules that seem to be pretty simple to me if the tickets were purchased from the primary market.

 

Your last paragraph: The SEC IS refunding for the PART of the product that wasn't delivered.

Sorry, I took an inference from this statement:

 

The SEC isn't (nor should they be) inclined to provide this service to someone trying to make a buck off of them.

 

I felt you inferred that the SEC would be out money.

 

 

As to the question about the "primary market" I don't see how there is a problem with those who "hold the tickets" in hand being reimbursed face value regardless of how they got the ticket.

Exactly. No one is asking for the money above face value they paid. Simply the $45 face value, which was either paid by the buyer OR the scalper. Either way, someone bought it.

The bottom line is that if you buy something from a scalper, you're taking a risk. Not being able to be refunded in the case of an extraordinary event is one of those risks. Someone buying tickets from a scalper is not a customer of the SEC (or any SEC school) therefore, it's not the SEC's responsibility to refund them.

Understood. And I'm not overly concerned about the money. I'm just glad the tornado didn't go one block over and destroy the dome. But I think if you're holding an unused ticket for an SEC event, sponsored by the SEC and sold by the SEC, you should be able to exchange it, either for the value of the ticket or a voucher of some kind for future use.
