Attendance policy from JP...
- Thread starter MartyFine
- Start date
I appreciate the fact that we have choices. We re-upped in March. From what I'm seeing, we can
1) attend the games if things have improved virus-wise
2) sell our seats for each game
3) get a refund and buy again next year
4) release our tickets and put the cost against next year
For us (as people considered high risk), it will really depend on the closeness of contact - and mask usage. I also wonder what (if any) tailgating will be allowed).
They may likely REQUIRE that all in attendance wear masks/facial coverings. I am not sure how you feel about those, but that may help.
I agree with the potential of limiting tailgating. But it's still only May. By September, things could be much better. Just as they could be worse.
Like many others have said, I believe this is a decent plan for May and the circumstances as we know them now.
I doubt it. Once they hit 30k they will cut it off. If you renewed already I think you will be in.
Yeah...there's your problem. When you're talking about Barta, "the decent thing to do" pretty much flies out the window.
Probably open it up to new season tickets after June 12th, if they haven’t hit 30k.
Hence JP's great idea to allow people to refund and still get the tickets they are used to next year. I guess it's tough for me as a guy who loves going to JTS to understand why people who actually get to go to the games are going to be upset, especially when there are no consequences to them choosing not to buy tickets this year. No one is putting a gun to their head.
a question a friend posed:
what if you had general public last year, and renewed (for new seats) this year and donated. you in or out?

I think they will need to barricade the parking lots. I don’t see how you can regulate games and not regulate tailgates. It defeats the purpose.
Jamie's 50% capacity is based on current guidelines - wonder if the state fair ends up limiting to 50k per day and you would buy a ticket for a specific day to limit attendance.
This exactly, I still had to donate... So I expect to not be in the corner.
I am not sure yet, but in the message we can cancel before the season and push that $$ to 2021.
Even rows one game, odd rows another. Assume if you have four tickets together, you will be in a "household" and will be able to sit together and not six feet apart.
It'll depend on demand. This will be based on giving level. So if 30K tickets are requested from folks donating more, then you're probably out and getting a refund. I'd imagine Jamie was vague on this for a reason. He wants to wait for all renewals in before saying that they're denying ticket requests. But I fully expect that to happen.
I figure some folks may not be able to sit in the same seats they always have. And maybe folks will rotate locations. We used to do that with MBB student tickets when I was in school.
Someone's going to have to sit in the corner. And I'm sure they will be people who donated to get those seats. But, you can always get a refund and they'll find someone that will sit in that corner.
I think that if they do require masks to attend, that would help. Maybe even hand them out, like they've done with other things like rally towels, etc. I think even if they do though, there will be people who won't wear them. Some for political reasons, some because of personal phobias, and others will just forget to put them on or rip them by accident, etc. If they are made mandatory, I'd guess you'll have maybe 70-80% of people wearing them? Maybe a higher percent with tickets limited to season ticket holders.
Like you said though, it's May right now. Let's wait and see until September. Even October and November could be different. I'm hoping for the best.
There's no indication they're actually reseating people though.
Even if they were that wouldn't work at all for sections like the jack trice club where people pay more for the amenities- and it's usually wall to wall people in there
I'm probably wearing my mask to November games in the future anyway. I'm surprised at how warm they keep you. Not exactly looking forward to wearing a mask on 9/5 when it's 99 degrees and humid...
