76ers, Flyers fans can get tickets refunded for postponed games
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia 76ers and Flyers ticket holders got some more information Tuesday regarding how they can get refunded for games that have not yet been played due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Flyers Fans
"In these unprecedented times, we appreciate our fans' patience as we navigate through uncertainty surrounding how and when Flyers hockey will resume at the Wells Fargo Center," the Flyers said in a statement. "While we remain hopeful that the 2019-20 season will resume, we have proactively updated our ticket policies for the regular season games that have not yet been played as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic."
Flyers season ticket members will receive a credit for the six unplayed home games in the 2019-20 season, to be applied to their 2020-21 season payment due in June.
"All Season Ticket Members were given the opportunity to defer their April and May payments. Applying this credit to their June payment will further alleviate Members' needs to make payments toward their 2020-21 Season Memberships at this time," the Flyers said.
All other plan holders will receive a credit that they may apply toward future tickets or may opt to receive a refund.
Single game ticket holders will receive an automatic refund which will be returned in the same manner as it was paid in the next 7-10 business days.
Those who purchased group tickets will be contacted by their ticket representative for credit and refund options.
Fans who purchased tickets through StubHub or other secondary websites will need to contact those sites for refund options, the Flyers said.
Fans who purchased tickets through a Flyers representative, the Philadelphia Flyers website, or at the Wells Fargo Center Box Office will receive a message Tuesday outlining specific details regarding their tickets.
In the event any of the six yet-to-be-played 2019-20 regular season games are rescheduled at the Wells Fargo Center, the Flyers say fans who held tickets for those games will have the first opportunity to purchase new tickets for the rescheduled games.
The Flyers say the refund announcement does not mean the 2019-20 season has been canceled.
The season is still on pause, the team says, and the NHL is "exploring options to finish the 2019-20 season and award the 2020 Stanley Cup."
