Earlier this season I ordered, along with my Iron Dukes renewal tickets, two bleacher tickets to the Jan 4th Virginia Tech game. They were for a college-age daughter of a friend of mine....surprise birthday/Christmas gift.
Today I received an e-mail from the Iron Dukes, stating "We regret that we do not have tickets available for you....we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused." They are to refund my money.
Fortunately the "surprise" had not yet been announced to the friend (just the parents). I am, however, a bit perplexed at the "now you have them...now you don't" aspect of the entire scenario. I would much have preferred to have left it at "no tickets are available."
I do have my upstairs seats, which I can give to the student, but rest assured she would have been in Devil Heaven to 1) get such a gift and 2) sit "downstairs."
It has been a while since I ordered any extra tickets. Is this a common problem??
