Georgetown offering refunds on BET tickets

[hoya95]

If there's anyone else like me who has canceled their plans to go to the Big East Tournament because of the virus, I just got an email from the ticket office saying that they are offering refunds to those who bought tickets through Georgetown if you email the ticket office by 9am tomorrow. I was going to bring my mom up there, and that just seemed insane now. So I'm really appreciative that they've offered this. Was basically going to have to eat the cost of the tickets otherwise.

Dear Hoya Fan:

STATEMENT FROM THE BIG EAST CONFERENCE

The BIG EAST Conference is moving forward with our plans to conduct the BIG EAST Tournament at Madison Square Garden as scheduled on March 11-14. We have maintained a direct line of communication with the New York City Department of Health and Office of Emergency Management, who are not recommending the cancellation of large gatherings in New York City at this time. We will remain in close communication with our contacts in both units and at Madison Square Garden, the NCAA, professional leagues, other conferences and medical experts in the coming days and will provide updates as circumstances warrant.

The priority of the BIG EAST and our member schools is the health and safety of our student-athletes, administrators, coaches, event personnel and spectators who attend BIG EAST events. We encourage those attending the games to closely follow the CDC and New York City Department of Health hygiene and prevention recommendations relating to COVID-19.

Georgetown University recognizes that some fans may wish to no longer attend the tournament due to ongoing concerns to COVID-19. As such, Georgetown University is giving fans who purchased all-session tickets through Georgetown Athletics the option of a refund. If you would like a refund, please email the Georgetown Athletic Ticket Office at [e-mail] no later than Wednesday, March 11 at 9 a.m. ET. Upon issuing the refund, the ticket office will void your tickets and provide more information on how to properly dispose of them.

Please know that the health and safety of all members of the Georgetown community is our highest priority.

Sincerely,

Lee Reed
Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, Georgetown University

Georgetown also cancelled the Pre Game Hoop Club/Gtown NY Reception at the Public House on Wednesday.

I will most likely refrain from attending as well. What is everyone else thinking?

New York is no less safe that anywhere else. On to the Garden. Beat the Redmen.

Regarding the hysteria, Some perspective from someone whose opinion is more valuable than mine at this link.

I am in generally good health and do not have a compromised immune system, I hope to see thousands of similar able bodied people at the Garden tomorrow on Wednesday.

I do have two extra tickets, baseline section 9. If there are any hoya fans looking for a good seat let me know.

[FHillsNYHoya]

I will be there.

What are the Georgetown seating sections this year?

[HoyaRejuveNation85]

I'll be there.

[njhoya78]

I will be there as well...even though, at age 64, I suppose I would be considered "at-risk" even without a compromised immune system.

I'll be one with an ample supply of hand sanitizing wipes, which I expect will soon become a tradable commodity on Wall Street.
