Virginia Tech fans that had tickets to the cancelled East Carolina University game can now receive refunds for the contest no longer being played. University officials announced Friday they are now beginning the process of refunding all tickets purchased for game originally scheduled for Sept. 15.
Tech Athletic Director Whit Babcock thanked the fans for their patience in the matter.
“We will continue to explore and evaluate options for this year as practical, and into the future. We’ll keep evaluating and give our best for Virginia Tech and the Hokies. We will make more details available once they are determined and finalized,” he said.
Important details for fans holding tickets to the cancelled Sept. 15 game:
- All credit card orders will be automatically refunded to the card that was used for the initial purchase.
- All check and cash orders will be refunded by check to the account that made the purchase.
- Individuals who purchased single-game tickets for the Sept. 15 contest at the ticket office window at Lane Stadium with a check or cash for the game against ECU will need to contact the Ticket Office at: hokietix@vt.edu to explore refund options.
- All tickets ordered through StubHub, Virginia Tech’s official secondary market partner, will be refunded by Stub Hub.
- All tickets ordered through other secondary marketplaces will also be refunded. Individuals who purchased tickets via secondary markets other than StubHub should contact those vendors directly to inquire about their refund.
- Patrons should expect refunds to appear on their credit card statements within three to six weeks, depending on how long their financial institution takes to release the refund.
Patrons with additional questions are encouraged to contact the Ticket Office at (540) 231-6731 or 1-800-828-3244.
Meanwhile the options still look grim on whether the game will be rescheduled. ECU already has rescheduled a similar game with N.C. State that was also cancelled because of a tropical storm and heavy downpours associated with the event. Thus, there seems to be no date available for a second try at ECU-Virginia Tech this season.
