If you used the ticket site to buy your tickets the parking pass was an option on that site.
Actually, when I bought, it said they would be an option at a later date. I need to call the Ticket Office.

Other schools are allowing season ticket holders to push their season tickets to next year vs. receiving a refund. It just baffles me why VCU will not. Season ticket holders pushing their season tickets to next year locks in those sold season tickets for next year. Doing refunds does not.
And as someone suggested in a previous post, allowing season ticket holders to push their season tickets to next year is NOT a tax issue for VCU or the season ticket holder. For whatever reason, Ed and company just don't want to do it. And wait until they get swamped with refund requests, and then find out how much it's going to cost the athletic department to process all of those requests. And they better not be charging a service fee to the season ticket holders for processing those refund requests!
Moving the tickets from 2020-21 to 2021-22 would definitely be the easiest and cheapest thing for them to do if they were planning on fully refunding us. The fact that they are not offering this option tells me they are going to try to get away with not refunding all of our money.
this, 100% thisbecause its obvious Athletics doesn't give 2 $#!ts about a lot of their fans as long as they have $$$$ coming in.
California isn't allowing fans at NFL games, yet the majority of NFL teams are now allowing them. We are living in completely different countries right now, what's going on in CA only goes as far as states with similar political leanings. My guess would be 1k capacity for games based on current state rules. After accounting for teams/employees, etc you have to split 800 spots bt STH and students? Not much honey in that jar, but I suspect each donor gets a handful of games.
No way are they going to split it up... and say "ok you can get tickets to 3-5 games only."
I hate praising NC State in any athletic capacity but it really does seem like their AD has been killing it in their response to COVID. ED and the rest of the group could really take some notes from them.NC State has for football. The state allows 4,000 at the football games. 2,000 tickets go to the students. Players' families are also allotted tickets. The remaining tickets were open to season ticket holders who converted their season ticket funds over to the Wolfpack Club. Those ticket holders then got to rank the home games in their individual order of preference and received up to 4 tickets and a parking pass to the highest selected game that was still available. If any tickets were remaining, then regular season ticket holders could purchase them on a game by game basis.
VCU could easily do the same thing by offering mini packages vs. the entire season, thereby accommodating more season ticket holders.
The problem with VCU athletics is there is absolutely no creative processes involved in the fiasco they have created. It's really sad that this is the best they can do.
You have the option of dropping everyone at the SC, go park whereever and then do the reverse when the game is over.We're a group of 4, and we donated a little over 1k. To be able to purchase parking, we'd have to donate 2k. Again, someone in our party is elderly, and she really couldn't walk far. Parking was thus essential for us. That's why we'd have to up our donation by 1k.
Follow this.Actually, when I bought, it said they would be an option at a later date. I need to call the Ticket Office.
Or we could just keep our money and stop supporting the program, since you know as well as I do how hard the option you mentioned would be after the game.You have the option of dropping everyone at the SC, go park whereever and then do the reverse when the game is over.
Have you looked at street parking along the Pulse corridor and taking the bus to the game over parking in the deck? That is what I have done in the past when I have taken an elderly family member to a game.We're a group of 4, and we donated a little over 1k. To be able to purchase parking, we'd have to donate 2k. Again, someone in our party is elderly, and she really couldn't walk far. Parking was thus essential for us. That's why we'd have to up our donation by 1k.
I don't see the problem after the game as they could wait in the SC until the car arrives to pick them up at the door. I also thought of the same option as Ramcounter. This is a case of "Where there is a will there is a way.Or we could just keep our money and stop supporting the program, since you know as well as I do how hard the option you mentioned would be after the game.
