They dont know how long you will be without your truck, maybe a week, maybe a month, maybe a year. But while they have your truck they still want you to make the $1000 monthly payments on the truck. Even though you have no truck to drive you still have to pay for it. But for each day you dont have your truck they will give you 3% on the dollar for the payments you have made and eventually credit you the difference on future payments or in the event that you want to buy more trucks from them.

The truck vs tickets analogy doesn't really work. In this case you can have your money back if you want it, but if you want to stay a ticket holder with your same seats, you need to keep money in their bank to show that you will be back, otherwise they have to go sell your ticket to someone else. What they are doing is giving you some interest on your tickets, since they are not paying that money out.
As a STH, I am happy with the communication I got this morning, and feel equipped to decide to either get a refund or not (at this point not). If I was truly pissed that there was going to be no season, I would ask for a refund to protest, knowing that someone else will snap up my tickets. At this point I am happy to see how it plays out. I wouldn't actually mind seeing a 60 game season (72 would be perfect).
