Flames payment issue

[Flames_Gimp]

thanks for the input guys, helped me think about it logically without making any emotional knee jerk reactions. I think I understand their position better now.

I'm actually with you on the back charge. that's pretty crappy of them, and you can probably wiggle your way out of that if you complain enough. Thought it was tickets going forward, which I think still sucks, but make sense from their prospective.

yup see that makes sense to me, i think charging going forward is fair, but I was a current STH during all the games up until cancellation and I think that's a fair compromise to ask them to just charge the difference on the remaining games and not the games already played.

No harm in asking!

If you normally can’t get out of season’s tickets and they let you out of them and refund the remaining with the caveat that you pay the extra on the previous Wrangler tickets? Pretty fair, imo.

If you normally can get out of season’s tickets and have the rest refunded but they’re saying you have to backpay to cover the deal you got on Wranglers tickets, that’s kind of ####ty.

Same policy either way, I understand, but I guess the difference is: have they already done you a favour worth more than the ####ty policy? if so, accept the ####ty policy. if not, I’d be pissed about the nickel and diming.

The wierd thing is though that they are refunding whatever part of of the season tickets he can’t use which they probably wouldn’t have to do. Yet then they want to charge him for the wranglers tickets because of T+Cs? I don’t get it. If they were sticklers for T+Cs then why let him cancel the flames tickets if they aren’t why charge him more for wranglers tickets that ended up donated.

I don’t understand the inconsistency.

This sort of makes me think of when I found out you can sell your membership back to Calgary Co-op.

I looked into this once. They will buy the shares on your statement back from you, but iirc only if you die or have already moved out of the Calgary area.

Sort of hard for people who are dead/moved away to do it, which is of course the point.

I will fake my own death! How much are talking about here though?

We rarely shop or fuel at Co-op anymore, and we're almost at the top end of the equity percentage from being members for about 16 years or maybe it's longer, I don't recall. If we fake moved back to where my husband is from, we could cash out around $1500, I think. I don't recall for sure, I'd have to see the equity statement when it shows up.

lol, that's nothing, dude. My mom's number is five digits and she's been a member since the 1970s.

Give the situation if I were running the Flames I would 100% refund you for the remaining games of the Flames season tickets. Not being able to attend for medical reasons seems reasonable, even if the policy is no refunds.

Given the Wranglers are essentially the same organization, I would step in and refund the remaining Wranglers tickets for you as well.

Understandably I wouldn't want to create a scenario where someone (not saying this would ever be your intention) but where someone could buy Flames season tickets, then get a discount on Wranglers season tickets, then once the Wranglers season tickets are purchased, cancel the Flames season tickets only to keep the Wranglers season tickets at the discounted rate.

However, what's already done is already done. In my mind, the Wranglers games that already took place you were a season ticket holder at the time and should get the discount. If you wanted to keep the Wranglers tickets, it would be reasonable that you'd forfeit the remaining discount moving forward but not retroactively.

It's not that hard (or it wasn't 25 years ago). You just have to fill out a form and they send you a cheque.

Also, if you're over 65, you can cash out your equity. I think they keep your number active and still send you the refund every year, they just don't keep adding shares anymore.

There's a high proportion of seniors at the Macleod Co-op, every so often you end up in line behind one with a three digit membership number. Co-op in the 70s was awesome with the Kid's Korral.

I'm pretty sure they had kid korral's well into the 90's and maybe even into the new millennium. I remember seeing them when I was in my teens and I remember the CCTVs they had around the store so that parents could see what the kids were up to.

Yeah, the new Macleod Trail store opened in late 2001, and it had a Kiddie Korral with the monitors around the store when it first opened.
