Indeed, any unused funds for the 2020-21 season automatically will roll over into the 2021-22 season, when Coyotes staff and league officials anticipate a return to "normal."
Additionally, Season Ticket Members not yet comfortable attending games, if and when the season resumes, will not sacrifice seniority. A 10-year member choosing to pass on 2020-21 games, still will be considered an 11-year member for the 2021-22 season.
The goal is to allow fans to invest based on their comfort level.
"Let's say you come to the season opener and afterward you decide, 'Hey, it's not for me, I'm uncomfortable, it's a different environment,' whatever it is," Doerr said. "You don't have to come to another game that year, and you don't lose out on the money. You just simply take the money left in your account and roll it over to the next season."
Money rolled over will accrue interest.
A Season Ticket Membership buyer investing $500 into the 2020-21 season will receive a three percent interest credit on a balance carried over into the 2021-22 season.
Those who invest $1,000 will receive a five percent interest credit and a five percent food and beverage or merchandise credit. Those who invest $2,000 or more receive 10 percent interest credit and a 10 percent food and beverage or merchandise credit.
"I think because there are so many unknowns, we want to provide a 'known' for the fans that their money is safe with us," Doerr said. "They can use it as they see fit. Whether that's the 2020-21 season or the year after, they're going to be able to use that money how they want to use it for the games they want."
