Some season ticket members of the Colorado Avalanche now have a tough choice to make. Thanks to the decision to hold games inside a fanless Ball Arena, fans how have two options. Get a refund for their memberships and give up their seats, or “rollover” sunk payments for games that they likely won’t even be allowed to attend.
The arena, formerly known as the Pepsi Center, hasn’t seen a fan since March 11, 2020. Yet, season ticket holders were charged for a playoff package that they wouldn’t ever see - even when NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman announced plans to return to play in two empty arenas twelve and fifteen hundred miles from Denver.
