Michigan's athletic department is offering a range of refund policies to season ticket holders due to the coronavirus pandemic.

According to an email sent out Thursday afternoon to season ticket holders, the athletic department has created several contingency plans in the case of season cancellations in 2020-21 due to COVID-19.

"Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, one of our goals has been to provide you with frequent updates," the email read. "As the pandemic and global response continue to evolve, we remain committed to providing flexible options as it relates to season tickets in the sports of football, ice hockey, and basketball."

Michigan's refund policy now has three additional options for "both your preferred seat contribution and season tickets": Transfer of payments to the following seasons (2021-22); changing the allocation of payments to a tax-deductible athletic donation; and receiving a full refund.

The athletic department has also changed the season ticket renewal deadline.

"Given the difficulties and uncertainties faced by so many, we felt it more than appropriate to push back the ticketing deadlines amidst these extraordinary times," the email read.

Those who own season tickets for football now have until June 1 to renew their tickets. Season ticket upgrades and seat additions are delayed and will occur between June 8 and June 19. Three-game ticket packs will go on sale July 7, and single game ticket sales will start July 21.

For men's basketball and hockey, the preferred seat contribution renewal deadline has been pushed to June 30, and season tickets can be renewed between July 17 and Aug. 7. The athletic department is offering a payment plan that allows season ticket holders to pay 50% by the Aug. 7 deadline and the remaining 50% on Sept. 4.

"We understand and share the frustrations caused by these uncertain times," the email read. "We recognize the importance and community contribution that each donor and season ticket holder brings to Michigan athletics, and we are committed to treating you with fairness and appreciation."
