Not sure about match tickets but I'd hope those will be fully refunded. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about match tickets but I'd hope those will be fully refunded. The hotels maybe but I’ll bet very few have booked flexible fares. Who would refund the match tickets - not Rangers for sure and can’t see why BL would feel compelled to be out of pocket, so unless German authority that imposed the restriction will stand good for the liability I think this is simple force majeure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 19-20 being cancelled, the European places for 20-21 will be the same as at the start of 19-20. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 The club got lucky in a sense. Leverkusen and yahoos at home are 2 of the most financially lucrative games left this season. And they both appear about to escape any upcoming ground closure due to virus. I would guess those two games have to be worth at least £2.5 million or so of income which could have been lost. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One wonders, though, how many people infect others with Influenza each year/season while attending football matches and lead to the deaths of how many hundreds in Britain alone? What clubs could do is advice the high risk group of people (elderly, ill et al) to skip a few games per season, likewise those with such people at home. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Celtic game has little relevance financially given that ST's have already been purchased, hospitality aside, though I suspect hospitality doesn't add that much revenue. Leverkusen game admittedly does. Cost me 75 quid for an adult and child ticket for tomorrow's game... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
