I get the feeling that the 'unfulfilled' ticket requesters may get together and take a little collective litigation against CDI...............what BS.

How so? The rules are right there for all to see. If you send your $100, you are agreeing to the terms set forth.

I'm glad we went when we did, got it out of the system cause there is zero chance I would ever agree to this.

More alienation of the wrong people.

[robfla]

I just got the same email. For the first few seconds that I started reading, I was thinking...Great!


Then I got to the part about the deposit, etc. and I thought BS, no way would I even consider it. What's the purpose in keeping half the deposit?

Agreed. They are making it easier and easier to stay home, watch it in HD and push my money through an ADW.

So I did read it correctly... not exactly a 'fan friendly' move on their part.

[slotdirt]

Well, depends on your definition of "fan friendly," I suppose.

Per Jenny Rees Courier Journal article:

With being able to specify 10 preferred locations for seats and the ability to pay a 20% premium to go to the head of the list (for Derby tickets, it's worth it), I think I will take my chances and risk the $50.

http://www.courier-journal.com/artic...don-t-get-seat

Under the new system, fans can sign up
online at churchilldowns.com/tickets to
start the process.

On Nov. 7 they will receive an email
including a seating-preference request
form. Applicants can list up to 10 locations
in order of preference. In addition, they
can agree to pay 20 percent more for the
tickets in order to go to the head of the
line.

Everyone applying must provide a $100
deposit via credit card with a deadline of
Nov. 20. Of that, $50 will be credited
toward the cost of the seats if a person
gets tickets. The other $50 goes toward
the administrative fee.

For those who don’t get tickets, $50 will be
refunded.

Everyone who wants to gamble on actually getting a seat should challenge the charge on their VISA. At a minimum it will give CDI a lot of headaches when their are thousands of investigations going on, and it might make VISA more hostile toward CDI and put pressure on them to curb this nonsense.

After all, isn't the time interval of when they "were not successful" up for dispute? If I gave $100 to get a ticket, I don't want them giving up the search for my ticket until the day before the Derby.
