Fair? Or NOT? Had Iowa canceled the ticket order earlier, I'd have said FAIR. But to wait until the week of...cost the Illinois student group $6,000 to cancel charter busses...so I'd say NOT fair at that point, unless Iowa absorbs that loss.
Kilton Rauman, an Illinois senior and vice president of Illini Pride, the umbrella organization for Orange Krush ordered 200 tickets, calling Iowa in September to order discounted group tickets for “a Boys and Girls Club.”
Well, it worked until Wednesday. That's when Iowa notified Rauman the ticket barcodes would not scan and that a refund had been issued. Iowa declined to comment beyond its statement.
In retrospect, Rauman said, the Champaign mailing address attached to a large ticket order should have made Iowa suspicious before this week. Because of the late notice, he said, Orange Krush lost $6,000 having to cancel charter busses.
