Eldora will there be two Dream races next year?

[JayD]

Tony is The Dream rescheduled or was it canceled, will the 2020 race be run next year along with the 2021 Dream? If not that means it was canceled. If there will not be two Dreams next year you should refund tickets to everyone rather than offering exchanges for future events. Inquiring minds want to know.

You really need to read things clearer the ticket you have for this year are good for next year

[JayD]

You really need to read things clearer the ticket you have for this year are good for next yearYes I know that, you should also read my post clearer. If there will be two dreams next year that’s fine if there will only be one then he needs to refund the fans.

[Roundtown21]

The 26th Dream which was scheduled for this year will be run in 2021. I highly doubt they run two 125k races in June next year.

Eldora never issues refunds that way they guarantee have your $ so you come back. That's why I rarely reserve anything with them. Only time is closer to time.

[RiffRaf67]

This years Dream isnt canceled, next years is. The Big E HATES to refund money.

[Pennsboro32]

No, there's not going to be two dreams next year.

[t4g2]

Then it's canceled but they put rescheduled that way they don't have to issue refunds. I know one year I had to make 3 trips over just to get the race in as it kept raining out.

[Trax53]

They will hold your money a year and draw interest on it.

[Phatdaddy]

They will hold your money a year and draw interest on it.

HAHA... I was thinking the same. Tony's accountant is looking into a couple high yield funds

[Waldo]

I have never been to a dirt track in my life that refunds money. Been going over 30 years.

[WisWildManFan]

Moved my tickets to world weekend over the phone.

[t4g2]

Waldo apparently you never been to a rain out or bought reserved seats or bought advanced tickets through woo as I been going many years to and unfortunately things happen. Even fairbury issues/ gives options on refunds if they have to cancel pdc this year. Eldora is the only track I've been to that never does refund. I've took loses on money over the years because of it. That's why I refuse to do anything reserved with them.

[jwel]

I am learning the hard way about Eldora. I have been refunded several tickets this year because of Covid 19 and the fact that I am old. Eldora doesn't give a darn about the special factors involved in 2020. I will never reserve seats there again either and as a result probably won't go because it is impossible to get a decent seat there when you show up on race weekend because the pits in the infield partially block the view from most places.

[RiffRaf67]

They will keep you there til 6am if they have to, to avoid refunds. That gets rougher to deal with the older you get.
When I was younger, heck yeah, put the coffee on and lets get the show in, I was all for it. That gets a little rougher when your stamina aint what it used to be.

[STRONGERTHANDIRT]

Don't the tickets say no refunds?

[dirtracer12m]

This board used to be so fun to read. Now it's a big pile of junk with nonstop complaining.

Have you actually called Eldora yourself to inquire about a refund jwel or are you just going off a past experience? I find it hard to believe they wouldn't work with certain folks on an individual basis if they are considered high risk during a time like this.

Heres my thoughts ont he whole process. My guess is every major dirt track event that gets lost to covid this year will do this exact same thing. I would guess you get charged a penalty or fee through your bank or ticket processor for every time you do a refund. Then you'd get charge yet another credit card fee next year when you have to process a new payment. Then more money spent on envelopes and stamps to mail again. Doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out why they 'rescheduled' it instead of 'canceled'.

That's the way of the world today. Everybody is looking for something to complain about, a feel sorry for me card.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Yes- I just looked at my tickets- on the front “no refunds/exchanges”
I don’t understand the big fuss- the way I look at it- next years Dream tickets are already paid for!!
If I financially needed my $$ back- I shouldn’t have been going to start with!

[dirtracer12m]

And before anyone chimes in and says "well its not your money", yes it is. I have Dream tickets and I'm in the same boat. It'd be great to get a few hundred bucks back. But at the end of the day if I get a refund on the tickets I'll be turning around and giving it right back to Eldora in 6 months for renewals. So is this even that big of a deal? If you're one that's complained about it then one of two things is true: 1)you are in a situation where cash is very tight and you need your ticket money back to make it through these next few months before you give it back to Eldora in November. Or 2)you are the person that sucks all the fun out of the room at parties

[t4g2]

Not everybody goes to eldora every year. Its just on their bucket list and have several other races and tracks they want to attend.

[DLC]

Moved my tickets to world weekend over the phone.

Unfortunately Now the tickets you had will go back open to public next year.

Sad they do it that way.

[t4g2]

For this case its a VERY VALID complaint. For me ill take the lose on my camp spot and or try to resale it closer to time next year. As i do alot of traveling and just depends on the dates next year and my trade show schedule for the business if it matches up or not if i can go or will go.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

That part of their policy is a valid complaint. I guess it’s a way to keep the ticket sales up for next year?
T4g2- you are right-not everygoes every year, but there are ways/means to sale the tickets. It’s been so long ago- I can’t remember when the original Million was rained out & rescheduled for the Dream week the following year: but I am quite sure Earl didn’t give refunds for that race. But again- I have slept since then!

[t4g2]

And what will eldora do if the world doesnt happen will you move your tickets back to the dream?

[JayD]

This board used to be so fun to read. Now it's a big pile of junk with nonstop complaining.I’ve been on this board since practically day one well over 25 years ago, been through different owners board changes and user names, it’s always been a long pile of junk with nonstop complaining....lol. The difference is social media has taken over news, race results etc.

[fryefan]

It seems to me that some of you need to read the "terms of service" before you buy tickets in the future.

[foxfire2dirtracing]

Frye fan-you are exactly correct!

[WisWildManFan]

Unfortunately Now the tickets you had will go back open to public next year. Sad they do it that way.Yea not a big deal for me first time I’ve ever bought advanced tickets there, was worried about a limited crowd.

[Waldo]

t4g2, I have been going to Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney S.C. since 1988. They have NEVER gave refunds For anything, ever. They now have been running WOO for the last several years. If that policy has changed, I don't know about it. Over that amount of years I have probably been to around 100 races at that one track that have gotten rained out. NOT 1 REFUND.

[STRONGERTHANDIRT]

Pretty sure NASCAR doesn't give refunds if a race is unable to be ran.

[buster83]

no,no,and no

[NeedforLMspeed]

There's a couple times where I've been to a track and they say they are racing all the way up to the start time. Weather looks like it could be an issue. It's 50/50. Ends up raining. They cancel and they would refund it at the pit gate. I'm guessing since they never even started the event, not even hot laps is why.
