Eldora will there be two Dream races next year?

[STRONGERTHANDIRT]

Don't the tickets say no refunds?

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'.

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.

I’ve received refunds from Farmer City WOO and Lasalle.

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.

That’s why Eldora and Tony say The Dream is postponed instead of canceled, I guess they think people are stupid which unfortunately is true in a lot of cases.

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

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

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?

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.

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