NFL to offer full refunds on tickets if lockout cancels games in 2011

NEW YORK (AP) -- The NFL will offer full refunds to fans with general admission tickets if games are canceled next season because of a lockout.

The league said Tuesday each team would determine its policies for club seats, suites and payments for personal seat licenses.

Season ticket holders can choose to receive a refund or credits toward future games. Fans with individual game tickets can receive a refund or exchange the tickets for future games, with some restrictions. Refunds will be paid within 30 days after the NFL determines how many games will be played in 2011.

Commissioner Roger Goodell says "we all want football without interruption, but our fans are entitled to know now that they would receive refunds if any games are canceled."

1. Classic PR move to make the owners

the good guys and the players the bad guys. Don't fall for it. It's the players who have shortened life expectancy.

2. Well, duh -- especially since they may not have a choice.

Case in point: Ozzy Osbourne announced that he was going to take a short leave from the Ozzfest tour to be at his wife's side while she was undergoing surgery, and gave the band playing in front of him headliner status. But when they learned they would have to give refunds to anyone who wanted one, Mrs. Osbourne suddenly decided she could recover without him!
