Change in the "Never a Wasted Ticket" Policy
The Peoria Chiefs have announced a change in their never a wasted ticket policy for season ticket package holders. Effective immediately, ticket package holders may exchange unused tickets for any regular season home game, for no cost. There will be no exchange fee of $3 for Thursday through Sunday games.
The exchanges may be done for any regular season game during the 2005 season - so this excludes any playoff games.
The exchange, to be done at the O'Brien Field box office, will be for a seat of like value, and is subject to availability.
