I returned home from the baseball game Tuesday evening to find an email from VAF indicating that because my annual pledge for 2015 had been reduced, I might not be able to maintain my seats for my football season tickets. I was instructed that I must contact VAF no later than Wednesday in order to be assured of keeping my seats. I had not reduced my 2015 pledge, so I was befuddled. For the past several years I have paid 20% of my pledge each month from January through May, and I had already received acknowledgement of my first four payments from VAF this year..
I called the person from whom I had received the email and got a message that he was out of state. I left a message, and he did return my call. I explained the situation, and he stated that since he was away from his computer, he did not know why I had been flagged but advised that he would take care of it.
I am a graduate of UVA and have been a VAF donor for about 30 years. I have had football season tickets for about 25 years, and I have had basketball season tickets since JPJ opened. This situation would have been unfortunate under any circumstances, but at a time when UVA is begging people to purchase football season tickets, such action is incomprehensible.
