I was surprised, to say the least. If I wanted a refund credited to my charge card, I’d have to apply for it within seven days of the final game of the series. No problem there. But the $20 “order-processing fee” was another matter. This fee amounted to half the price of the ticket, in the cheap seats where I had a chance of sitting. And it was not refundable, even if the game never happened!That is outrageous. Anyone else run into this problem?
Now that was a problem.
“Are you kidding?” I asked a telephone service representative for the Phillies. “How can you justify a charging a fee if the game wasn’t played?
“We have nothing to do with it,” the rep said. “Major League Baseball makes us do it. The money goes to them.”

I don't know if it went to MLB, the ticket vendor, or the Cardinals, but I had this happen 6 years ago. I had 8 tickets each for Games 6 and 7 of the NLCS in St Louis against the Giants. The Giants won in 5, so neither game was played. I don't remember the exact figure, but I ate well over $100 after all was said and done.
Jeez, who is MLB getting it's advice from Manny Ramirez and Scott Boras? This is a case of who can be the most greedy.
