What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
As you may or may not be aware, the NHL is currently in a lock-out, with seemingly no end in sight. I purchased a half-season ticket package for an NHL team through a supporters group, who has a large quantity of seats together. Essentially, the group buys approximately 30 season tickets, and then sells those off to individuals in the group in full, half, quarter and individual game season tickets, so the actual season tickets are not in my name, but the groups.
In light of the lock-out, I was asked wether or not I would like my money refunded to me, or if I would like to keep my money in the group, and receive a 4% credit towards next season (which is offered through the team). I immediately requested my money back. The following day it was brought to my attention that since all of the tickets are in "one" name (the group's), the entire group got to vote collectively what to do with the money, and they "voted" to keep the money with the team.
The (probably) unfortunate part of this story is that I really didn't sign any sort of contract, other than them telling me (verbally) that I would pay x dollars each month and receive x games, and I signed the tablet that I swiped my credit card on for paypal (all of the payments since the first one have been billed and sent through Paypal).
What legal standing do I have to demand my money back if the games all get cancelled? Would trying to get a refund through PayPal be an option?
Thanks in advance!
