| Question: |
I separated my AC joint and tore a ligament at practice on Thursday... I won't be able to participate in this clinic but I already bought a ticket. Can I get a refund or if someone wants to buy my ticket can they go in my place? |
| Answer: |
Brown Paper Tickets can refund you and then I can sell the ticket to someone on the waitlist. or you can sell it to a friend. |

| Question: |
I sent an e-mail asking for a refund because I injured my shoulder but I have not yet received the refund. I am pretty sure I will be able to participate in the clinic so if I can keep my spot I would like to know if I am still a ticket-holder... thanks! |
| Answer: |
send me an email at getsomeathletics@gmail.com with your name and info and I will look to see if you are still an attendee. |
