Alumni A-10 tournament events canceled
Amid growing concern about the spread of COVID-19 (also called novel coronavirus), VCU’s priority is the health and safety of each member of our Ram family. To that end, VCU events in New York City around the A-10 tournament are canceled. This includes:
– Thursday’s pregame reception at Barclays Center
– Thursday’s Ram Fan Fest at Ainsworth Chelsea
– Saturday’s Headshots and Happy Hour at Velvet Brooklyn
Tickets purchased to the pregame reception and the Headshots and Happy Hour event will be refunded by the VCU Office of Alumni Relations by March 20. VCU Athletics will still hold Friday’s “Today” event with Rodney the Ram if we win Thursday’s game. Please note, there is no official VCU fan headquarters for A-10 this year.
Game tickets
The tickets you purchased through the VCU Office of Alumni Relations for Thursday’s game are still good and can be picked up at the Barclays Center’s will call window one hour before the game. Please email Lauren Leavy (Cert.’19/GPA), senior coordinator of alumni engagement events, by 5 p.m. Tuesday to confirm the name your tickets should be under or to let her know if you are not coming to the game. We cannot refund your game ticket if you do not let us know you are not going to the game. VCU Alumni Relations will refund the cost of your game ticket purchased through our office by March 20.
