The Nets have emailed their season-ticket holders a refund policy that includes a 20 percent matching contribution by team owner Joe Tsai.
According to a person familiar with the situation, the Nets began emailing their fans last week, around the time the NBA’s Board of Governors voted to restart the season in Orlando with 22 teams and without fans in late July.
Though the seventh-seeded Nets are part of the restart, there will be no more games at the Barclays Center until the 2020-21 season opener in December.
According to the email, the Nets are offering a full refund on the final nine home games. However, if fans want to roll over their money for next season’s schedule of games when Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving will be healthy, Tsai has agreed to give a 20 percent bonus on the amount of the rollover.
The Nets are expected to be title contenders next season with a roster headed potentially by KD, Irving, Caris LeVert, DeAndre Jordan and Spencer Dinwiddie.
While the Knicks offered up their refunds four weeks ago, the Nets, according to an individual debriefed on the matter, gave refunds to any season-ticket holder who called amid the coronavirus pandemic to claim hardship.
Four weeks ago, the Knicks offered full refunds on the remaining Garden games and also added a gift for those who rolled over the funds into next season’s package. The Knicks offered up a food and beverage credit, MSG Store credit or an RJ Barrett “swingman” jersey.
