Last Friday, Kelly Dwyer hipped you to the Phoenix Suns’ plans to issue their fans refunds if they did not have a satisfactory amount of fun at one of their games. It was a bold move, and also a smart one — the Suns received lots of press via the internet, TV, and various other media outlets.
On Thursday night, the Suns played that game, losing to the Dallas Mavericks 97-94 in front a sellout crowd at US Airways Center (though, as Shaquille O’Neal pointed out on TNT, there were some empty seats). But should fans demand a refund? Did they leave satisfied? If they weren’t, all they have to do is fill out a form at the team’s website and mail their ticket stub to the team offices.
