ticket charge less our 20 percent service charge, which is not
refundable. After May 15th, members who cancel can receive a refund of 80
percent of their total charge only if and when the Society is able to re-sell
their tickets. If the Society fails to re-sell the tickets, canceling
members must forfeit their whole charge.
