This offseason, VCU Athletics sold out of men’s basketball season tickets for the 2012-13 season. The problem: VCU Athletics still hasn’t received the shipment from the printers. Just one week away from the first tipoff, season ticket holders aren’t holding tickets.

On Wednesday afternoon, the athletics department sent out a brief email explaining the situation:

As of Wednesday afternoon, the VCU Athletic Department has not received the season ticket shipment from the printing vendor. The Ticket Office is and will be in continuous communication with the vendor regarding the expected shipment date. Currently, shipment is expected by the end of the week. When confirmation of delivery to VCU is received from the vendor, you will receive an email from the Ticket Office on the status of the season ticket delivery.

Please be assured that every effort will continue to be made to get your tickets in your hands prior to Thursday’s exhibition game.
