But in this case there was no points requirement? To be honest, it will probably depend how many have been sold this morning. If not many they will (for practical reasons) no doubt honour the sales already made. It's the club's c*ck up, after all.
I think they will (legally) have to honour those sold....there's a contract of sale (can't remember all the legalities from my student days, but I can't see what legal reason the club would have for rescinding the sales already made)
