All Hands On Deck - #OnePirateNation

Pirate Nation:
 
We hope you are staying safe and healthy during these unprecedented times. I am writing you today to inform you of a new initiative we are implementing and to announce our priority deadline for football season tickets has been moved to June 10.
 
The All Hands on Deck – #OnePirateNation initiative is about uniting Pirate fans across the country. East Carolina University is a special place and the Pirates brand is mighty. When you come to our campus, visit our community or attend one of our athletic events, you quickly notice the power of the Pirates. It's a family and it stretches from generation to generation.
 
We are all enduring a complicated time right now and it's imperative that Pirates unite to give each other a helping hand. We are committed to providing flexible options concerning season tickets and Pirate Club memberships. This initiative is about working together as #OnePirateNation.

The All Hands on Deck – #OnePirateNation initiative will feature the hashtag, #OnePirateNation, and a wide variety of content on a dedicated webpage and on numerous social media athletics platforms to highlight Pirate Nation. We want to hear from Pirate fans of all ages and share stories of what Pirate Nation means to you. Please send us your photos or videos – past or present - via social media and include #OnePirateNation so we can feature your memories, messages and thoughts for all Pirates to enjoy on our official athletics pages.
 
Content will include:

Earlier this month, the priority deadline for season tickets was postponed. Our staff has been working to adjust timelines and offer flexibility to supporters as COVID-19 continues to evolve. The priority deadline for football season tickets has been moved to June 10.
 
All payment plans remain intact and we understand the hardships that have resulted from the coronavirus pandemic.
 
We have received numerous inquiries about the status of the 2020 football season. Our department is moving forward with the plan that football will be played this fall in Greenville. When the season kicks off at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium this year, we will take the necessary steps to provide a safe environment. Our priority will always be the well-being of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and fans. Full refunds will be given in the event football is not played.
 
Several incentives are offered for fans to renew prior to the deadline. Anyone who has already purchased season tickets will automatically be entered into the drawing. If any dates change, the prizes will be adjusted.
 
Fans who order by the dates below will be eligible to win unique experiences such as:

All Pirate Club members who renew by the priority deadline will receive incentives in additional priority points:
