Fans could have tickets for games when a new schedule has an off day or the team is away instead of home. Not to mention against different opponents from what the fans expected to see when the tickets were bought. I think they would have to use the existing schedule from whatever point games were resumed.
As a STH, some info passed on from the Pirates. Those of us using their installment plan, the final installment will not be charged (it was going to be yesterday). They have to wait until MLB sets a schedule. At that point, they will rework and reprice STH packages. I have a half season weekend plan. If the season were to be delayed only two weeks, and pick up from there, my plan, I only miss three games. Depending on which package, a half season mid week plan could result in 6-8 games affected.
Individual game tickets will no doubt be treated in a similar way they did with Spring Training. People will be given an option of a refund, a credit to a future game, or exchange for a specific date.
When you think of the logistics of reworking a new schedule, there is no way MLB starts by mid April, unless they just go with "pick it up from here". Dates where teams are on the road are not necessarily available for a new, reworked home date, for instance, PNC Park has two August concerts that the Pirates won't be able to use the park.
