Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois

Season tickets

I have been in a season ticket partnership with three other individuals for the last five years. We have been partners since the inception of the season ticket purchase. Unfortunately all four tickets are in one person�s name in which the partnership reimburses after each purchase from year to year. We do not have any written rules or contract, just emails stating our intention to form a ticket partnership. The person who has the tickets in his name has decided to keep all the tickets for himself this year, at which point there is a 30,000 long waiting list for new season tickets. Do we have any recourse as partners without a written contract or terms?

Re: Season tickets

I agree with Mr. Bleiweiss regarding emails and oral contracts. Get your documentation together such as cancelled checks. emails, etc. and contact him. If you can establish a definite pattern and practice that shows that the tickets were merely in his name, you have a pretty good case.

good luck

Re: Season tickets

Your e-mails could be sufficient to form a written contract. You have not told me enough in your message to determine that. If not, oral contracts are also enforceable. The difficulty often is proving the terms of the oral contract. I would have to see the e-mails and discuss the history of this partnership to advise you further.
