Just imagine if they sold 41,500 @ $294.00 = $12,201,000.00

I believe the  5 mil shortfall was from last season and this season's permit sales were not included in the shortfall figure. The OFSC needs this early sale income for startup expenses for the upcoming season.  District 5 which I think you are located in had early permit sales for this year that were a lot more than last year's early sales. I don't know the exact numbers.

Has anyone ever found out how many permits that the OFSC sell per season total? I found something that said this season they set an early season permit record with 41,500 permits sold. Now, what has me wondering is some math. At our club meeting, it was stated that the club had a $5mil funding shortfall for this coming season. Well, if they sold 41,000 permits at $180ea, that is $7.38mil. If they were that short of money, how in the heck did they get that far below the line of sustainability?

Good luck with the sale, Tim!

Should be no different than when you buy a 3 or 7 day permit - show proof and GTG. Plus, is there not a process that was or is normally communicated that if you ordered a seasonal pass and it does not arrive in time, do xyz so you can ride before it arrives.......I recall a few, or maybe many years ago when lots of permits were not showing up late this was a hot topic.
