Definitely call and ask what options they can offer w/ the price drop; getting $250 back per ticket should be one of the options.
Likewise, I have had them recently wave the $50 fee and received full refund. This is not that uncommon a scenario. I had the price drop massive on a TATL and got a big refund and rebooked, I think that time they DID hit me with the $50 fee.
