Wow, that sucks.

Even worse is from what I can see in the email I still have to go into the city to get my tickets to be able to use them for the make up date, or am I reading this wrong?

The event on the new date may not be offering the same discounted tickets.

For those of you who want to hold onto the discount tickets that were offered and honored at the next event, we will be having ticket pickups at

145 W 44th Street, Millennium Broadway Hotel in the lobby restaurant:
Thursday, December 20, 2012 8:00AM - 7:00PM
Friday, December 21, 2012 8:00AM - 7:00PM
Saturday, December 22, 2012 8:00AM - 7:00PM

Hello all

First off sorry to those that bought tickets to the game. But take some solace in that it was a hurricane relief game. Working on either a reschedule date for which your tickets will obviously be honored or scraping it and refunding the money.
I'm not going to get into the politics but it was the dealings of a shady promoter that caused the wheels to fall off. Again sorry and if the game happens hope to see you all.
