Lines are no problem whatsoever, but be sure to wear your skinny jeans.

That looks about the number of people there for an Isles game mid-week. Well dressed tho!

 

[BelovedIsles]

Can you still park at the Marriott for 10?

 

[Strummergas]

Does it matter? As long as the tickets are sold who gives a **** how much someone paid?

My point is, they felt the need to give incentives in order to sell out the first 3 home games. It's not about ticket price, it's about interest level. When there's a demand for tickets, teams don't have to give anything in order to sell them.

Will BMW Mike still be selling the primo tickets in between the blue lines for 20% of face still? If so, will his wife still be sitting disinterestedly in the car when you meet him at a gas station on the side of the LIE?

Check again. Using the Ticketmaster site and filtering out the verified resale seats there appears to be just a handful of box office tickets available as of 12:30 PM today.

Maybe they were released to BSE's own reseller. Who knows...

LOL. This morning there were a ton more. Now... you are correct, and most of what's left is "limited view." Good to see. A certain cretin on twitter has been making a thing about the game not selling out. Hate to give him any ammunition.

Unfortunately he would think that way and try to make a big deal of it regardless. There's no rational conversation to be had there.

Newest complaint:
Isles are the only team that has a smaller scoreboard than their AHL team.

What is that scoreboard doing in the center of the ice?! And why the hell are all of the seats facing the ice?!?!

I texted him months ago, asking if he'll have tix for the Coli games -- sadly -- no response!

Can I ask who this BMW mike guy is? Sounds like an interesting back story lol.

EDIT: Looked it up on the boards, Too funny! Although I've never noticed him!

I’ll be there, I have a pop up camping bathroom tent, and a five gallon bucket with a toilet seat for the ladies. It’s pretty classy lol

The interest level is there otherwise they wouldn’t be closing in on a sellout. The market had to correct itself because nobody wanted to pay BSE’s inflated prices without some perks.

I’m in the process of taking him down.

Can I send my wife over to your tent? She’s like Niagra Falls after her first beer.

If this is the Fan Central guy, you'll never get any sort of acknowledgement from him that he's wrong. The account is troll level and exists pretty much solely to rag on LI fans. Not to mention he seems unstable from day to day. But otherwise go for it!

No, he blocked me a few years ago. I mean his long haired sycophant.

Damn I miss this.

Ah yes, part of the "trio" lol.

 

[islesfan186]

So since this is now a NVMC 2.0, is tinsel hair's ban lifted?

Better question -- Has he showered yet?

 

[BMOK33]

Compton tweeted the horn at the coliseum won’t be a recording. I can’t imagine they’re transporting it back and forth so they must have gotten a second horn

 

[crasherino]

He's in my phone still as Islanders Mike. I used to try to explain to people how we'd get tickets and they never quite understood. "So....you just call this guy and you meet him somewhere in Queens or in the Coliseum parking lot and he has a stack of tickets about 3 inches thick and they're pretty much the best seats in the house for about $50....and he's driving a 7-series BMW? Yeah - that's pretty much it."

I just took a peek at the TM availability - there are 4 rows in Sect 224 that are limited viewing and still available (they may have just released them). I guess those are the modern day section 302 where you thought you were getting these low row center ice seats (which would otherwise be the best bang for your buck in the joint) and instead the camera guy in front of you blocked about 40% of the ice. Everyone made that mistake once.

Will be there tailgating and streaming the SEC championship. Got my skinny jeans.
