NY to open sports venues at 10% starting in two weeks. Must have negative covid test. I would expect Jersey to follow up with an announcement soon.

Arenas can reopen in NY at 10% capacity starting February 23

Hard pass from me, would rather watch on tv than have to go get a test every time.

Maybe the new slogan can be... our whole team has it and now so can you, eNJoy the covid on the house

Same unless we’re getting reimbursed for the tests

That doesn't convey a positive belief in the available vaccines and those who have received both doses. Honestly, just because someone had a COVID test 3 days ago (or however many days) and it came back negative doesn't mean they aren't infected the day of the event. I'll stay home thank you.

 

[Jack Be Quick]

Getting my second dose tomorrow so I will definitely be in attendance if the team is decent and there will only be 1800 people there.

 

[Satans Hockey]

Saw this...

"We intend to host roughly 2,000 fans at every game, beginning with the February 23 Knicks game against the Warriors and the February 26 Rangers game against the Bruins."

 

[Jack Be Quick]

I'd say I'd go to the toilet for a devils game, but I imagine those tickets will be 1k plus.

I'm curious to see what the prices are in general but I had no desire to go to msg pre covid let alone during all this lol

 

[Davegarri]

I'll gladly go to the Rock for a game, I had my anti-bodies test back positive last week so I'm fairly confident in my immunity at this time. I'd love to see some live hockey right about now.

 

[Colin226]

I would jump at the opportunity to go to a game, especially given I have antibodies for some time. But I'd think the team will hold off for a bit especially given how many players have recently contracted it. While I find it hard to believe fans could spread it to the players during a game, it's better from a PR standpoint if they wait a few weeks until other local teams have "tested" this out.

 

[NJDevs26]

I was thinking that too, the fact the whole team is out with COVID right now would make it horrible optics to announce the return of fans in the building when we don’t even know when the team will play again. That may well be why NJ is delaying an announcement compared to NY

 

[NJDevs26]

And btw judging by the gouging on Nets ticket prices there probably aren’t going to be $50 or even $100 tickets available for us either, and you’ll likely have to buy a good chunk of games at markup. Teams are going to be their own scalpers this year with demand outnumbering supply.

What's going on with the Nets tickets?

I'm really not sure about our demand. I guess if the team keeps playing well but if the bottom falls out I can't imagine that many people are gonna think it's worth it to go out and get a negative test to see a bad team.

The need to get a test is what makes me unsure, like how many parents are really gonna take their kids to take a covid test just to take them to a game, certainly doesn't seem like it's worth the hassle for the average fan/family.

 

[NJDevs26]

According to Carton and Roberts (the latter of whom is a Net fan and would know) the get-in price for Net tickets START at $600 or so...obviously it's not gonna be that high for the Devils because we're not a title contender or a NY basketball team but they'll definitely be much higher than our normal 'too high' prices because of the lack of volume.

 

[SETHROLLINS]

I wouldn't worry about prices being too high for us. I've taken a look around the NHL and the pricing for teams currently with reduced fans doesn't seem to be too far off from normal times. They need to keep the STH engaged and throwing a bill at them for $200 single game tickets in less desirable locations isn't going to go over well when they haven't been in the building for a year. I have season tickets and I'm not interested in paying over $100 a ticket for a regular season game that'll have at best a pre-season like atmosphere. The reps are trained to sell the experience well if the ticket office is reading this and I'm sure they are, I don't think our fan base is going to be jumping at $100 plus tickets for a reduced experience.

We can't compare our situation to the Nets, they have three superstars and are trying to milk this window for every penny. Once they leave they'll be nothing again. So many better ways to spend $600.

 

[BigBlueAndRed]

Nets fans will be getting a bill for $200 to pay for two covid tests, one 72 hours in advance and one day of, which most insurance won't cover since it's voluntary testing.

Not a chance in hell I'll ever go under these circumstances. f*** that.

Yeah I'm out too if the Devils do that. Playoff game MAYBE, but definitely not for some regular season game

New York's Plan to Reopen Arenas Won't Come Cheap for Fans

Lmaooooo the Nets are charging $200 just for the covid test. Ticket not included. Buffalo Bills last month charged around $60 something. How many of you would pay the Devils another $100 a pop for a test not included with your ticket?

 

[Jack Be Quick]

No one is mentioning whether or not they'll be accepting insurance.

When I went to an urgent care facility for a rapid test over the holidays I asked guy with the clipboard outside if they accepted my insurance. Best he could tell me was "maybe, worst case you'll get a bill for $150 and you can send it to your provider for reimbursement."

I'm not sure but saw a few people saying that health insurance wouldn't cover this because it's not a health care professional ordering the test. Makes sense since this is a voluntary test to go to something that you don't need to be at.

Depends on your insurance, I believe. I’d have to check but I believe mine will cover whatever but they define it as “diagnostic” testing so I don’t know if that’s where they would quibble.

For example, Blue Cross Blue Shield says no:

COVID-19 - Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey

Regardless of where diagnostic testing is performed — in a health care setting or pharmacy, at a drive-up testing site or through a home test kit — testing must be ordered by a health care professional.
Any test for population screening (for example, back to school or return-to-work purposes) is not covered.

 

[Devils731]

For example, Blue Cross Blue Shield says no:

COVID-19 - Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey

My Aetna plan made no distinction nor requirement to be ordered. Just says all fees and copays are waived for diagnostic testing.

So it may be a mixed bag.

 

[Jack Be Quick]

For example, Blue Cross Blue Shield says no:

COVID-19 - Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey

So if you're trying to get back in the classroom or to work you're not covered? That's a disgrace.

I'm pretty sure that's not the case with Fidelis, but who knows at this point?

The United States and health care, always doing their best...

You sure about that? The Aetna website has similar language, although it says "generally" so maybe you have a premium plan that does cover it regardless.
