Rangers (and Knicks) screwed a lot of people when MSG was renovated. Jets and Giants screwed a lot of people when they moved to the Meadowlands. What the Islanders did here was a bit different since they didn't announce anything until after everyone committed to their locations in Barclays (at least that's my understanding).

I agree that what the Isles did was worse for that reason. I wonder if anyone tried to get their money back and what the response was. I suspect they just returned the money; I am looking at my original agreement and it was for the Barc only so I think they would be embarrassed to be sued by anyone who renewed before the Nassau games were announced and wanted their money back.
Sued? All you have to do is simply ask them for your money back and they'll gladly give it to you. They told me as much yesterday. No reason to sue. The Nassau seats are far more valuable than the Barclays one. They'll happily convert your full season to a Barclays only package. While it is a little unusual that they switched the location of half the team's games after they locked in your STH deposit/agreement, they'll pretty much do whatever you want to fix it. I'm sure you can bail on the entire season if you push hard enough.

Seems like the Isles changed the way they give out credits from seniority based to location/plan based.
Didn't we get a lot more credit to start out last year? I thought i had over $2k in credit. Maybe I'm mis-remembering though.Seems like the Isles changed the way they give out credits from seniority based to location/plan based.
Edit (2 seconds later)....I just realized that its $800 per seat. That makes a big difference there.
I just spoke to my rep. There will be Legacy credits for seniority again this season in addition to what was described in that email.

Part of me misses the 7 dollar tickets, to sit practically anywhere cause it was empty AND free Chipotle across the street after the game......
But then I realize I'm an 'adult' now and would like my team to be as well.

Pretty sure I saw $6 tickets on STubhub many times last year. That's like 1 better than $7 (not factoring in the fees of course).
Does anyone know when we can start using the credit they gave us for extra games or when the portal will be turned on?

Are they issuing lanyards this season or will I have to pull out my phone every time I go back to my seat after getting a beer or using the bathroom?

What they did to me was,I have section 203 row 11 in Nassau and then they gave me the last row at Barclays ,they claim it’s same ticket value ...so I went on Ticketmaster and seen the price for those horrible seats were$16 and yet they claim they were the same as $65 seats at the Coliseum.
They promised me all sorts of tickets for the draft,blue white game,meet and greets ,even free tickets to a coliseum event, never received any of those...when I contacted them and told them how disappointed I was I never received a response!
Will never purchase a ticket from the Islanders again,love the team but the con job they pull is a disgrace!

If you ever want to purchase from me, let me know. I am not the Isles.
On a serious note, when you go on Ticketmaster, those prices chance constantly. You should check the chart on the website with the color codes.

This.
Nothing pisses me off more than "Woah woah woah. SIR! MAY I SEE YOUR TICKET!"
Uhhh yeah, you did, three f***ing times already.

Honestly, Barclays is going to be so empty this year that the ushers will probably be able to remember ever single person sitting in their section.
Does anyone have a link to the schedule in spreadsheet form (or a suggestion to easily download it)? I think someone sent it to me last year and it was really helpful.
I asked my rep that last week. She said late September (obviously not) or early October. An email will go out.
Been told that it should be functional today and we should get an email about it. We'll see if that comes to fruition but that's the word on the street.

I just got an email for complimentary tickets to the opener on Saturday. I guess renewals are down.
