New York State to start allowing Some Attendance 2/23

[PK Cronin]

What's the deal for season ticket holders, do they get first dibs? Such an odd situation.

That’s what it looks like

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

What about the port-a-johns?

 

[MJF]

What about the port-a-johns?

STH’s get first dibs on those too.

Imagine tickets will be expensive considering the reduced capacity and the real last year at Nassau, no 1/2 price tickets with a 20 year old college ID or $6 last minute Stubhub tickets

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Maybe when I finally got my shots I'll go. Until then, definite pass.

Oh no. I was hoping you weren't that guy.

 

[seabass45]

Are they keeping the tarp on the lower bowl? That could play into the 10 percent number. If they're doing 10 percent of full capacity but lower bowl isn't taken up, the capacity of the rest of the arena would be closer to 20 percent. In any case, the cap should be raised as more people get vaccinated.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

It is other people I would want to be distanced from

The feeling is mutual.

 

[BrockLobster]

Thats not a PCR test that's a rapid test. As I understand there is something like a 50% false negative with those.

Oh the PCR is the brain tickler? Those are rough

 

[Strummergas]

Oh no. I was hoping you weren't that guy.

Not sure what you mean by "that guy" Richie? Maybe you meant "that guy who doesn't proofread"? Because apparently, yes, I'm that guy.

 

[Chardo]

As a 20 year season ticket holder, I can't count how many games I went to with only 1390 fans. Nostalgia.

 

[Nassau Revisited]

The PCR rule is really insane. A negative test <72 hours ago means absolutely nothing. It’s just a waste of tests and resources.

I can't see how spending money to allow 10% of capacity, at a building that loses money when sold seats are much higher than that, is going to be financially worth it - paying for additional arena maintenance, security, etc.

Keep in mind the current Coliseum lease holder stepped into Prokhorov's shoes and is operating the building only because Prokhorov defaulted on the loan.

It’s not, but it’s good something else for the person making this decision. Month over month the number will increase, well, just because 10% should be 20%, then maybe 35%, etc.

 

[Riseonfire]

I get my 2nd shot on Saturday and I still probably won't go. If I could just bring the vaccine card maybe, but eff getting tested for each game.

They are obviously going to have little staff, and I am assuming if the capacity is going to be only 1,300 or so they are going to make tickets expensive so like at at least $100 per ticket, considering they are all ready using the building making over $100,000 in revenue is better than nothing

Imagine being able to pee and go to concessions during a tv timeout without having to miss any action.

They'll have cardboard cutouts at 9 out of 10 urinals/stalls to maintain safety in the restrooms.

 

[FourRings]

I don't think I'll go until my wife is vaccinated. While I've gotten my doses, I'm still uncertain of transmission post-vax.

 

[IslesCLT]

I know you kid, but they had every other urinal taped off in the bathrooms at the stadium for this exact reason. Although with about 5K people in a stadium that seats 73K there wasn't much need. Pretty sure I had the bathroom to myself each time I went.

The thought of going to the bathroom at the coliseum without having to wait should be enough incentive for any Isles fan to want to go haha

 

[CupHolders]

Second shot of Moderna is as advertised. I was knocked out tired, chills and exhausted for close to two days. It’s not unbearable, but just plan to be useless for a day or two.

 

[The Lighthouse]

Interested to see how tickets will work - maybe the opportunities for season ticket holders to purchase will be spread among different games? Saw in the print edition of Newsday today that the STH will get the first choice.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Does anyone know if kissing random strangers on the mouth in the bathroom is prohibited? Asking for a friend.

For certain highway rest stations yes... among other things. As per a friend’s testimony.

 

[BrockLobster]

Nets are charging minimum $600 a seat. Obv we should be a little less.

 

[Satans Hockey]

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

Nets are also charging $200 just for the testing in addition to the cost of the tickets.

No chance in hell I'll ever go under these circumstances. f*** that.
