Barclays Center Islanders vs Devils Game

I'm pretty mad they won't show this game on TV. It's the first ever game at Barclays (Even if it's just a pre season game) can't they air it? I'm just pissed we don't get any televised preseason games other than that first one against the Rangers on Monday.

Is anyone planning on going to this? If so wanna do a bar crawl or meet up or whatever?

My flight lands at JFK at 4pm that day. Hopefully can get the hotel squared up and get to the arena by 6. Planning on dragging my cousin and a couple other friends to the game. I haven't gotten tickets yet; Currently playing chicken with the prices on StubHub. Seemed like they ran out of most of the cheap seats on Ticketmaster.
 
Me and my bud will be there, interested in seeing the layout.

Tickets aren't cheap though, $100 for a non-obstructed pair on Stubhub right now. Maybe prices will go down though as we get closer.

They have obstructed view seats in a brand new arena? What the hell?
 
I love going to pre-season games it is the usually the earliest and sometimes only opportunity you'll get to see some of the young players.

I love going to NCAA games for the same reason.

Wasn't designed with hockey in mind.

When Barclays was initially being constructed under the design of architect Frank Gehry, the arena considered whether to make it a basketball-only facility or a dual basketball-hockey facility. After Gehry was removed from the job for driving costs higher the arena had to make a decision on how to continue. Given that at the time the Islanders looked like a long shot to head to Brooklyn – this was in 2009 – the arena moved forward with construction as a basketball-only facility. Now that the Islanders have bolted for Brooklyn, the arena is being retrofit for hockey.

I got to meet and get an autograph from Scott Gomez right before his rookie year started because I went to a preseason game. It may not be as fond a memory these days, but it was up until he left.
 
Myself and about 20 other Devil's fans are meeting at 4th Ave Pub before the game.

It's 2 blocks from Barclay's, has 27 draft lines, and is Devil's fan owned and operated.

:handclap:
 
I'm trying to go but stubhub is too expensive right now. I'll wait for them to drop in price before I buy.
 
Yeah $50 is a 'bit' pricey for a preseason game. I'd rather go to a regular-season Nets game for a little more if I wanted to tour Barclays and I'm not even that interested in basketball lmao.
 
Ice put in at Barclays. Islanders practice there tomorrow

I took a second look at Ticketmaster and I'm tempted to gamble on an obstructed view seat. Section 105 is $48.40 per seat. Section 228 is $19.85 per seat.

Haven't been to Barclays Center before.......how tough are the ushers? Figured if the view was that bad, you could probably move over to a different section eventually.
 
Judging from ticketmaster, the $19 seats are gone. $25 seats are popping up though. Might take one of those if stubhub prices don't drop.

Ushers are very strict. If you stop for a second at the wheelchair platform, they'll ask you to leave right away
