OT: Asking for a friend

[NYRfan11]

But probably not in the way you're thinking. I have a few Rangers fan friends, but every time the playoffs come around, no one is willing to pay playoff prices to go to any of the games. So instead of going alone, I'm wondering if anyone is in the same boat. I'm 35, been a diehard since '95 when I was 7, and plan to be loud for the playoffs (in case that bothers anyone). Live in Bergen County now, though spent most of my life in the boroughs of NYC including BK. I don't have season tix (though I used to for six years) so plan to get tix on the secondary market. Who's in?

Also if anyone lives close by, open to hosting folks or vice versa for a playoff rendezvous.

Hope you find someone. That would b e great. Bunch of good guys here.
I'd love to, but quite expensive.....even though I owe my cousins a visit soon.
It's not like Rangers fans in NY, flying down to So. Fla., buying tickets and it still comes cheaper than a ticket at MSG. lol. Good luck!

A/S/L?

Sit alone if you have to. I've done it for playoff games, sometimes when I'm with friends and we can't get seats together or if the tickets are north of $500 or so. Regular season is one thing but at playoff games if you're a real fan everyone around you is your friend no matter where you sit.

I’ve gone to a game alone a couple of times and loved it, but I also am the type of guy who will go sit at the bar alone and have a blast, chatting to strangers and the bartender so I may not be the best barometer.

I’d say I’d always be down to meet up, but as others said tickets are just too expensive. Wife and I only did 2 home games this season because even regular season prices are prohibitive. I am moving to Bergen County on May 1st though. Maybe getting a few of our fans from that region to meet up at a pub for one of the playoff games is the move. I like The Shannon Rose. Watched Mika’s 5 goal game there.

Nice! I'm about a three minute drive from The Shannon Rose so see ya there. And yeah I may go it alone to playoff games if need be.

I'm in a similar situation. Would love to go to a playoff game or two next year
