OT: Severe Weather Discussion III

[Mr Misunderstood]

I lived through the 70s sonny.

70's and sunny?

 

[Chardo]

I went during a blizzard Habs vs Isles at the coliseum there was 3,000 people there maybe 2,500 were from Montreal all bussed in. It was like a habs home game it sucked I think we got blown out too.

And they invited everyone to move and take an open seat.

how magnamimous of them?


we used to move to open seats at shea and the garden in the 70s. the usher invited us after we slipped him a 5!

A “fin” back in the day. Doesn’t get you much now.

Starting price today is a double sawbuck.

those were the good old days. so much fun!

we cared less about getting into better seats and more that we were in our silly youthful minds "getting away with someting"

Yeah….and the good seats. That too.

I used to slip the usher a 5 to get me out of the place.

Save that for tomorrow’s game and you’ll need more than 5 bucks.

FYI, through someone I know who works at UBS (not at the Dippin' Dots stand unfortunately), they told me regarding tomorrow's game they won't cancel unless a State of Emergency is issued. However, I see on Twitter that Hochul issued one starting at 8 PM tonight, so I would lean towards an announcement being made on tomorrow's game this evening.

To add, LIRR is suspending all service in the early AM through the brunt of the storm tomorrow so I can't see how anyone is making it to the game. Not just the fans, but the necessary arena personnel etc

Thank you for the update. I have a group of 20 people heading to the game tomorrow on a bus for my Birthday. My ticket rep who has helped us every year won’t let us reschedule our group unless the game is cancelled. I get it but a little flexibility would be nice considering the danger traveling.

That is absolutely ridiculous. Your ticket rep sucks.

let's hope your ticket rep will be replaced by you and your group regardless of the outcome. these idiots work for you! say the words they need to hear and tell them you're gonna go in another direction from here on in and thanks.... FOR NOTHING!!

 

[cavs]

I agree. I’m done with this guy. The package came out to $2,784 and he seems to care less about losing us. I would think that would be a good commission to have every year.

 

[NYI365]

As expected

 

[TeamKidd]

Light snow breaking out across the island, will get steadier and heavier overnight. The real blizzard early tomorrow AM thru mid afternoon. I'd say we are looking at 1 to 2 feet from the nassau queens line to Montauk. Impressive development occurring right now over NC and VA

So since the game was cancelled and I am petty now I would message him directly and ask his recommendation on another ticket rep.

My wife set all this up. I just made her CC me on an email asking “do we get a refund since the game was rescheduled to Wednesday and we will not be able to attend”? She set all this up for me and put a lot of work into it, she asked me not to argue with the guy. I might have no choice depending on how he responds.

I don't know man. Almost 3k is probably worth a conversation if the guy doesn't want to play ball.

I have told such people in past that I or none of my friends and associates will ever use you again. Furthermore, when you are reading about your shifty service in the morning paper at the breakfast nook, I'll be calling the BBB and the local TV consumer affairs reporter.


My pettiness will cost you way more than you cost me and that is worth it since you can't do the right thing and do the right thing

I think there will be other options after I speak with him. Want to see how he responds to her before I say anything… like your style though lol

Update. Snowing here


That is all.

It's the Brooklyn in me, although I left in 1990, it's a mindset!.....I always try for diplomacy first but when they push me to that last degree....gloves off to keep it hockeyesque

They’re probably equally worried about bad press on social media so let them know you’re active on this board and other Isles centric outlets and you’d hate to bash them.

If that fails try to get a new rep and rat out the current one. You might need to use someone other than your wife as the point person if you’re setting up a new account.

Good luck.
