Nets Want to Ease Gas Pains
Nets Daily
It appears that the carbon-neutrality the Nets were so intent on promoting in April was just another publicity stunt. Now it's all about helping season-ticket holders fill up their SUVs.
As everyone who has ever taken Exit 16W knows, it’s hard to see the Nets without driving. And as everyone who drives knows, gas costs $4.00 a gallon. So the Nets are setting aside more than $250,000 worth of free gas for new season ticket holders. Brett Yormark says anyone who commits to buying season tickets from now through June 26―the NBA Draft– will get back 10 percent of the ticket purchase in gas cards.
Best Nets Daily poster comment: "If anything they should provide free metro cards or nj transit stuff if they want NJ fans to stay nets fans come that magical time when unicorns jump over rainbows and the barclays center opens."
NoLandGrab: Let's see, if Jay-Z plunks down $540,000 for a Barclays Center "bunker" suite, he'll get back a $54,000 gas card, which will allow him to fill up his Jay-Z-edition GM Denali, um, a few times.
