Foul! Nets pitch tickets to leader of B'klyn arena opposition
The Brooklyn Blog [NYPost.com]

He’s likely the last person on Earth who’d buy Nets tickets, but that didn’t stop the club from attempting a full-court press to sell him season passes at its new Brooklyn arena.
Daniel Goldstein – yes, the same guy considered the public face of the opposition movement against the under-construction Barclays Center and the rest of the embattled Atlantic Yards project – got a shocking e-mail yesterday from the Nets marketing department.
Dubbed, “Exclusive Brooklyn Opportunity,” the email asks the co-founder of the Atlantic Yards opposition group Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn to consider buying season passes for some of 4,000 "All-Access" premium seats now on sale for the 18,000-seat arena.
Obviously, the marketing employee who sent the email had no clue who Goldstein is.
...“I once had a prime spot right there without buying tickets, but they took that away from me. Besides, I like the Knicks,” Goldstein told the Post.
