This Just In: The Rich Are Different From You and Me
The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill]
by Gersh Kuntzman
Rapper Jay-Z only owns a minuscule portion of the Brooklyn-bound New Jersey Nets — but the influence of the millionaire rapper continues to be felt at the Barclays Center arena.
We just received a press release from arena officials touting “The Vault at Barclays Center,” a Jay-Z “inspired” clubhouse for well-to-do fans of the last-place team. It’s so perfectly worded that we present it here, unedited.

If you’ve got the money to splurge, each Vault suite owner will receive eight premium tickets in the first 10 rows of the lower bowl to all Barclays Center events, including Nets games, as well as boxing and concerts. The suites are also described in a release as having “sophisticated lounge seating,” and flat-screen TVs. Suite guests will have access to the Armand de Brignac Champagne Bar (whose bottles go for about $300).
