Three reporters to rewrite a press release?
The Barclays Center is offering luxury — at a discount.
The new Brooklyn arena has created an entire loge section featuring box seats with unlimited grub, access to the exclusive 40/40 Club and a separate arena entrance for $165 per game.
That comes to $29,040 for four season tickets.
That’s a steep contrast to the Manhattan prices at Madison Square Garden, where similarly situated premium seats — without waiter service or special VIP entrance — go for up to $580,000 for the season.
And spots in top luxury boxes sell for an estimated $1 million for the Knicks season.
...“This is a way for fans to get in at a lower price point and for them to move seats that they haven’t been able to sell,” Flaherty said.
...Still, not everyone can afford the discounted rate.
NoLandGrab: No sh*t, Sherlock. $29,000 for four seats is close to Brooklyn's median annual household income. "Discounted?"
