Can't find the American sports thread

Habs next. Call me fair weather but it's getting interesting now..

So, a bit Tottenham?

Gave up my Jets season tickets after last season in utter disgust at the United States, the New York Jets specifically, and in particular their owner Woody Johnson.

Just booked a trip to go watch week 1 vs Pittsburgh.

I'm at the Met Life Monday night to see Oasis. I assume you drive there normally, but any info on getting train back to Manhattan post gig gratefully received.

Dead easy. There's a spur line on the south side of the stadium (I forget which gate it's next to) which goes directly to Secaucus Junction, then you just go one stop from there to Penn. It's pretty efficient.

Edit: Metlife or Verizon Gates.

Thanks. We enter via Verizon gate (we are in section 236 which looks decent) so that sounds perfect.

Has anyone bought tickets for an NBA game at the Garden? If so, are they fairly easy to get hold of on a one-off basis and how far in advance do they go on sale?

I assume you mean Madison Square (NYC) rather than TD (Boston). You can always get tickets for the Knicks or Rangers, but you will pay a fortune for them. There's a lottery for single game tickets and I don't even know if you can register for them overseas, but I would look into it right now. Both teams are almost exclusively sold to ST holders though, so you'll likely be buying on secondary markets like StubHub and you'll pay a premium.

Thank you and, yes, I did mean NYC. Going to watch an NBA game has been on my bucket list for a while and we might be in New York on the evening they play the Celtics, but it's just occured to me that's a fairly local fixture and therefore I'd imagine tickets are even harder to come by.

Locality is less important than it being a rivalry game in the most expensive city in the country between two teams who are currently good.

Give the lottery a go though. Can't hurt.

I've been and I think the MSG website does resale at face value or thereabouts

Also if you just want to see NBA look at Brooklyn , it's quick to get from Manhattan to Brooklyn Centre.

I can see seats available on StubHub, but have never used this site before. Anyone got any experience of using this company?

I don't mind paying the best part of £300 for tickets but would need to be reassured I was not going to get fleeced.

Stubhub is 100% legit, it's by far the biggest resale site in NA and you can absolutely buy with confidence on there.

Jordan Love is actually really likeable, he comes across as an entirely decent and well adjusted guy. I'm sure the Packers will turn him into a bellend eventually as they managed to with their last two quarterbacks, but for now you're good.

That reminds me, I really should change my avatar.

As a point of general principle I don't like the NFL playing international games, but I do love having football at 9:30 in the morning.
