“It really is impressive to see so many local teams donate items to help raise money for the hurricane relief efforts,” Islanders General Manager and President of the Islanders Children’s Foundation Garth Snow said. “The rivalries that so many of the donating teams have, go on the back-burner in situations like this because it’s not only Islanders fans that were affected, it’s all New Yorkers.”
There are numerous packages that allow fans to bid on special experiences with their favorite entertainer or team. Carrie Underwood, Country Music’s Favorite Female Artist, will offer an exclusive meet and greet to the fans that purchase any one of the three suite ticket packages provided by SMG for her show on November 30 at Nassau Coliseum. Bid on the chance to attend the New York Mets VIP experience, which gets you on the field during batting practice.
The Islanders are offering several game-night experiences, including the chance to serve as the Equipment Manager’s assistant, exclusive seats to watch the game with General Manager Garth Snow, VIP access to high-five the Islanders as they take the ice and the media experience to sit behind MSG broadcasters Howie Rose and Butch Goring during a future Islanders game.
If you’re looking to attend upcoming concerts, sporting events or family shows, fans can bid on tickets to the Brooklyn Nets, college basketball, Disney on Ice or the WWE. The WWE show, TLC, on December 16 at Barclays Center, is one of their 12 pay-per-view events. Disney on Ice will have six shows at Barclays Center where fans can bid on suite tickets to take in the exciting family entertainment.
There is also memorabilia, including a signed lineup card from Super Bowl XLVI by Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning, a jersey signed by New York Islanders center John Tavares and a limited edition Brooklyn Nets JAY Z jersey.
