Does anyone sitting behind the netting want to collaborate on a letter to Patricof, et al?

[FredMertz]

The way this was handled is terrible. They have literally done nothing but crap on us since the E. Hartford game.

I sit in the champions seats and they sections have not been more than 1/3 full all season, even before the netting.

The seats cost about $133 per game and were almost impossible to resell BEFORE the netting when up.

The Legends folks are getting even more screwed.

 

[JGarrettLieb]

I wrote a very angry letter last night that I'm going to edit and send this afternoon. I do not pay a large amount of money to get a headache when I watch the game.

I encourage everyone who is effected to send a letter to NYCFC, I was speaking with one of the legends reps last night and if we can change the financial metrics enough with our complaints we can force NYCFC to pay the Yankees to install a pulley system.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

I’m in for any letter. Already sent a short email asking that the nets come down or my seats be moved or cancelled.

The only other person I know for sure is in the impact zone is Kjbert - get in here.

For better or worse I sit next to JGarrettLieb and the nets are a headache. The depth perception is totally off as my eyes are focusing in & out on the near-sighted net vs. far-sight gameplay. Plus, the view is definitely obstructed now because I have difficulty reading the opposing players last names.

Spoke to my section's waiter after the game for a few minutes. He stated that the Yankees fans complained about the previous method... many smaller poles spaced closer together which made it easier to take down netting. So the Yankees went ahead and put up the current monstrosity.

We play backseat to the Yankees and it sucks. They started construction on Legends while we were still in the playoffs 2 seasons ago. Yankees continue to do as they please.

Either get some engineer in here or the value proposition needs to be increased...

What will the club do if a majority of STHs start moving to the SS (or at least the 200s) just as placeholders for the SSS? They could buy their seats back at a discount the day of a match, if they attend and want to deal with the net.

Btw, I can't believe you copied my transfers to stay a few points ahead yesterday. It's not like I'm not a terrible player to begin with.

The only weekend transfer I made was Garza for Parkhurst and that netted me -3.

Then did I copy you? Because that’s a piss poor strategy from behind

 

[Jack]

adam Not sure if you saw the comparison from the start, our teams were very similar. I think we were just on the same page with overloading home games: LAFC & NYCFC.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

My customer support rep emailed and said they would offer relocation.

Which is pretty fucking worthless that as a day 1 depositor with very high selection priority, I am supposed to take it on the chin and get moved. It’s literally 35% or more of all level 100 STHs.

Where will they move me? Do I still get my aisles? Are they going to kick someone out for me to get a decent seat? None of that sounds very fair.

They should sack it up and pay to fix the damn problem.

I’m just going to drop those 2 I think. Frankly, the people in that section suck anyway.

Come out to 103. It’s cheaper and the managers can hear you complain.

There aren’t any decent seats available out there or I would.

Ask JGarrettLieb politely, I'm sure he'll share

He already got moved to 103? Gtfo.

If he moved, how’s he gonna eat 10lbs of King Crab before every match - won’t he have to give up his Legends pass? Or the reps are moving people and they pay the same price as old tix with whatever benefits were attached?

I wonder if the club will offer to bump me like an airline. I wonder what I’d accept to give up my seats to a Legends member...

I can’t help this cause, but I recently sat on the first base line at AT&T Park in San Francisco and having to watch through the netting was HORRIBLE. It’s so hard to focus. Good luck dudes.

 

[ferrarinycfc]

Anyone have a photo of what it looks like from behind the netting ?

It's like watching the game through a screen door. Or like staring at the hypnokit for 90 minutes.

I didn't create this petition, but did sign and share. I am not affected by the nets, but feel for those of you who are.

[DeGrozz]

The nets were really frustrating to deal with. It sucks because, as others have said, I deposited very early to be able to pick the exact seats I have. Now we have to put up at least one season with an awkward view through nets that makes the games significantly less enjoyable to watch...
