Tickets have sold quickly at both the Islanders’ present and future homes.
More than 90% of season tickets at the under-construction UBS Arena at Belmont Park including the entire upper bowl — have sold out, the team announced on Thursday. The $1 billion, state-of-the-art building, targeted to open in November, will have a capacity of 17,113 for hockey.
"Our plan was always to sell out the season tickets and start a waiting list," said Mike Cosentino, the Islanders senior vice president of ticketing. "We’re doing it faster and earlier than we expected. It’s really been such an incredible response since going on sale last year.
