Barclays Center releases September 2021 event calendar: four events (and a reminder about job openings)

The Barclays Center on Sept. 2 circulated its September 2021 event calendar, which involves four events: the MTV Video Music Awards (which necessitates street and sidewalk closures on and before Sept. 12), one New York Liberty game, one concert, and one comedy show.

Presumably this will be an opportunity to get arena procedures up and running in the COVID era, since October and beyond will be busier.

Another message: we're hiring

The arena's Leah Lawrence also reminded neighborhood recipients that there are jobs available at the arena:

Barclays Center is currently hiring for a variety of roles and vaccinated individuals are encouraged to apply. To further help encourage vaccinations against COVID-19, Barclays Center has announced a special employee sweepstakes for all non-management staff including ushers, food service workers, security, and others. Beginning Sept. 13 through Dec. 31, 2021, vaccinated employees will receive one entry into a drawing for every event shift they make themselves available to work, with a grand prize of $25,000 awarded on New Year’s Eve. In addition, vaccinated workers will be entered into weekly drawings for JetBlue airfare vouchers, smart watches and other smart devices, theme park passes, and other prizes.

In a separate message to those on its mailing list, the Barclays Center announced: Brooklyn is Back, inviting them to check out concerts and events.
