Barclays Center releases June 2023 events calendar: ten ticketed events, plus four graduation ceremonies (two of them today). They omitted the NBA Draft.

The Barclays Center yesterday circulated its June 2023 event calendar, with ten announced ticketed events, including six New York Liberty games and four concerts.

The calendar also lists four graduation ceremonies: Brooklyn College, John Jay, City Tech, Borough of Manhattan Community College. The first two are being held today, with doors opening at 8 am and the second event ending at 6 pm.

But they left out the NBA Draft, which will be held Thursday, June 22. While the Barclays Center does not list ticket sales, the NBA offers ticket packages, with various perks. Wow--they start at $429 and go quickly to $1,199, $1,299, $1,399, $2,399, and $2,999, plus one option, Hall of Fame, where you have to call for pricing. 

(In previous years, tickets were sold for lower prices and at higher volume, but apparently the NBA--and the arena operators--are aiming for high-rollers seeking unique experiences. Oddly enough, StubHub has four upper bowl seats--at $347 and $363 each, with fees--not available via the NBA.)

June is typically slow, in part because they have to initially set aside dates for a potential long NBA playoff run. The June 2022 calendar had eleven ticketed events: seven New York Liberty games, three concerts, and the NBA Draft, plus three graduation ceremonies.
