Barclays Center, a massive indoor arena in Brooklyn, is the second biggest venue in New York City besides Madison Square Garden. The multi-purpose space is part of a $4.9 billion entertainment and residential complex called Pacific Park. It's the home of the Brooklyn Nets basketball team and the New York Islanders hockey team. It's also very easy to get to as it's located next to Atlantic Terminal, which is served by almost every subway in New York City as well as the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR).

Packages or Season Tickets to Concerts at Barclays Center
All non-Nets events are sold on as individual tickets (no season plans) and the timing as to when these concert tickets go on sale varies by show. If you're buying the top tier All Access Pass, Brooklyn Nets season tickets, you get first rights to buy tickets for all other non-Nets events.
Where to Buy Barclays Center Tickets
There are a lot of options in the ticket world. You can search online for various ticket sellers, although you'll probably pay more than if you bought directly from the venue.
You can purchase directly from the Barclays Center Box Office, on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn. Tickets are also sold through Ticketmaster.
Tickets for Children
There's a general policy on tickets for kids (see below) but family shows geared specifically toward children may have a different age policy. Here's the general policy:
For Sporting Events & "Most Concerts": Kids 2 years of age and younger do not require a ticket to be admitted into the Barclays Center. But they must sit on an adult’s lap and may not occupy a seat.
Children age 3 and above need their own ticket to enter the arena and must occupy their ticketed seat only.
The policy says, "children up to 34” inches in height may enter Barclays Center free of charge but must share a seat with an accompanying ticketed adult.
The Best Seats at the Barclays Center
Each show’s setup is visible when you go to purchase tickets online. Seating charts are also available on the Nets website in a state-of-the-art 3D seating chart so you can "see" where you might sit using the 3D seat gizmo on the venue's website.
