Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a new incentive for those who get their COVID-19 vaccine at the Barclays Center's vaccination site.
BROOKLYN, NY — If you didn't get a shot at free Barclays Center tickets earlier this year, don't worry.
A new vaccine incentive program launching at the venue this week will offer anyone who gets their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine at the stadium's vaccine site a voucher for two tickets to a game, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Tuesday.
The latest incentive comes after a similar program that offered New Yorkers NFL tickets for getting their shot.
