Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care and Vault Health Providing Additional Pre-Game Testing Options
New York, NY – February 20, 2021 – MSG Sports announced today that extremely limited tickets to the New York Rangers games on February 26 and February 28 vs. the Boston Bruins and March 2 vs. the Buffalo Sabres are now available for public sale. Individuals can purchase up to four tickets, starting at $50, through nyrangers.com.
“It will be a special moment when the Blueshirts skate back onto the ice in front of their passionate fans, and we are focused on giving as many fans as possible the opportunity to join us,” said David Hopkinson, MSG Sports EVP and President of Team Business Operations. “We are thrilled that following a great response from Season Ticket Members, we can now make limited tickets available to the general public.”
There are extremely limited tickets available in prices ranging from $50-$345. Also available are a limited number of private suites with varying capacities based on New York State regulations, offering a full slate of luxurious amenities. Interested parties should contact [email protected] or call 212-465-6155.
Health and safety is the highest priority and MSG Sports has worked closely with state and health officials to develop operating protocols. Attendees will need to fulfill a few pre-game requirements prior to entry into Madison Square Garden. In accordance with New York State guidelines, attendees will need to complete a three-step health screening, including presenting confirmation of a negative PCR COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours of the day of the game. They will also need to complete a quick and easy health survey and pass a temperature check upon entry. In addition, all guests will be required to wear a face mask while in The Garden, except while actively eating or drinking, which will only be permitted in their assigned seat. Attendees will need to download the MSG Venue App to access digital tickets.
Fans may choose any healthcare provider that offers PCR COVID-19 testing to complete their pre-game testing. To provide fans with additional urgent care and at-home options to fulfill New York State’s pre-game PCR COVID-19 testing requirements, MSG Sports has teamed up with two PCR testing providers, Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care and Vault Health.
“We understand that due to current state requirements fans have to take extra steps to attend our games – and we want to try to make things simpler. We know there are a lot of ways to get tested – and hope our partnerships with Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care and Vault provide fans with additional options,” added Mr. Hopkinson. “Fans are going the extra mile to get to MSG and we want to do everything we can to help.”
Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care has created a dedicated process for ticket holders to ensure that they have their results in hand on game day, with effortless access to 50+ Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care
centers in New York City, Long Island and Westchester. After purchasing their tickets, Rangers customers will receive a unique link to schedule a brief Virtual Visit appointment during which they will receive a confirmed testing appointment at a conveniently located center. Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care asks that ticket
holders take the PCR COVID-19 test three days before the event. For example, for the Rangers first game on
February 26, fans should make their Virtual Visit appointment between now and February 22. This will allow fans to confirm a spot for in-person testing on Tuesday, February 23 so that they receive their test results on or before February 26.
Vault Health will provide fans with a simple FDA-authorized, saliva-based COVID-19 at-home PCR test that meets all of New York State’s testing requirements. The process is simple. Once a test is requested by a ticket holder, Vault Health will overnight it directly to the ticket holder’s home, where they can take the test in comfort under video supervision by a medical professional. That same day, the ticket holder will need to return the completed test overnight to Vault Health via UPS so that the test can be promptly processed, with test results emailed to the ticket holder on the day of receipt. For example, for the February 26 game, fans should request their test from Vault Health by February 22. On February 23, fans will receive, take and send back their test overnight via UPS to Vault Health. Fans will then receive their results via email on or before the February 26 game.
Please note that any costs for testing should be paid directly to the healthcare provider. Fans should consult their insurance provider to determine actual costs.
