Just do it yourself, although I have read that its against the department for transports rules as its classed as littering.

Yeah, well, as I'm a honorary Brooklyner, this line in that article applies to me

New Yorkers walking the span said they didn’t understand what the fuss was all about.

Thanks for the help, that is great.

We got our baseball tickets from Ticket Master, we didnt pay lots for them I think for 2 with the extras about $80-90 as this match is the day we land and we were concerned if we were delayed etc. Our Basketball tickets we got from Stubhub so payed a bit more for them and then you pay more than face value but it will be worth it to see a match at Madison Sq Gardens.

I read up on the padlocks and it was very enlightening, be interesting to see them on the bridge

hi all

sorry to be a pain, just got a few more q's

what are the chances of seeing a sports game on our trip (we are in nyc from 24th-27th october?
any sport apart from soccer??

I doubt you'll make the regular basketball season but you should be able to get tickets to the preseason. You have the NY Knicks and Brooklyn Nets to choose from

Its a super twee thing to do the love locks but I am a very twee person so I think its lovely haha! It was a nice sight to see them in Paris, they don't remove them there so there are thousands.

It reminds of a nice thing I came across on Tripadvisor, Tiles for America which I really wanted to see but found out they were removed last September

$80 to $90!

I've found the $5 to $10 seats at any ball park to be absolutely fantastic and usually sees you sitting with the real fans!

My phone is unlocked and usually when I visit relatives in Australia I buy a Vodafone Red Sim pack. It is a sim card that is loaded with $30. Is there anything similar that I can buy in New York?

Depends what you want.
Calls in the US?
Calls back to the UK
Texts in the US
Texts to the UK (and from the UK)?
Data?

Answer that, and I'll be able to point you in the right direction.
