A group of Barclays Center luxury-box owners is suing the Brooklyn arena for the second time in less than a year, claiming they were promised a great investment — but that its value deflated faster than a punctured basketball.
Ludwig’s Drug Store in Prospect Heights purchased rights to the box last October for nearly $ 1 million for three years and at the time was told by arena officials it could rake in $ 600,000 a year, according to a suit filed last week in Manhattan Supreme Court.
In reality, the group only took in $ 104,417 last year, according to court papers.
Barclays Center spokesman Barry Baum said, “We take great exception to the assertion that Ludwig’s would have licensed a suite for the purpose of reselling suite tickets . . . when this . . . is completely contrary to the terms of the suite license.”
Three of the plaintiffs are already suing Barclays over alleged racial discrimination.
Neither Ludwig’s nor its lawyer returned a request for comment.
