NY Gov & AG Intervene: Spurs Reverses Ticket Policy
13 Jun
Summary
- Spurs tried to block Knicks fans from attending Game 5.
- New York officials criticized the Spurs' ticket restrictions.
- The Spurs eventually reversed their policy after pushback.
The San Antonio Spurs faced significant pushback after implementing a policy to restrict ticket sales for Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The policy, which limited sales to customers within a 150-mile radius of the arena, aimed to prevent a large influx of New York Knicks fans.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul publicly condemned the Spurs' decision, highlighting that thousands of New Yorkers had already made travel arrangements in good faith. She called for the reversal of the policy.
In response to the criticism from New York officials and likely fan outcry, the Spurs eventually backed down, allowing ticket holders outside the restricted radius to keep their seats.
