Ticketmaster Cages Out-of-State Fans
13 Jun
Summary
- Ticket sales restricted to fans within 150 miles of Frost Bank Center.
- Orders from outside the radius will be canceled without notice.
- Nearly half of Game 5 tickets were bought by New York/New Jersey fans.
Fans hoping to witness the New York Knicks potentially secure the NBA championship in Game 5 are facing a significant obstacle due to strict ticket sales policies. Ticketmaster has announced that sales for the game will be limited exclusively to individuals residing within a 150-mile radius of the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas. This restriction is based on credit card billing addresses, meaning any orders placed by fans outside this designated area will be canceled without prior notification and a refund will be issued.
This policy directly affects supporters from New York and New Jersey, many of whom had already purchased tickets anticipating a championship victory. Data indicates that approximately 45% of Game 5 tickets were initially bought by fans from these states, while only about 12% were sold to customers in the Texas area. The decision aims to ensure local fans have priority access to a game that could crown the Knicks as champions.
