Ticketmaster has confirmed that Knicks fans can attend Saturday's Game 5 of the NBA finals against the Spurs in San Antonio. A notice on Ticketmaster's website caused confusion, indicating that tickets purchased by those living over 150 miles from the arena would be canceled. This raised concerns about fans being locked out, prompting responses from New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James, who demanded clarity. Ticketmaster stated that no tickets already purchased would be revoked, while Spurs officials explained the policy is intended to benefit local fans. Knicks representatives also affirmed that all ticket holders would be allowed entry.
