The San Antonio Spurs slapped a ticket restriction on NBA Finals games in a pathetic bid to keep New York fans from flooding the Frost Bank Center — sparking outrage from Big Apple pols and Knicks fans alike.
Knicks faithful trying to get into tonight’s Game 5 contest – which could hand New York its first NBA title in 53 years – are being greeted with a warning from Ticketmaster.
“Frost Bank Center is located in San Antonio, Texas . Sales to this event will be restricted to customers residing within a 150-mile radius of Frost Bank Center,” the note reads.
“Residency will be based on credit card billing address. Orders by residents outside of a 150-mile radius of Frost Bank Center will be canceled without notice and refunds given. Please note there is a 4 seat ticket limit for transactions through the venue.”
One Knicks fan who encountered the attempted ban on attendees who live more than 150 miles from the Texas arena said nothing would stop him from getting in.
A New Jersey native who now lives in California, the man, who gave his name at Kyle G., thought he was getting a fair deal when he tried to buy a ducat via Ticketmaster.

Those people are willing to pay more for seats.
Hmmm, NBA....
National Balloon Association?
Nightly Ballroom Activists?
Nesting Baboon Accountants?
Na, doesn’t ring a bell.
This has been going on in college football for literally decades.
I see no problem with it.
Good for the Spurs after the way their fans were treated in New York.
Plus the city and the state did nothing about it.
“ Good for the Spurs after the way their fans were treated in New York.”
I agree with you. I’m a native New Yorker just saying
The post doesn’t mention a spurs fan was beaten to a coma outside MSG Thursday after the game. Nor does that excuse for a governor- hochul
The heck with all of them anyway. They show blatant disrespect during the anthem, both teams, as if our flag stands for some kind of injustice. It does not.
They are even even locking people out from Dallas, Houston, and Tyler, TX.
I don’t either but apparently there are ways around it.
I have never seen such audacity and gall in my life. I can’t believe…….. wait a second is this professional sports?
Oh never mind, exactly zero “F”s given
Maybe Knicks fans should’ve thought of this before they attacked the Spurs players and fans.
Zero sympathy.
Industrious San Antonio residents can make some cash here.
Cuts out Dallas and Houston, but may include a sliver of Mexico.
Fooko Marco Cubano!
Probably as your Bell has been rung to many times.😘
Smart move! Not just for the game either!

...to jail.
Cuban doesn’t own the Spurs, but yeah cause whadda douche.
And “New York City? Get a rope!” (copyright Pace Picante, San Antonio, Texas)
I don’t remember “Get a rope” from a Pace commercial. But do recall a sheriff, after discovering that the restaurant’s picante sauce was from New York, telling the waitress “Darlin’, looks like we’re gonna have to shut you down.”
This is not new is pro sports. They even tell their season ticket holders not to sell tickets for 49er fans coming to Seattle to watch games. Example:
The 49ers Faithful are one of the NFL’s best traveling fan bases, and the Seattle Seahawks are trying to get ahead of things and protect their home-field advantage as San Francisco visits Lumen Field on Saturday for the NFC Divisional Playoffs.
“Starting last week, the Seahawks sent notices to select season ticket holders “warning they are at risk of having their tickets revoked if the team determines their sole purpose for having them is to resell them,” per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times.
And read the attached email from a fan.
