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.

Were they treated Badz?
You had Spurs fans beaten up in NYC one left in a coma so yeah I can honestly say who can blame them for doing this
Yep.
And I know. Love college football.
NBA...😴, FIFA...😴, MLB...😴, NFL...😴, WNBA...😴. But, a real manly dude like platner is probably all excited. 😂👍
Your sock drawer is calling Noob.
“
...to jail.”
Last thing anyone wants is a New Yorker in a San Antonio jail cell. It ain’t pretty.
Based on the Spurs play the other night, I really cannot imagine driving more than 50 miles and then pay to see them. I am not a supporter of Knicks fans. The are pretty obnoxious. But if they want to pay $40,000 to watch a basketball game, I say “let them.”
last game was $7k - $100k by resellers.
Doesn't seem like that would be legal.
As a NYer, I’m hoping the knicks lose and the fans start beating each other up...
LOL
Maybe the Spurs don’t want any more violent NY’ers to assault their players or fans.
Say’s here this team is from New York City.
NEW YORK CITY?!?!?!?
Get a rope!
Dang you beat me to it.
I heard even more.
Violates the commerce clause of the US Constitution?
