Spurs Revoke Finals Resellers' Season Tickets as Game 1 Prices Start at $959

  • Emails confirmed by Spurs Sports and Entertainment show the team is immediately revoking season-ticket memberships tied to unauthorized resale of NBA Finals seats and refunding any deposits for next season.
  • The notices say accounts were identified listing tickets on unofficial secondary-market sites, violating terms the team says were communicated throughout the season and again when playoff and Finals tickets went on sale.
  • The crackdown lands as San Antonio returns to the Finals for the first time in 12 years against the New York Knicks, with the cheapest listed Game 1 seats at Frost Bank Center priced at $959 before fees.
  • That pricing has fueled fan backlash online, even as some season-ticket holders argued regular members paid far less than late buyers entering the market just before Wednesday's 7:30 p.m. opener.

Is the Spurs' war on resellers truly for the fans, or a strategy to control a lucrative resale market?
With tickets legally defined as 'revocable licenses,' do fans have any real rights over the seats they pay for?
