Summary
54% of tickets sold for NBA Finals Game 5 in San Antonio came from Knicks markets, a sharp jump from 17% for Game 1 and 23% for Game 2.
41% of Game 5 purchases were made in New York and 13% in New Jersey, while Texas accounted for just 12%, pointing to a road crowd tilted toward New York.
The surge comes with the Knicks one win from their first championship since 1973 and after Spurs fans made up only 1% of ticket sales for Games 3 and 4 at Madison Square Garden.
Game 5's get-in price was $1,430 on Gametime, far below Game 4's peak near $13,000, while a potential Game 6 back at MSG was already priced above $11,000.
