Summary
Ticketmaster posted a 150-mile residency rule for Saturday's NBA Finals Game 5 in San Antonio, saying out-of-area purchases can be canceled without notice and refunded.
The restriction targets a potential Knicks-heavy crowd as New York leads the best-of-seven series 3-1 and can clinch its first championship since 1973 on the Spurs' home floor.
Game 5 demand has surged, with seats starting around $1,500 in the upper levels and reaching about $10,000 courtside; reports say Knicks fans had already bought roughly 50% of seats.
The move follows San Antonio's 107-106 Game 4 collapse after leading by 29 points, the largest comeback in NBA Finals history.
