Summary
600 free tickets will be distributed by lottery for fans to attend Thursday’s City Hall plaza ceremony after the Knicks’ ticker-tape parade, with 300 winners getting two tickets each.
The public entry window runs through 11 a.m. ET Wednesday at NBA.com, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the free access is meant to let working-class New Yorkers join the championship celebration.
Thursday’s route will carry the team up Broadway through the Canyon of Heroes to City Hall, where Mamdani will present the Knicks with keys to the city.
The event will mark the franchise’s first-ever championship parade; the Knicks’ 1970 and 1973 title teams were honored at mayoral ceremonies but never received a parade.
