NBA Finals 2026: Knicks fans have purchased 54 percent of tickets to Game 5 in San Antonio
With the New York Knicks on the brink of the team's first championship since 1973, Knicks fans are looking to give the team a hometown environment despite Game 5 of the NBA Finals being on the road. Knicks markets have accounted for 54% of all tickets sold ahead of the game, despite it taking place in San Antonio.
That figure comes via Gametime, and is a drastic departure from the number of Knicks fans who attended Games 1 and 2 of the series, both of which were in San Antonio.
Only 17% of all tickets purchased for Game 1 came from Knicks markets, which include New York and New Jersey, per Gametime's data. That figure was 23% for Game 2.
When the series shifted to New York in Games 3 and 4, Knicks fans did a tremendous job keeping San Antonio Spurs fans out of Madison Square Garden. Spurs markets accounted for just 1% of all tickets sold for Games 3 and 4.
