San Antonio cancels some out-of-town Knicks tickets for NBA Finals Game 5

sportsJun 13, 202635785

The San Antonio Spurs canceled or restricted tickets held by out-of-state New York Knicks supporters for Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals at Frost Bank Center, with the Knicks leading the series 3-1 and one win from their first championship since 1973. The team enforced a 150-mile geographic restriction on tickets sold through Ticketmaster, limiting eligible ZIP codes and warning some purchasers their orders would be voided or flagged. The policy aims to preserve a home-crowd atmosphere, which will shape arena composition on a potential title-clinching night and prompt legal and public-relations scrutiny.

Haiti’s first World Cup game in 52 years and the potentially decisive Game 5 of the Knicks-Spurs finals being on at the same time are a real “which side are you on” moment for me

Talarico doing Spurs ads featuring Pop and Timmy. This is smart given that San Antonio is majority Latino.

And Pop was one of the brave souls who actually, bluntly, spoke out against Trump years ago. Go Pop! But I'm still rooting for the Knicks

Greetings! I’ll be in Manhattan covering whatever happens here as the Knicks play the Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. / NYPD has a soft cordon on 35th and 6th, telling folks just to pop into the subway and back up at Macy’s. Lots of roles cup revelers as well. Game starts in a few hours.

Manhattan, NY - NYPD officers are walking on seventh and fashion a few blocks away from Madison Square Garden. A few carrying batons, helmets and black bags to their side. A woman hawking for a cannabis store offering coupons. No takers. “People are assholes today,” she told me about her day.

Are you a Knicks fan who wants to watch Game 5 down in San Antonio? It's unlikely that the Spurs' "150-mile" policy on tickets sold through Ticketmaster will keep you from a potential date with destiny.

Knicks fans will be let into the Frost Bank Center to watch Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Here's why concerns about canceled and refunded tickets might be overblown, free and unlocked: nyti.ms/4xoh1Id

Despite efforts to limit Knicks fans from buying tickets to Game 5, the Spurs’ arena appears to be filled with New Yorkers and New Yorkers at heart.

Spurs restrict out-of-state Knicks fans from buying Game 5 tickets The Spurs are certainly taking a bold route to limiting the Knicks fans' presence at their arena ahead of Game 5 of the 2026 NBA Finals. clutchpoints.com/nba/san-anto...

The bad news for the Knicks: They continue to struggle to score in first quarters, opening up Game 5 just 2-for-12 from the floor. The good news: The Spurs aren't running away and hiding this time. Spurs just 4-for-10 themselves, and lead 11-8 at the first timeout.

#Knicks had held Spurs to 17 pts in the 2Q before Vassell beat the buzzer. Down 5 at the half after a 13 pt 1Q. I’ll take it. This game is going FAST. Refs mostly holding their whistles so far (only 14 total fouls and 13 FTs) , so you know they’ll slow it down to a crawl in the 3Q.
