Ticketmaster says Knicks fans won't be locked out of game after last-minute panic
Ticketmaster has reassured Knicks fans that they will not be locked out of Game 5 of the NBA finals in Texas despite initial concerns over ticket purchase limits. The company stated that no tickets purchased on its platform have or will be canceled, and fans can be confident that their tickets will get them into the game. The restriction, meant to give locals better chances of scoring seats, has been in place since the NBA playoffs began in April, but caused panic among Knicks fans after being reported by US media outlet TMZ.

- ▪The restriction is meant to give local fans better chances of scoring seats to major games.
- ▪Tickets that have been previously purchased are not being canceled or revoked.
