The New York Knicks have issued a statement through MSG Networks announcing price cuts for their tickets.
The joke writes itself. That we win the ring, land a few good blows to see the Sixers on opening night, and, of course, the complaints from everyone have not been slow to arrive, especially from those who aren’t exactly wealthy.
You have to laugh when the NBA’s third most valuable franchise, according to Forbes, announces prices of $1,039 per ticket in the WORST section of Madison Square Garden, namely the 400th.
Imagine that middle-class New York family, always loyal to its team, that has waited 50 years for this moment. Well, they can’t afford it!
Four people would cost around the $4,158. And I repeat. In the worst section of the arena. In the nosebleeds, let’s say.
“We have paused individual ticket sales due to a pricing error. We are reverting to last year’s prices plus a 12% increase. We will begin selling tickets at the new prices soon, and anyone who has already purchased tickets will be refunded the difference. Our intention has never been to charge an excessive price to our fans, and we thank everyone for their patience,” reads the statement.
