_《The Athletic》将为您带来_[_尼克斯对阵马刺_](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/live-blogs/knicks-vs-spurs-live-updates-nba-finals-2026-game-1-score-result/VNx1xr6lfNoA/)_2026年_[_NBA总决赛_](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/live-blogs/knicks-vs-spurs-live-updates-nba-finals-2026-game-1-score-result/VNx1xr6lfNoA/)_第一场对决的实时报道。_

圣安东尼奥马刺队警告那些意图在二级市场转售NBA总决赛门票的季票持有者，切勿在非授权网站上挂牌出售，甚至已经有球迷因此被吊销了季票资格。

一位名叫马克·伯内特 (Mark Burnett) 的球迷在Instagram上[发布了一张截图](https://www.instagram.com/p/DZCrVqwuwNb/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=64d41c34-842c-4f5c-8c5c-16b2ce099109)，内容是另一位马刺球迷杰克·鲍威尔 (Jake Powell) 发来的电子邮件，警告支持者在转售总决赛门票时要注意发布平台。由于马刺队发现鲍威尔的门票交易源自一个非官方的二级市场网站，违反了球队的购票条款与细则，因此吊销了他的季票。

“我们致力于确保球迷能够买到正版门票，并强烈建议球迷仅在经认证的交易平台进行购买，”马刺队在给 _The Athletic_ 的一份声明中表示，“在整个赛季期间，以及季后赛和总决赛门票开售之际，我们都向会员传达了转售指南。”

这一消息传出之际，正值总决赛票价一路飙升。NBA总决赛将于美东时间周三晚上8:30在圣安东尼奥的霜冻银行中心 (Frost Bank Center) 拉开帷幕。马刺主场可容纳18,418名观众，该场馆的第三方运营商Ticketmaster正在出售转售票。截至周二，最便宜的门票位于200区顶层看台，未含税费的价格为793.73美元。而位置最好的席位之一——位于场边Ledger场边俱乐部 (Ledger Courtside Club) 的座位，未含税费的标价高达47,600美元。

伯内特告诉 _The Athletic_，鲍威尔在尝试出售门票时使用的是一个Facebook购票群。伯内特补充道，据他所知，至少还有其他三人的季票资格也被吊销了。伯内特还声称，马刺队正在控票，每次仅分批释放200至300张门票。

“我一直在关注价格和网站。我认为这与控制市场价格的能力有关，因为Ticketmaster采用动态定价，会根据需求提高票价，”伯内特说道。

伯内特曾连续13个赛季担任马刺队季票持有者。他表示，一位球队票务代表曾告诉他，马刺队会定期监控社交媒体页面和季票持有者的账户，以查看他们是否在转售座位以及售价是多少。

“马刺队一直都有关于门票转售的政策和规定，”伯内特说，“然而，直到今年季后赛，这些规定才真正被严格执行。”

尼克斯队自1999年以来首次杀入总决赛，并渴望夺得53年来的首个总冠军。马刺队上一次进入总决赛是在2014年，当时他们击败了迈阿密热火队，夺得了队史第五座总冠军奖杯。

> 
> The San Antonio Spurs are warning season-ticket holders seeking to sell their NBA Finals seats on the secondary market not to list them on unauthorized websites and have even revoked one fan’s season tickets.
> 
> One fan, Mark Burnett, [posted a screenshot](https://www.instagram.com/p/DZCrVqwuwNb/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=64d41c34-842c-4f5c-8c5c-16b2ce099109) to Instagram of an email from Jake Powell, another Spurs fan, warning supporters to be careful about where they post their finals tickets for resale. Powell’s season tickets were revoked after the Spurs identified the ticket sales as originating from an unofficial secondary market site that violates the team’s ticketing terms and conditions.
> 
> “We’re focused on getting authentic tickets into the hands of our fans and strongly encourage fans to only buy from verified marketplaces,” the Spurs said in a statement to _The Athletic_. “Our resale guidelines have been communicated to our members throughout the season and in conjunction with Playoffs and Finals going on sale.”
> 
> The news comes amid soaring ticket prices as the NBA Finals tip off Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. ET at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. The Spurs venue seats 18,418, and the venue’s third-party operator, Ticketmaster, is selling resale tickets. As of Tuesday, the cheapest ticket is $793.73 before fees in the balcony level in the 200s section. One of the best seats is on the floor in the Ledger Courtside Club and is marked $47,600 before fees.
> 
> Burnett told _The Athletic_ that Powell used a Facebook ticket group when seeking to sell his ticket. Burnett added that he knows of at least three others who’ve had their season tickets revoked. Burnett also claims the Spurs are holding and releasing small blocks of 200-300 seats at a time.
> 
> “I’ve been monitoring the pricing and site. I believe it has to do with the ability to control the market pricing because Ticketmaster uses dynamic pricing while raising pricing due to demand,” Burnett said.
> 
> Burnett, a former Spurs season-ticket holder for 13 seasons, said a team ticketing representative told him the Spurs routinely monitor social media pages and season ticket holders’ accounts to see if they are selling their seats and for how much.
> 
> “The Spurs have always had policies and regulations regarding ticket resale,” Burnett said. “However, they’ve really never been enforced until this postseason.”
> 
> The Knicks are in the finals for the first time since 1999 and are hoping to win their first title in 53 years. The Spurs were last in the finals in 2014, when they beat the Miami Heat to earn their fifth title.
>
