圣安东尼奥——纽约球迷们，购买NBA总决赛第五场门票，风险自担。
整个季后赛期间，圣安东尼奥马刺都对通过 Ticketmaster 售出的门票实施了“150英里限制规则”。该政策警告称，凡是使用账单地址在弗罗斯特银行中心 (Frost Bank Center) 150英里以外的信用卡购买的门票，都将被取消并退款。
几支NBA球队也实施了类似的政策，包括克利夫兰骑士——纽约尼克斯在东部决赛中的对手。但这并没有阻止尼克斯球迷在那个系列赛的第三场和第四场中涌入火箭球馆。
Ticketmaster 周六下午在社交媒体上发布消息澄清，地理限制是由主场球队设置的，并在购票时生效，但任何持有“有效且经认证门票”的球迷都可以在周六晚上进入球馆。
“在 X 上的声明写道：“对于本场比赛，没有任何在 Ticketmaster 上购买的门票已经或将被取消。””
当天早些时候，马刺的“150英里限制政策”在社交媒体上引发热议，因为尼克斯球迷担心，在飞越整个美国去见证球队可能夺得53年来首个总冠军之后，他们的门票会被取消。
纽约州州长凯茜·霍楚尔 (Kathy Hochul) 周六上午在 X 上表达了她的关切，她表示：“尼克斯球迷终于距离总冠军只有一步之遥，而他们得到的‘奖赏’却是门票被取消。成千上万的纽约人出于信任购买了门票、预订了机票并做好了出行计划。Ticketmaster 和马刺应该撤销这一决定，让购买了这些座位的球迷保留它们。在此之前，我代表各地的尼克斯球迷，要对这种行为‘吹罚犯规’。”
麦迪逊广场花园体育公司 (Madison Square Garden Sports) 周六下午发表声明，向尼克斯球迷保证，他们将被允许进入球馆观看周六的第五场对决。
声明中写道：“与此前的报道相反，我们已与马刺管理层确认，他们不会撤销尼克斯球迷今晚在圣安东尼奥比赛的任何门票，所有持票人都将被允许进入弗罗斯特银行球馆。”
马刺的这项政策在整个季后赛期间都在实施，但目前尚不清楚执行得有多严格。在圣安东尼奥进行的第一场和第二场比赛中，尼克斯球迷坐满了看台，其中许多人来自纽约。但马刺在周六给 The Athletic 的一份声明中证实，该政策旨在防止客场球迷（蓝橙军团）占领球馆。
声明中写道：“在季后赛期间推出的150英里半径限制在整个NBA总决赛期间仍然有效。这使我们能够继续优先保障圣安东尼奥、奥斯汀及周边社区本地球迷的权益。”
在总决赛早些时候，马刺还执行了一项禁止通过非官方平台转售门票的政策，并通知那些未通过官方 Ticketmaster 平台转售门票的季票持有者，他们的季票会员资格将被取消。
马刺在给 The Athletic 的一份声明中表示：“我们致力于将正版门票送到球迷手中，并强烈建议球迷只从经过验证的交易平台购买。我们的转售指南在整个赛季中都已传达给我们的会员，并在季后赛和总决赛门票开售时进行了同步告知。”

Knicks fans’ tickets to NBA Finals Game 5 valid despite Spurs’ rule designed to cancel purchases
SAN ANTONIO — Buy tickets for Game 5 of the NBA Finals at your own risk, New Yorkers.
Throughout the postseason, the San Antonio Spurs have implemented a 150-mile rule on seats sold through Ticketmaster. The policy warns that purchases made with credit cards with billing addresses outside of 150 miles from Frost Bank Center will be canceled and refunded.
Several NBA teams implement a similar policy, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, the New York Knicks’ opponent in the Eastern Conference finals. But that didn’t keep Knicks fans from invading Rocket Arena for games 3 and 4 of that series.
Ticketmaster posted a message on social media Saturday afternoon clarifying that the geographic restrictions were set by the host team and applied at the time of purchase, but anyone with “a valid, authenticated ticket” would get into the arena Saturday night.
“No tickets purchased on Ticketmaster for this game have or will be canceled,” the statement on X read.
Earlier in the day, the Spurs’ 150-mile policy made the rounds on social media, as Knicks fans were concerned their tickets would be canceled after flying across the country to see their team potentially clinch its first championship in 53 years.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul voiced her concerns on X Saturday morning, saying: “Knicks fans finally get within one game of a championship and their reward is having their tickets canceled. Thousands of New Yorkers bought tickets, booked flights, and made plans in good faith. Ticketmaster and the Spurs should reverse this decision and let the fans who bought those seats keep them. Until then, on behalf of Knicks fans everywhere, I’m calling foul.”
Madison Square Garden Sports released a statement Saturday afternoon reassuring Knicks fans that they will be let into the building for Saturday’s Game 5.
“Contrary to prior reporting, we’ve confirmed with Spurs ownership that they will not be revoking any tickets that Knicks fans have to tonight’s game in San Antonio and all ticket holders will be allowed in to Frost Bank Arena,” the statement read.
The Spurs’ policy has been in place the entire postseason, but it’s unclear how strictly it has been enforced. Knicks fans filled the stands in games 1 and 2 in San Antonio, with many coming from New York. But the Spurs confirmed in a statement released to The Athletic on Saturday that the policy is aimed at mitigating a blue-and-orange takeover.
“The 150-mile radius restriction introduced during the Playoffs remains in place throughout the NBA Finals,” the statement read. “This allows us to continue prioritizing local fans across San Antonio, Austin, and the surrounding communities.”
Earlier in the finals, the Spurs enforced a policy prohibiting the resale of tickets through unofficial platforms, informing season ticket holders whose tickets were not resold through the official Ticketmaster platform that their season ticket membership was being revoked.
“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.”
