Nosebleeds are $700?
The knicks are on a crazy 10 game run never done before and 1 game away from being in the finals which they havent made since 1999. Tickets would normally be kind of high, but all of this and the demand is high by fans. Its been so crazy that ticket sales and audience attendees at away games are showing more knicks fans over the home team.
Wait. They let away fans sit in the home team section?
Yeah, weirdly we totally missed out on hooliganism in the US. Sports games are just people watching sports.
Bread and circuses. The biggest difference is we tend to riot after our team wins. 🤷♂️ ‘Murica.
Honestly, the US doesn't have anything that even resembles hooliganism, let alone the fucking insanity of Ultras. The occasional overly enthusiastic celebration after a team win sure maybe minor damage to like a streetlamp or a couple broken windows; when was the last time fans of the losing team were murdered while it was happening?
Like can you imagine the outrage in the US if people tried to pull this shit at the superbowl?

I agree the US doesn’t produce hooliganism, that was my point. We unfortunately translate the vibe in our own way that ends up much worse.
Im pretty sure they let them sit wherever they can get tickets. I also heard attendance was so bad for the 2 76ers home games they donated a lot just to fill seats. If its that bad it's no wonder knicks fans are taking over at away games.
For the playoffs, yeah.
I'm not a sports person but I went looking and found this:

Presume "get-in price" means absolute minimum?
Not normally.
I don't keep up on the NBA, but I've been watching Desus' new podcast and apparently the Knicks are in a playoff push and all of NYC is convinced they'll make it.
It's not as much about the team as it is about NYC. Tickets prices aren't up because people want to see the game, it's a cultural event.
Oh for fuck's sake it's the playoffs. New Yorkers understand.
Everyone else in the world isn't drowning in garbage. You don't have to act like an asshole on the internet just because your town stinks like one.
