"Knicks to Sell NBA Playoff Tickets Exclusively to Vaccinated Fans If They Advance"

"The New York Knicks announced Friday that tickets for games at Madison Square Garden for the second round of the 2021 NBA playoffs will be sold exclusively to fully vaccinated fans if the team advances past the Atlanta Hawks.

They sure live in a bubble, how can you justify doing that when other stadiums do none of that, no vaccination checks, no segregated seating, etc, and have everything turn out fine.

Something tells me the 30-40% of the population that wont get vaccinated represents more than 30-40% of their fan base.

There might be a level of pent up demand in certain reopening states right now, but the reality is very few sports franchises sell out, many not even close, in the NBA in 2019 about 1/2 of teams didn't sell out, can they afford to lose 30% of their fans? Or do they really think that non nba fans will start attending games now that they require ticket buyers to jump through hoops?

Keep in mind while nationwide we will likely hit 70% of eligible people getting vaccinated, among those 70+ the rates are in the 90% level(they bump up the stats) - those people dont attend sporting events in large numbers. So these sports teams will be excluding not 25-30% of the fan base, but 40-45%.

Always a wise business decision to alienate a significant portion of the population.

Go woke, go broke.

Sure, the Knicks will go broke with only the vaccinated being allowed. LOL.

How much do you want to bet they'll have a full house this year and next year as well.

I said nothing about "right now". Learn how to read or get your eyes tested! lol

"The Garden is going fully vaxxed if the Knicks advance. And next season, the fans will have to pay more for the team’s success.
The club announced it will only sell tickets in the second round of the playoffs to vaccinated individuals, opening up the possibility of something at least close to a capacity crowd. In the first round against the Hawks, roughly 10% of the crowd has been unvaccinated and required to socially distance in a separate section."

Is tomorrow the future, moron? How about later today?

Would that be part of "this year", genius?

I was talking about the Knicks & their fans in NY later this year & next. You spoke of right now. Do you see them playing in NY right now. No, you don't. And right now is not later this year, either. You also changed the topic to the NBA in general. Do you need a course in how to read? Or eye tests & specs?

Right now isn't part of "this year"? The games already played in 2021 are not part of "this year"?

It's not me that needs a lesson, dumbfuck. Learn how to use your words correctly.

And despite you trying to change the definition of the words you literally wrote, you'll still end up being wrong unless the Knicks change their policy.

Right now is not the future when the Knicks will be playing at home to their fans, which probably won't occur till the fall of 2021. If even then, depending on the future of the pandemic & whatever else shit may hit the fan.

Right now is not the future. It's the present.

Right now is the future compared to your original post, retard.

If you need further verification of that, check the timestamps. They are certainly not the same.

You can't even win in your own stupid game of semantics. That's how incapable you are of thinking for yourself.

If it's not i still have the rest of the year for them to get there. I never said they are going to sell out, or have full capacity, for every game this year. Obviously the ongoing pandemic could interrupt things now, but unlikely to do so by December 2021, let alone December 2022.

But i understand you are deficient in reading skills and/or logic and/or need your eyes tested, etc.

And my bet offer still stands: "How much do you want to bet they'll have a full house this year and next year as well."

If they don't have a "full house" for one game, they don't have a "full house" the entire year, dumbfuck.

Yeah. It's me that's lacking logic and reading skills. LMAO.

The statement "a full house this year" does not necessarily equate to "a full house - for every game - this year".

Likewise neither does "a pear" (i.e. one pear) mean "every pear".
