Are we supposed to feel badly for Knicks ticket holders?

Increased security at MSG so new rule that no bags allowed AT ALL. They've been warned to come hours early. No watch parties are allowed at MSG (normally people who don't have tickets do this), no vehicle access and no pedestrian travel through the area, which sits in a VERY busy part of Midtown Manhattan AKA above Penn Station!

this is what sucks. He is ruining it for all the real fans. Typical Donald. Selfish twat.

This isn't only about ticket holders it is about the working public in NY and tourism and jobs and the economy. Stop being a dumb maga.

They're also blocking off a ton of Midtown.

MSG sits on top of and next to one of the busiest transportation hubs in the country. How the heck do they expect to control any of this.

Even before Donald it was ruined for “real fans” by bots and scalpers. $10k for a single nosebleed seat. WTF. Nope, not a chance.

It was on every news station this morning. Get off TikTok and DCUM.

No, it wasn't. I also prefer to learn about current events other than sports, so no, I really don't want to tune into that.

Also, it's ironic that you seem hostile against Knicks supporters yet continually attack posters if they share they're not following this story!

What a troll.

Imagine being a bar owner inside the multi block secured zone near MSG. You'd prepared to have maybe the highest revenue night in this history of your bar.

Now you'll make nothing thanks to Trump.

Such a stupid comment, MSG has sell out events multiple nights a week. They'll live.

These were always expensive, but it's not just a rich person's event. For a fandom like this that is passionate and has been waiting for a looooong time, splurging is not unusual. Many of those attending are regular people.

Who is They? Management? Then management needs to stand up for the players and fans and not allow Trump to attend. That's all they have to do. "Sorry, because of the disruptions, added expense and distractions, it's not possible."

You think MSG management will stand up to him when Congress doesn’t stand up to him?

He ruined it for many people who were going to be with a watch party and get the vibe going around midtown. Of course Mamdani came up with a partial solution, because he Gets Stuff Done. But the orange one should have stayed home. Nobody needs or wants him there.

Did anybody really think he wouldn't fall asleep and leave early? That was my first thought when I heard it.

Did he leave early? He also thought people were cheering him, not booing.

Clueless. There were watch parties and restaurants outside MSG that were counting on the revenue from folks who couldn't get inside. Maybe pause and think through these things before calling something stupid.

You really have never been to this area have you. It's ok, you'd probably be far too overwhelmed.

By the way, my fellow New Yorkers ruined it for themselves and lost any amount of sympathy. Spurs in 6.
