Nearly half of Frost Bank Center will be blue and orange as the Big Apple\u2019s beloved squad looks to secure its first NBA Championship title in 53 years in a 1999 finals rematch when Gregg Popovich\u2019s Spurs won in five games.<\/p>\n

Data shows New York billing zip codes bought 37% of tickets to the potentially clinching game, and another 8% came from New Jersey, according to Kyle Zorn of the popular resale service TickPick.<\/p>\n

Only 12% of tickets were bought by Texas-area customers as of early Thursday, Zorn said.<\/p>\n

Both New York and New Jersey accounted for only 13% of Game 1 tickets and 17% in Game 2 \u2014 both of which were on the road, SeatGeek numbers indicate.<\/p>\n

Fans flocked for tickets in Texas after Knicks completed a historic 29-point comeback against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs in Game 4 to take the 3-1 stranglehold in the series at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

TickPick\u2019s listings fluctuated throughout Thursday as get-in prices for Game 5 dipped from around $1,500 for standing room to just below $1,200.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The cheapest listed ticket \u2014 section 201, row 10 over mid-court \u2014 is $1,288 as of Friday morning.<\/p>\n

The Knicks are also a perfect 2-0 playing in San Antonio during these finals, notably after Wemby missed what would have been a winning last-second shot in Game 2.<\/p>\n

MSG\u2019s get-in price on TickPick is $10,727 for a prospective Game 6 Tuesday night should the Knicks need another crack to win it all for the first time since 1973.<\/p>\n
