Knicks fans are known for traveling well, and a potential sweep raised concerns about how many New Yorkers would appear at the Cavaliers’ arena. Cavs owner Dan Gilbert faced questions about keeping Knicks fans from disrupting games and about preventing rich and famous Knicks supporters from getting close to the action. Fat Joe said he bought courtside tickets for Game 4 but was told his tickets were cancelled and he was moved back after the team learned he was a Knicks superfan. A Knicks beat writer reported similar experiences from other courtside buyers who received calls about being moved. The Cavaliers said playoff courtside seating is controlled by an agreement that bars resale or transfer without approval and requires compliance with single-game playoff terms.
"We had bought some courtside tickets to the game, and then once they found out it was superfan Fat Joe, it was like, I can't sit courtside. New York Knick fans can't sit courtside,"
"They took the tickets away."
"Playoff courtside seating is governed by a specific agreement that prohibits the resale or transfer of tickets without approval,"
"All courtside ticket holders are required to comply with the terms of the single-game playoff agreement."
