New York Knicks fans hoping to make the trip to Detroit for their team’s first-round playoff series against the Pistons may have a hard time finding tickets. That’s because the Pistons have restricted sales only to those within the Michigan area, according to Yahoo Sports.
Those purchasing tickets to Games 3, 4 and 6 in Detroit will need to use a credit card with a billing address located in Michigan or parts of Ohio, Indiana and Ontario. This will make it harder for Knicks fans to invade enemy territory, just like they did against the Philadelphia 76ers last year.
While this new policy makes it more difficult for Knicks fans to take over Little Caesars Arena, a spokesperson insisted that was not the intention. Instead, the team spokesperson told the New York Post that Detroit is implementing “geo-fencing” to stop brokers from buying up large swaths of affordable tickets and flipping them on the secondary market.
Knicks fans will still be able to buy tickets on the aforementioned secondary market, but those will likely come at a much higher price than face value.
The Pistons are far from the first team to implement this type of policy. For instance, the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes have altered their ticket policy in an attempt to limit the number of New York Rangers fans inside PNC Arena.

Giants celebrate Brandon Crawford, walk off in the ninth
SAN FRANCISCO — On Saturday afternoon, Brandon Crawford stood behind a podium in front of the pitcher’s mound at Oracle Park and gave the longest speech of his life. It was the longest bit of public speaking he’d done since he was in school, by his own reckoning, and the speech made him “more nervous than Game 7 in Kansas City,” but he handled it with aplomb. A weekend day game with Bruce Bochy and the Rangers in town was already one of the easiest games on the calendar to circle, but the pregame ceremony made it even easier for the die-hards and Crawford fanatics. (Although we have questions for the gentleman in the powder-blue “CRAWFORD 35” Cardinals jersey in section 119. A lot of questions.)AdvertisementThe loudest cheers of the day weren’t for Crawford, though. They weren’t for the introductions […]

2025 NBA playoff bracket: First-round matchups, schedule, game times as Thunder advance to second round
The 2025 NBA Playoffs are in full swing, as the field remains wide-open as we march through the first round series. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder entered as the No. 1 seeds in their respective conferences, but the defending champion Boston Celtics are considered the favorite by many experts and sportsbooks. The Thunder became the first NBA team to advance to the second round, completing a sweep of the Grizzlies on Saturday. The remaining Western Conference series are as follows: Rockets vs. Warriors, Lakers vs. Timberwolves and Nuggets vs. Clippers. The star-laden conference gives us superstars like Nikola Jokić, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, LeBron James, Anthony Edwards and Kawhi Leonard all in action, and it promises to be a tight race to the finish. Out East, we've got the Cavs vs. Heat, Celtics vs. Magic, Knicks vs. Pistons and Pacers […]
2025 Kentucky Derby post positions, morning line odds: Gate assignments for all 20 horses in the field
Getty Images The 151st running of the Kentucky Derby is set for next Saturday, May 3 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. On Saturday the 20 horses in the Derby field learned what post they would be running out of.The favorite, Journalism (3-1), drew the 8 post, while the only other horses with single-digit odds find themselves on the far outside of the starting gate. Sovereignty (5-1) drew the 18 post while Sandman (6-1) is alongside in the 17th position -- the only gate to never produce a Kentucky Derby winner. That means Sandman will have to look to make history next Saturday from that outside post. Last year's winner, Mystik Dan, won from the 3 gate, becoming the first horse to do so since 1998. The longest drought of any post aside from 17's 150-race winless streak belongs to the […]
Lions 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: Most needs were met, but was one edge rusher enough?
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Brad Holmes, for the final time this weekend, was on hand Saturday to put a bow on the 2025 NFL Draft, after welcoming seven new players to the Detroit Lions franchise he’s overseen for five of these events now.However, it wouldn’t be draft weekend without Holmes defending his selections and process, despite his track record of success.Advertisement“I think the tough part about it is that the people on the outside, they have very limited information about the decisions that we make and we have all the information which goes into that decision,” he said. “Also, not just the information that’s available, but also the work that we have to put into it. … And so someone that doesn’t do that work or has that information available to them, they don’t know that, so they’re going to […]
