a lot of purple, blue & green behind the Knicks bench throughout the entire game, not just after the 3rd quarter.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Do you think paying customers will actually stop showing up en masse? Especially if they've already paid?

How about the fans have a class action lawsuit against MSG for wasting their time and money?

To be honest...people HAVE stopped going. We've had a couple of home games here where it's been reported that attendance has been in the 12-14,000 range. Tickets sold remain anywhere from 17,000 up to capacity but you have to remember that reported attendance is tickets sold and not actual butts in the seats.

The Garden has sounded quite empty the past few home games. That's factorial right there.

What is sad is that attendance is worse now than in the Layden years.

Stats

This numbers represent how MSG marketing is working selling the tix and they are good at that.
It is not so difficult with majority of tickets distributed to corps for their public relation departments and to season tickets holders.
But this is not a representation of attendance and I don’t think anybody interested in having one.

if you've already paid, even better... who wants to sit through that garbage night after night? the money's gone down the toilet regardless... just for 1 game if all the season ticket holders were to hold a boycott, you might just get Dolan's attention... it's obvious the boos & "Fire Isiah" chants do nothing as long as the fans keep coming to watch... i happen to think a quiet, empty arena would have more of an effect than a packed loud, booing one.

U guys don't understand!!!...

One day, Andrew and I went at it about some obscure free agent rule, I thought I knew what I was talking about and thought I had the research to back it up...I was completely wrong..Andrew found the rule on NBA.com in some free agent reference guide...Totally blew me away....Knicks attendance stat is nothing...

How many tickets are going in open trade?
I guess 2-3K.
So this numbers are not telling at all.

the other thing I just thought of- and I noticed it last night with the new starting line up preview- is they've got T Mobile in their with their fav five thing- I'd suggest writing into T Mobile, and other sponsors, and say as a Knick fan, you find their sponsorship of the disgraceful knick fan a turn off and won't consider doing business with them.

I doubt if the small number of die hards here on UK would be enough, but vocal minorities can prevail (See Prohibition)
