Is the Knicks’ streak of sellouts in danger?
The difference between making the Eastern Conference finals and posting 17 wins was reflected in the Knicks’ and Rangers’ season-ticket renewals.
According to a Madison Square Garden spokesman, the Rangers’ season-ticket renewal rate for the upcoming season is 98 percent, a whopping 11 percent higher than the Knicks’ 87 percent rate.
Last year’s season-ticket renewal rate for the Knicks was 92 percent entering Phil Jackson’s first full year as president. The deadline for renewals was Aug. 28.
The Garden still expects both the Knicks and Rangers to sell out of season tickets after which single-game tickets will go on sale.
