Brooklyn Nets who?! Yea, it’s still a Knicks city! I can’t wait for the season to start!! The Knicks season-ticket renewal rate has exceeded 97 percent. Details after the jump…#KnicksTape
Via NBC:
New York has retained its best players, and added some depth in the form of Andrea Bargnani, Metta World Peace, and Beno Udrih to the roster.
The team is not necessarily being projected by most to finish as high as it did a season ago, but based on last year’s success, the faithful that were in it for the long haul aren’t looking to jump off of the bandwagon any time soon.
From Marc Berman of the New York Post:
According to data that will be announced publicly Wednesday on the Garden’s earnings call, the Knicks’ season-ticket renewal rate skyrocketed to more than 97 percent – the highest renewal rate for the club in more than 10 years. Last year’s renewal rate was 95 percent.
Part of that boost may be the notion this is their last, best crack at legitimately competing for a championship in what could be Carmelo Anthony‘s last season as a Knick. The increase occurred despite a 6.4 percent average ticket price hike due to the last stage of the arena’s $1 billion, three-year transformation.
