Chaos Erupts as Trump Security Paralyzes Knicks Fans

President Donald Trump’s attendance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals has thrown Madison Square Garden into chaos, with fans stuck in stalled lines for hours.

Fears that the president’s appearance at the third matchup between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs would create major headaches for the 20,000 fans trying to enter the arena appear to have come true.

Hell Gate reporter Christopher Robbins posted his own video of the crowd jam while noting the eye-watering cost of admission.

“POV you paid $10,000 for a Knicks ticket but can’t get into MSG,” Robbins wrote. Tickets for the game started at roughly $10,000 apiece and some premium tickets have been listed for more than $74,000.

He gets pleasure out of doing just that.

On the other hand, I really don't feel sorry for anyone that can afford to pay 10K-74K a seat game. That is more than some people make in a year.
