The Knicks sold out for the season before the opening tip-off. They've even got 8,000 people lined up for future season tickets when they become available.
But the Times' Richard Sandomir reports that when you look up in the stands there are a lot of empty seats. Hundreds, maybe thousands of them for most games. But that didn't stop the Knicks from claiming their 402nd consecutive sell-out earlier this week.
A lot of it has to do with a mediocre team. Sandomir quotes one fan, who says "My tickets have gone from $27 to $69 and there hasn't been a product upgrade."
The bubble hasn't burst yet, but there are strains showing.
