Detroit Pistons Enforce Geo-Fencing for Playoff Ticket Sales
The Pistons limit ticket purchases to local billing addresses to safeguard home-court advantage and combat fraud ahead of their first playoff games at Little Caesars Arena in six years.
- The Detroit Pistons are restricting primary playoff ticket sales to buyers with billing addresses in Michigan, parts of Ohio, Indiana, and Ontario, Canada.
- The geo-fencing policy aims to prevent Knicks fans from overwhelming Detroit's home crowd during Games 3, 4, and potentially 6 of the playoff series.
- A Pistons spokesman stated the restrictions are also intended to combat bulk purchases by ticket brokers and reduce fraudulent transactions.
- The policy does not block fans from purchasing tickets on secondary markets or Knicks fans living within the designated local areas from attending.
- This marks the Pistons' first playoff appearance at Little Caesars Arena in six years, with the team emphasizing the importance of maintaining a strong home-court atmosphere.
