Now, I know that Philly fans may try to crash this lottery and get revenge for the home games that the Knicks won. But New York is actually a sports town and we are giving our tickets to sports fans. So We will verify eligibility using a variety of methods to make sure that only New Yorkers are purchasing these tickets. We want to open the tournament to working people who couldn't otherwise afford it, not to scalpers. That's why we're making tickets non transferable and we'll dispense them directly to winners at the bus boarding location. (08:26–08:34)
