The New York Times, The New York Post, and Yahoo are tracking the intersection of local political perks and high-profile seating arrangements. Meanwhile, Reuters and NBC New York report significant fluctuations in ticket valuations, noting that while some Game 4 prices have plummeted by 70%, other courtside seats for Game 3 fetched $1 million at auction.
