No tricks: Knicks fans still want their tix fix

There is evidence some are buying hard into the Knicks’ patient rebuilding plan, despite five straight seasons of missing the playoffs.

According to a Garden official, the season-ticket renewal rate hit 95 percent with training camp set to get underway Monday. That’s up from an 89 percent renewal rate last season and one of the Knicks’ highest renewal rates in years. It’s a stunner, considering their star player, Kristaps Porzingis, has no timetable for his return and the Knicks are expected to land in the lottery again.

The uptick doesn’t mean the Knicks will be a nightly Garden sellout of 19,812. The Garden sold out just half the home games last season (21), though usually coming within less than 1,000 of capacity. However, prior to last season, the Knicks had sold out 277 of 278 games — the lone non-sellout coming during a March 2016 blizzard.

A year ago, the Knicks moved away from a strictly season-ticket-based model. The franchise took a chunk of its past season tickets and made them single-game tickets — which led to more tourists filling the upper reaches last season.

In addition to the Knicks’ half-season ticket plan and 11-game mini-plan, the team also just introduced a concept called “Pick Plan.”

Fans can bundle between five and 11 games in a package, picking their own games at differently priced seats. The Knicks are on tiered pricing now, so a six-game “Pick Plan’’ that has LeBron James’ Lakers included is priced higher than one that doesn’t.
