Emily Ratajkowski can no longer get complimentary basketball tickets after leaving games early

Model Emily Ratajkowski has been denied future free tickets to sporting events at Madison Square Garden after leaving an event early.

Getting free front row tickets to a coveted sporting event would be a dream for millions, but Emily Ratajkowski may have just lost that privilege.

If you are a basketball fan, you might be used to seeing celebrities courtside, showing off their outfits and even getting a shoutout on jumbotron.

But if you are a New York Knicks fan, don’t expect to see model Emily Ratajkowski courtside in Madison Square Garden (MSG) anymore.

According to a source who spoke to Page Six, she has been denied future free tickets for leaving a New York Knicks vs Miami Heat game early in November.

And this wasn’t just any old 25-point blow out, where you would expect some soft fans might head for the exit to beat the traffic.

This is a game that went down to the final possession, with Heat’s Jimmy Butler missing the game-winning shot by half an inch.

On top of this, the Knicks had clawed themselves back into the game out of a 21-point deficit, to proudly win 100-98.

For regular season, basketball doesn’t get better than this.

The source said the top model and her friend Irina Shayk left the game with only a few minutes left on the clock for an unknown reason.

After leaving the game, Ratajkowski put in for free New York Rangers ice hockey tickets at MSG, but unfortunately didn’t get the coveted seats. Oh darn, such a shame.

An MSG spokesperson had their own cheeky remark to make when Page Six approached them.

“Emily was not offered comped tickets for the Rangers,” they said, adding: “She was offered, and is welcome, to buy great seats any time.”

“They left early! I mean, people notice when the two of them walk out together,” an insider also told the publication. “That was a big game against Miami."

However, a source also told the publication the model wasn’t even aware that there had been any issue.

“Emily was unaware of any issue, given that she and Irina left the game early due to a childcare issue at home,” they said.

And as far as reasons go, this is more than acceptable so MSG might be a little bit harsh on their punishment here.

Then again, as the courtside regular tickets cost a good couple thousand, it is likely the model can afford them if she really wants to go.
