Supermodel Emily Ratajkowski has found herself off the exclusive guest list for “Celebrity Row” at Madison Square Garden. According to sources, after Ratajkowski and her model friend Irina Shayk decided to leave a thrilling Knicks game a few minutes before the end, Ratajkowski made a request for comped seats to a Rangers game at MSG but was denied. While she is still welcome to attend events at MSG, she will now have to purchase tickets like any regular customer. It seems that leaving the game early may have cost Ratajkowski her VIP status at the iconic New York venue.
Sources previously revealed that Ratajkowski and Shayk left their courtside seats with only minutes remaining in the game on November 24. Little did they know, their untimely exit came just as the Knicks mounted an incredible comeback, clinching a victory against the Heat after being down by 21 points. This matchup was highly regarded as the best game of the season so far. While the MSG spokesperson denied that Ratajkowski was offered comped tickets for the Rangers, they did confirm that she is welcome to purchase great seats for any event.
It is important to note that sources have highlighted Ratajkowski’s ongoing invitation to buy seats for future events. Floor seats at MSG can cost thousands of dollars, but typically, celebrities are granted complimentary VIP spots. Irina Shayk shared pictures on social media from that evening, mainly showcasing their outfits, including one of them on a forklift in the depths of Madison Square Garden. During the game, the models were prominently displayed on the jumbotron, laughing and waving to the crowd. Ratajkowski’s representative did not comment on the matter, but a source claimed that she left the game early due to a childcare issue at home, unaware of the brewing issue. However, another source contested this, suggesting that the backstage pictures were taken as they exited the venue, where they would only have access under specific circumstances. Yet another source insisted that those pictures were taken during halftime.
Witnesses and insiders alike noticed Ratajkowski and Shayk leaving the Knicks game together, drawing attention to their unexpected early departure. “They left early! I mean, people notice when the two of them walk out together,” remarked an insider. The magnitude of the game against Miami only heightened the significance of their exit. It is worth mentioning that Ratajkowski has previously attended MSG on a date with Pete Davidson. While the news may be disheartening for the supermodel, as securing primo floor seats becomes nearly impossible, she may find solace in the fact that superfan Spike Lee occasionally puts his tickets up for sale.
Emily Ratajkowski’s premature departure from the Knicks game has consequences beyond missing the matchup’s thrilling conclusion. Her denied request for comped seats to a Rangers game at MSG serves as a reminder that even the most prominent figures must abide by the venue’s rules. Ratajkowski may need to reevaluate her commitment to being a loyal and engaged fan if she wants to regain her spot on the VIP list.
