How long has Timothee Chalamet had Knicks season tickets?

Chalamet’s first time as a Knicks season ticket holder was in 2010. Back then, per GQ, Chalamet landed a Disney commercial and his first big check went to season tickets in the nosebleeds. At the time, The Decision was fast approaching and Chalamet believed that LeBron James would be on his way to New York. 

Chalamet grew up near Madison Square Garden, as he was born in New York City and went to LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. He stayed in New York for college, first going to Columbia, then transferring to NYU and later stopping classes to act full-time. 

As a kid, Chalamet wound up selling many of his season tickets. Today, he is often invited to be a part of the Knicks’ celebrity row. It’s unclear whether he still pays for season tickets today.
