With the postseason run the New York Knicks are on, the possibility of the team reaching the finals is pretty high. And with that would come exorbitant ticket prices at Madison Square Garden.
Currently gearing up to put the beats on the Cleveland Cavaliers again on May 25, the prices for Knicks’ courtside seats at Madison Square Garden for the finals have been revealed. Read on to discover how much courtside tickets can cost, as well as what else is going on with the Knicks this postseason.
Why are the Knicks headed to the NBA Finals?
Well, let’s slow our horses here. They aren’t there quite yet. They currently are leading the Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers 3-0. The Knicks need one more win tomorrow to win the series and advance. If not, the Cavaliers have to win every remaining game in the series to head to the finals. History is on the Knicks’ side, though; no NBA team ever has come back from a 3-0 series deficit to win it all.
If the Knicks go to the finals, how much would tickets cost?
Expensive, to say the least. StubHub currently lists the cheapest seats at $3,525. That’s following previous reports about how Knicks tickets at MSG rose for their series against the Cavaliers, with $740 being the price just to get in the building.
What would it cost to sit courtside at the first Knicks Finals game?
According to sports business analyst Darren Rovell, two courtside seats have sold on StubHub for $279,804. That’s $139,902 per seat.
Why would these tickets cost so much?
Aside from it being because it’s the literal NBA Finals, the reason these tickets probably cost so much is due to the Knicks playing in the Finals at MSG for the first time in 27 years.
How can I get tickets to a Knicks’ Finals game?
Assuming they win and advance, you can purchase Knicks tickets on StubHub. They currently have tickets available for three Finals home games.
