Knicks NBA Finals tickets soar to record $10,000‑plus prices at Madison Square Garden

Secondary‑market tickets for the New York Knicks' NBA Finals games at Madison Square Garden have reached unprecedented levels. Reported minimum prices for Game 3 range from $7,000 to $11,000, while Game 4 tickets are listed above $10,000. The most expensive seats have sold for six figures, including a charity‑auction courtside ticket that fetched $500,000.

The Knicks are just two wins away from their first championship since 1973, prompting players such as Josh Hart to call the pricing “absurd” and fans to consider alternatives like watch parties or traveling to San Antonio for cheaper access. The price surge reflects a rapid increase from a pre‑series floor of $3,900, climbing to $8,000 after the first win and projected to exceed $14,000 if a sweep occurs.

The exorbitant costs have sparked debate about fan accessibility and the commercialization of marquee sporting events.
