Subsequent to the New York Knicks’ narrow 105-104 victory against the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Friday evening, entry costs for Games 3 and 4 at Madison Square Garden saw a dramatic surge.
The prospect of personally witnessing the Knicks secure and commemorate their initial NBA title since 1973 at Madison Square Garden is progressively escalating in price with each passing moment.
Game 3 and 4 Admission Costs Have Already Multiplied by Two
Per information from Gametime, the lowest available ticket price for Game 3 soared to $11,736 subsequent to the conclusion of the Knicks’ Game 2 triumph. By contrast, on Thursday afternoon, this initial entry fee stood at $7,142.
Regarding Game 4, which now presents an opportunity for the home squad to clinch the championship, the starting ticket cost is $14,654. This represents an increase from $7,232, the price observed the day prior to Game 2 taking place.
The peak cost for Monday’s Game 3, specifically for seats located in the lower section, reaches $104,435. This sum escalated from $96,997 on Thursday afternoon, following news reports of President Trump’s anticipated attendance at the match. For Game 4, scheduled for Wednesday, the most premium floor-level seating at MSG carries a price tag of $109,106.
Comparatively, should the Spurs manage to secure a victory in New York, thereby necessitating a Game 5 at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, the minimum entry fee would be $1,918, with top-tier seats valued at $86,893.
Should the championship series extend back to MSG for Game 6, current ticket prices start at $10,741 for entry, peaking at $109,263. However, these figures are expected to climb substantially if the Knicks have an opportunity to clinch both the series and the NBA title on June 16.
Should a decisive Game 7 take place in San Antonio, supporters of the Knicks might find it more economical to travel there. The initial admission cost for this winner-takes-all showdown is presently $3,400, with the priciest ticket reaching $97,310.
