The energy at Madison Square Garden is incredible as the Knicks prepare for Game 3 against the Celtics this Saturday, though the prices are firmly in the high range, accessible mainly to those with significant funds.
Ticket demand is soaring, with costs starting at around $590 even for standing room only at this iconic venue, as noted by Vivid Seats.
The cheapest seat that actually guarantees a place to sit is going for $628, located in row 7 of Section 413.
This is an eye-watering amount for many, especially when factoring in additional fees, pushing the total to over $800 for a spot in the nosebleeds during Game 3.
If you hope to rub elbows with celebrities like Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan, or Mariska Hargitay while potentially heckling Jason Tatum, floor seats can be yours for a staggering $5,693 before fees.
Historically, playoff tickets at the Garden have never been cheap, but this particular matchup is causing more buzz and frenzy than usual.
Keep up with the Knicks’ journey in the 2025 NBA Playoffs
The Knicks, already overcoming a significant hurdle by erasing 20-point deficits in each of the first two games, now return to Midtown with a 2-0 lead. Their playoff journey has not seen the Eastern Conference Finals since 2000, and they haven’t appeared in the NBA Finals since 1999.
Last season, they made it to Game 7 of the second round but were defeated by the Pacers.
Interestingly, the average ticket price for one of those games last year hovered around $959.
As of now, it’s been a long 51 years since the Knicks last clinched an NBA Championship, marking the fifth-longest championship drought in the league’s history.
