The drought in the garden is over.
After a long 27 years, marked by the struggles of the Isiah Thomas era and the highs of Linsanity, the New York Knicks are back in the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden.
Honestly, saying New York is buzzing right now might even be an understatement.
“The Finals are going to feel surreal,” shared Olivia Cirio, a social media expert and dedicated Knicks supporter. “I’m just not prepared for what’s about to unfold. Win or lose, this series is going to be a significant part of the Knicks’ history.”
If you’re itching to support Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart in person, there are still last-minute tickets available for all three potential games against the San Antonio Spurs and their star, Victor Wembanyama.
The game schedule is as follows:
Game 3
Monday, June 8th
8:30 pm
Game 4
Wednesday, June 10th
8:30 pm
Game 6
Tuesday, June 16th
8:30 pm
But, as you might expect, ticket prices are… on the expensive side.
In fact, they are the most costly in NBA history.
Right now, the lowest price for a single-game ticket at MSG is $8,079, including fees, per SeatGeek.
Other ticket prices for games at Madison Square Garden start at around $8,190 and $8,417, also inclusive of fees.
Sure, these prices seem outrageous – I mean, a Taylor Swift concert typically costs about $1,000, while the Super Bowl averages around $4,500 – but honestly, it’s tough to quantify the experience of seeing the Knicks in the NBA Finals at MSG for the first time this millennium, especially when they’re playing at their peak.
This is beyond a bucket list experience; it’s a dream.
“Nothing compares to the energy during a Knicks playoff game,” Cirio explained. “The crowd’s roar, fans jumping with every shot, the organist leading chants—it’s like being swept up in history. If you’ve got the means, it’s worth every penny.”
Bing bong.
