$279,804 bought two courtside seats on StubHub for a potential Knicks home NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden, one of the earliest blockbuster resale deals of New York's playoff run.
The surge reflects a team on the brink of its first Finals appearance since 1999: New York leads Cleveland 3-0 in the Eastern Conference finals and can clinch on Memorial Day.
Demand is broad across the arena, not just courtside — the cheapest StubHub ticket for that possible Game 3 at MSG was $3,554 in Section 418 as of Sunday night.
Comparable Finals pricing elsewhere remains far lower: a potential Game 1 in Oklahoma City started at $1,252, while one floor seat there was listed at $32,106.
The frenzy underscores the rarity of the moment for a franchise that has not won an NBA title in 53 years and has reached the Finals only twice since 1973.
With Finals tickets nearing $300,000, is this the most expensive championship run in NBA history?
