  • $992 is now enough to get into Game 1 in San Antonio, down from $1,905 on Saturday, while Game 2 fell to $1,280 from $2,044, according to Monday Gametime data.
  • Those declines still leave San Antonio median resale prices elevated at $3,144 for Game 1 and $3,583 for Game 2, though both are below levels seen two days earlier.
  • New York moved the other way: get-in prices for Games 3 and 4 at Madison Square Garden rose to $4,160 and $3,761 from $4,112 and $3,722, with median prices at $9,807 and $8,388.
  • The split reflects heavier pricing pressure in Manhattan as the Spurs return to the Finals for the first time since 2014 and the Knicks reach the stage for the first time in 27 years.
Will the Knicks' historic championship drought be broken by a team playing in front of fans who were priced out of their own arena?
