Knicks Fans Weigh Selling NBA Finals Seats for Up to $20,000 as MSG Hosts Rare Title Run

Summary
$20,000 resale prices are forcing some longtime Knicks season-ticket holders to choose between attending the NBA Finals and cashing out a windfall.
Madison Square Garden seat owners can buy Finals tickets at face value, creating a huge gap between what loyal fans pay and what the secondary market may offer.
For many, the profit could cover major expenses such as school tuition, a kitchen renovation or all of next season’s home games.
The dilemma is sharpened by the rarity of the moment: New York is hosting the Spurs in what many fans see as a once-in-a-lifetime Knicks championship chance.
