Summary
$2,000 nosebleed seats for Knicks home Finals games underscore how scarce Madison Square Garden tickets have become, with courtside spots largely out of reach for ordinary buyers.
11 straight Knicks wins and the franchise's first NBA Finals appearance in 27 years have revived the mystique of floor seats during the team's unexpected surge.
Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman, Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner are among the celebrity regulars, while Spike Lee stands out for buying his own seats.
Madison Square Garden has not explained how the tiny pool of courtside seats is allocated, despite repeated requests for comment.
