Summary

  • $7,149 is the average price for Knicks home games in this NBA Finals, according to SeatGeek data cited by the New York Post, making Madison Square Garden's Game 3 the priciest NBA ticket on record.
  • $9,990 was the get-in price on SeatGeek at publication, with only two listings below $10,000, while StubHub's cheapest 100-level seat was $13,115.
  • New York's first Finals appearance since 1999 and its Game 1 road win over San Antonio fueled the surge, with prices likely to climb further if the Knicks take Game 2 and return home up 2-0.
  • $1,965 was the previous NBA average-ticket record, set in Dallas in 2024; only Super Bowl LVIII in 2024 had a higher average price than the Knicks' home games this series at $10,497.
  • Monday's Game 3 will also draw President Donald Trump, who said he plans to attend after receiving an invitation from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.
