Summary
$1.2 million to $1.6 million is the estimated cost to book Madison Square Garden for two days, according to industry insiders familiar with hosting events at the venue.
$600,000 to $800,000 of that total would be base rent alone, with the full bill likely excluding the added cost of shutting down the arena for setup.
Insurance would add further expense, with minimum coverage for accidents, property damage or other disruptions potentially costing more than $10,000.
A recent benchmark shows the Garden charged $649,867 in rent for President Trump's 2024 rally, underscoring that venue rent is only part of the total event cost.
