The 2026 NBA Finals matchup is now set as the Spurs clinched the Western Conference title. As they clash with the Knicks—a revival of the 1999 matchup—the ticket cost for games at Madison Square Garden continues to climb to eye-popping heights.
A secondary market get-in price for Game 3 on June 8 is now hovering around $4,200 per ticket on multiple marketplaces. That low-end cost increased by about $500 from last week, when the Knicks clinched their spot in the Finals, and is up by $1,700 from two weeks ago. It also exceeds the comparable figure for Super Bowl LX in February.
The other two scheduled games at MSG are showing similar growth. A get-in cost for Game 4 on June 10 that had been around $3,400 last week is now up to more than $3,900, while Game 6 on June 16, if necessary, has risen by about $300 per ticket to $5,300.
Pricing for higher-end inventory, such as lower-level and courtside seats, is tracking much higher. The tickets are frequently listed for more than $40,000 each, particularly for Games 3 and 6, with some listing prices in six figures.
The ongoing escalation in ticket resale costs represents a potent combination of demand factors. The Knicks are making their first NBA Finals appearance in 27 years, and despite long pockets of mediocrity preceding the current, Jalen Brunson-led era, the team’s fandom is both broad and deep.
