New York —

Tickets to the NBA Finals in New York are so hot that fans are spending thousands of dollars – even for nosebleed seats.

The cheapest tickets to the New York Knicks home games at Madison Square Garden are selling for nearly $4,000 each, according to secondary marketplace TickPick.

That’s roughly five times the “get-in” price to sit in the cheapest seats at the home of the San Antonio Spurs when the same two teams face off Wednesday night.

And some almost-courtside seats near celebrity row at MSG are listed for $220,000 a pop on SeatGeek, another popular ticket marketplace.
