Just when there is seemingly a ceiling on how high tickets can go for NBA Finals tickets at Madison Square Garden, the escalating madness around Knicks fandom still finds an entirely new level.
Get-in pricing for Games 3, 4, and 6, if necessary, at MSG took another massive jump on multiple ticket resale marketplaces in the wake of the Knicks’ 105–95 road win over the Spurs in Game 1. As of Thursday afternoon, low-end tickets for Monday’s Game 3 started at about $8,200, nearly doubling the comparable figure of $4,200 from just three days ago, and more than tripling the market level from less than three weeks ago.
Game 4 on June 10—which is now a potential clinching scenario should the Knicks complete another postseason sweep—has taken an even bigger leap. Pricing that began at $3,900 on Monday for that contest has now soared to around $8,500 per ticket across multiple markets.
Game 6 on June 16, still a tentative contest based on the outcome of the series, has pricing beginning at about $9,000 per ticket, up from $5,300 at the start of this week.
