Ticket resale prices for upcoming NBA Finals games at Madison Square Garden have fallen in the last 24 hours almost as hard as they rose last week, highlighting the ongoing volatility of the market.
Low-end, get-in prices for Monday’s Game 3 between the Spurs and Knicks now begin at less than $5,000 per ticket. That figure is less than half of the $11,000 minimum from early Saturday in the wake of New York’s dramatic, come-from-behind Game 2 win Friday night.
Wednesday’s Game 4 has held up somewhat more strongly, as a prior, $15,000 get-in price has since sagged to about $9,000. That contest remains a potential clinch scenario for the Knicks to win their first NBA title since 1973, should they complete the sweep over the Spurs.
Game 6 on June 16, if necessary, now carries a get-in price of nearly $11,000, falling only slightly from this past weekend. With a 2–0 series lead, though, the Knicks are eager to close out the NBA Finals before then.
“I think it’s really cool, 27 years since the last Finals here in this building,” said Knicks star Jalen Brunson. “I know the fan base is really excited, as they should be. But as a team, we have more work to do.”
