The Knicks can no longer sweep the NBA Finals, and as a result, money in the ticket resale market is quickly shifting toward a potential Game 6 next week at Madison Square Garden.
New York’s 115–111 loss to San Antonio in Game 3 on Monday generated yet another day of chaotic movement across an already frenetic ticket market for the event.
As of Tuesday morning, low-end, get-in pricing for Wednesday’s Game 4 sank below $4,800 per ticket. That’s less than a third of where the market was on Saturday and just over half the level on Monday. The precipitous drop is happening as Game 4 is no longer a potential clinching scenario as the Knicks seek their first NBA title since 1973.
A potential Game 6 on June 16, meanwhile, is seeing another resurgence in pricing after a slight dip prior to Monday’s Game 3—which included a heavy show of security for a visit by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Game 6, if necessary, now carries a get-in price of nearly $12,000 per ticket—up from $11,000 on Monday and roughly even with Saturday—and now represents the last remaining possibility for a title clinch by the Knicks at home.
