At press time, SeatGeek’s current entry price was $9,990 to sit on the nosebleeds; there were only two listings under $10,000. StubHub’s cheapest tier 100 ticket was $13,115.
It is, by far, the most expensive NBA game in history.
According to the New York Post, citing more information from SeatGeek, the average ticket price of $7,149 for Madison Square Garden games during these Finals (Games 3, 4 and 6) has surpassed the all-time record of $1,965 from 2024 in Dallas.

NBA STAR BACKS NEW YORK MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI FOR BLAMING HIM FOR EXPENSIVE PLAYOFF TICKETS
Only the 2024 Super Bowl LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers had a higher average price ($10,497) than the Knicks’ home games in this series.
President Donald Trump said he will attend Monday’s game.
The Knicks won Game 1 on the road in San Antonio, causing a tremendous spike in prices as Finals fever became even more real than it already was.
So if the Knicks can win Game 2 on the road and return home with a 2-0 series lead, prices could rise even more.
