The first NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden this millennium could be the hottest ticket of all time. The New York Knicks, seeking their first title in 53 years, host Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday.
At publication, SeatGeek's get-in price was $9,990 for nosebleeds, with only two listings under $10,000. StubHub's cheapest 100-level ticket was $13,115. The average ticket price of $7,149 for MSG games during this Finals has shattered the previous record of $1,965 from 2024 in Dallas.
Only Super Bowl LVIII in 2024 had a higher average price ($10,497) than these Knicks home games. President Donald Trump confirmed he will attend Monday's game. If the Knicks win Game 2 and return home with a 2-0 series lead, prices could climb even higher.
