Knicks fans are ready to watch their team in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the question is: How much will it cost to get into MSG?<\/p>\n

Get-in prices for Games 3 and 4, as of Tuesday morning, are the highest in NBA history, according to one ticket outlet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The cheapest ticket for Game 3 at MSG on June 8 costs $3,686 at SeatGeek <\/a>including fees, at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

For Game 4 two days later, the cheapest ticket costs $3,543 at SeatGeek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TickPick revealed<\/a> after the Knicks secured their sweep of the Cavaliers in the conference finals Monday night that the get-in prices for Games 3 and 4 were $3,745 and $3,464, respectively, which would be \u201cthe most expensive NBA tickets on record.\u201d<\/p>\n

If the Finals reaches six games, fans would have to fork up over $4,984 at SeatGeek for that June 16 clash.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a stark contrast to 10 years ago when Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors faced off in the 2016 NBA Finals and the average price to get into those games was $880.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, when the Thunder and Pacers clashed, the average ticket price was $1,147, according to TickPick.<\/p>\n

For some, that price could be worth it. For younger Knicks fans, this is first time their team has reached the Finals and the 27-year gap shows it\u2019s not a lock to happen again anytime soon. <\/p>\n

The Knicks have dominated since falling behind 2-1 to the Hawks in the first round, winning 11 straight games thanks to their back-to-back sweeps of the Sixers and Cavaliers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jalen Brunson led the way against the Cavaliers, bringing home Eastern Conference finals MVP<\/a> honors. He\u2019s averaging 26.6 points and 6.6 assists per game this postseason.<\/p>\n

But the dominant playoff run was a team effort.<\/p>\n

Even if not all Knicks fans can get into Madison Square Garden during the Finals, Knicks fever will still be felt all through the city and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Knicks fans are ready to watch their team in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244282,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[21,37011,56784,80162,9,11,1104,10,319,54626],"class_list":["post-244281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-nba","tag-nba-finals","tag-nba-playoffs","tag-nba-playoffs-2026","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-new-york-news","tag-sports","tag-ticket-prices"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244281\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244282"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
