The Brooklyn native has been a religious Knicks fan for years, and because of his fervent fandom in the Knickerbockers, he has access to Celebrity Row tickets. However, many fans have questioned how much Morgan, along with the rest of the notables in Celebrity Row,\u00a0pays for these prized tickets.<\/p>\n

Along with that question, many viewers have asked what is entailed with earned tickets to Celebrity Row. As it turns out, there’s more to landing playoff tickets on the row versus solely being famous.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the process behind landing Celebrity Row tickets to this year’s NBA Finals.<\/p>\n

How much does Tracy Morgan pay for Knicks NBA Finals tickets?<\/p>\n

At the moment, it is unclear the sum of money Mordan has dished out for courtside seats at the 2026 NBA Finals. Morgan has been a part of the group of Madison Square Garden’s biggest names and often sits in an area designated as “Celebrity Row.”<\/p>\n

There are some stipulations for those who have access to sit in celebrity row, according to Front Office Sports. Here is an explainer that describes the process entailed in sitting in the prized row.<\/p>\n

How much do Tracy Morgan’s seats cost?<\/p>\n

During the regular season, if a personality is selected to be worthy of Celebrity Row, the seat prices for a regular season game range from $4,000 to $6,000, according to Secret NYC<\/a>. In the playoffs, the price tag for a courtside seat can reportedly exceed $30,000 and stretch as far as north of $75,000, according to Stubhub’s Game 3 tickets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ahead of New York’s Game 3, the Garden of Dreams Foundation is hosting an auction of one celebrity row seat. The current bid, as of June 5, is $500,000, according to the auction site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is unknown whether Morgan or any other big-name celebrity gets any kind of discount for being such a regular face and longtime fan of the Knicks. However, the most passionate superfan celebrities get access to a section of Madison Square Garden nicknamed Celebrity Row.<\/p>\n

Does Tracy Morgan have season tickets?<\/p>\n

Despite being such a regular sight at Madison Square Garden, it’s not fully known whether Morgan has season tickets. During the regular season, he does not attend every game (most likely due to his work schedule), so spending a fortune on season tickets may not make the most sense for him.<\/p>\n

Along with that, Morgan doesn’t need season tickets since he is within that select group of New York celebrities who have access to their special row “based on their broad approval and level of popularity,”\u00a0according to the New York Post<\/a>. Morgan is one of a few celebrities, like Timothee Chalamet and Ben Stiller, who get first crack at attending games due to their loyalty to the franchise.<\/p>\n

Typically, Morgan receives two courtside tickets on Celebrity Row. He generally gifts the other ticket either to his friend, cousin, or his daughter, per the NY Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n
