At the time of publication, SeatGeek’s current entry price was $9,990 to sit in the Nosebleeds – there were only two listings below $10,000. StubHub’s cheapest tier 100 ticket was $13,115.
This is by far the most expensive NBA game of all time.
According to the New York Post, citing additional information from SeatGeek, the average ticket price of $7,149 for Madison Square Garden games during this finale (Games 3, 4 and 6) shattered Dallas’ 2024 all-time record of $1,965.

Only Super Bowl LVIII in 2024 between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers had a higher average price ($10,497) than the Knicks’ home games in that series.
President Donald Trump said he would be at Monday’s game.
The Knicks won the first game on the road in San Antonio, causing a huge price spike as Finals fever became even more real than it already was.
So, if the Knicks manage to win Game 2 on the road and come home with a 2-0 series lead, prices could rise even further.
