The drought at the Garden is finally over.
After 27 long, long years — from the lows of the Isaiah Thomas era to the giddy highs of Linsanity to the infamous Andrea Bargnani trade — the New York Knicks are playing in the NBA Finals at MSG.
To say New York is excited might be the understatement of the year.
“I think the Finals are going to be surreal,” Post social media guru and Knicks diehard Olivia Silio said. “…you’re not ready for what’s to come. Win or lose, this series will be a part of the Knicks legacy forever.”
If you’d like to be at the Garden cheering on Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart live, last-minute tickets are still available for all three potential NYC contests against Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs.
They’re scheduled to take place:
Game 3
Monday, June 8
8:30 p.m.
Game 4
Wednesday, June 10
8:30 p.m.
Game 6
Tuesday, June 16
8:30 p.m.
As expected, seats are a bit…pricey.
Like “most expensive in NBA history” pricey.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for any one game at MSG was $8,079 including fees on SeatGeek.
Other Madison Square Garden games have seats starting at $8,190 and $8,417 including fees.
While these prices are beyond exorbitant — Taylor Swift concerts typically go for $1,000 and it usually costs around $4,500 to get into the Super Bowl — it’s hard to put a price tag on seeing the Knicks at MSG in the NBA Finals for the first time this Millennium.
This is beyond bucket list. This is the stuff of dreams.
“Nothing compares to Knicks playoff energy,” Silio told us.“…the roar of the crowd, the fans jumping up and down after every shot, the celebrities hyping up the crowd, the MSG organist leading the chants, the announcer after every point. MSG makes you feel like you’re a part of history…if you have the money, it’s totally worth going.”
