Resale ticket prices were dropping on Sunday ahead of the Knicks’ first NBA Finals home game since 1999.
But it would still have cost at least $6,000 for fans to snag a seat to see the Knicks host the Spurs in Game 3 on Monday night at Madison Square Garden in front of a jazzed-up crowd that will include President Donald Trump.
About 26 hours before tipoff, nose-bleed tickets for Game 3 were being offered for a low of $5,938 on the resale site TickPick. On Saturday, similar seats in the upper reaches of the Garden seating area were listed for about $10,000.
The priciest seats on TickPick were being listed at $55,890. Earlier in the week, Game 3 tickets were being offered on resale sites for more than $100,000 each. It is not clear if those tickets were bought, were removed for resale or had their prices reduced by would-be sellers.
On other sites for Game 3, StubHub had tickets for sale at $7,782 on the low end and more than $47,000 on the high end. On SeatGeek, prices ranged from $6,303 to $75,621.
The Knicks lead San Antonio 2-0 in the best-of-seven series. Resale ticket prices are still high for Wednesday’s Game 4 and a possible Game 6 on June 16 because fans are hoping one of those could be the night when the Knicks clinch their first NBA title since 1973.
TickPick has the least expensive Game 4 tickets at $9,712 a pop. Other sites had their least expensive tickets prices between $10,000-$11,000.
For Game 6, there were no tickets being listed for less than the $11,174 that could snag you a pair on TickPick.
For those lucky enough to land Game 3 tickets, MSG has advised fans to arrive early for Monday’s game because special screening will be employed by the Secret Service ahead of Trump’s scheduled attendance.
Knicks guard Josh Hart lamented the high prices of resale tickets on Sunday.
"I kind of wish the ticket prices weren't as crazy as they are," Hart said. "I feel like a lot of people who have been waiting for this moment for a very long time unfortunately aren't able to get into the building. The cheapest ticket [is] $7,000, $8,000. That's ridiculous."
