<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before Game 3 of the NBA Finals tips off Monday night in Madison Square Garden, players and fans alike can’t help but notice the glaring charge of tickets.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After the New York Knicks took a commanding 2-0 series lead over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, ticket costs skyrocketed with the Knicks&#8217; return to MSG as the team looks at a potential sweep for their first championship in 53 years. The cheapest get-in price on secondary and primary ticket marketplaces is currently floating around $5,000 on SeatGeek and Ticketmaster, while some courtside seats have gone for over $100,000. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Knicks guard Josh Hart called out the high prices after his team&#8217;s open practice on Sunday. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I kind of wish the ticket prices weren’t as crazy that they are,&#8221; he <a href="https://x.com/sny_knicks/status/2063663327767589110?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2063663327767589110%7Ctwgr%5Eafd7999aad99b08210c052264245916838eacf1b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbleacherreport.com%2Farticles%2F25435052-josh-hart-calls-out-ridiculous-nba-finals-ticket-prices-knicks-vs-spurs-game-3">said</a>. &#8220;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">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, when the cheapest ticket is $7,000 [or] $8,000.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The cheapest tickets for Game 4, the potential championship-clincher for the Knicks depending on the result of Game 3, are already set at $9,280 on SeatGeek. If the Knicks take a 3-0 lead Monday night, the price to enter Madison Square Garden could exceed $10,000.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A combination of ending one of the NBA’s longest championship droughts, loyalty of the fans, and attendance of a handful of celebrities, along with President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, is to blame for the high prices. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Along with Hart, New York native and Knicks guard Jose Alvarado admitted he won’t be providing tickets for his friends after he already secured seats for his wife, children, brother, and parents.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I see it’s $11,000 [each], I say no,&#8221; Alvarado <a href="https://www.facebook.com/theScore/videos/imagine-being-hit-up-by-everyone-you-know-asking-for-tickets-to-game-3-%EF%B8%8Fpresente/996265866330073/">told</a> reporters when referring to getting some of his friends to the game. “It’s a lot of money … I ain’t doing that. I’ll tell you that much.”</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alvarado isn’t losing any faith in Knicks fans to still support the team, whether it’s from home, at local sports bars, or even outside the arena.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The people that can’t afford it, we improvise,” he <a href="https://www.foxsports.com/articles/nba/spursknicks-game-3-of-the-nba-finals-is-a-hot-ticket-with-the-potential-for-a-wild-scene">told</a> Fox Sports. &#8220;We’re New Yorkers. We’re going to find a way to watch a game, and that’s what we’re doing.”</span></p>
