The New York Knicks are back in the playoff spotlight—and fans are paying a premium for the experience. As the Knicks prepare to host the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, ticket prices for the highly anticipated matchup have surged to historic levels, with some listings on the secondary market approaching six figures.

What began as an already expensive playoff series has turned into a gold rush. According to data from ticket resale platforms, the cheapest seat for Game 3 was around $479 before the series started. As the Knicks stormed to a 2-0 lead, that number exploded. By Friday, the average resale ticket price had soared to $1,956, with premium courtside seats fetching $54,500. The most outrageous listing? A jaw-dropping $98,791.

Unsurprisingly, fans took to social media in disbelief. “For that price, I better get a jersey and a few minutes off the bench,” joked one fan. Others demanded all-time legends like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Magic Johnson be included in the price tag.

A Perfect Storm: Historic Performance Meets Hungry Fanbase

The Knicks have not reached the Eastern Conference Finals since 2000, and their recent dominance over the defending champion Celtics has ignited the city. Both Games 1 and 2 saw the Celtics hold 20-point leads—only to collapse in the final quarter and overtime as the Knicks staged gritty comebacks.

With Madison Square Garden ready to host its biggest playoff moment in over two decades, demand has reached fever pitch. Victory Live reported that prices rose 50% in a single night after New York’s Game 2 win. Even tickets for Game 4 are fetching over $1,700 on average.

For Knicks fans, the price isn’t just about a seat—it’s about being part of a historic run. “$704 just to scream at the refs? Worth every penny,” one supporter wrote. Another added, “New York fans will sell everything to be in that building. And they’ll still sell it out.”

Nostalgia and the Business of Basketball

Beyond the dollars and drama, the playoff run has triggered waves of nostalgia. Searches for “Roundball Rock”—the classic NBC NBA theme—are up over 600%, as fans look ahead to the network’s return to NBA broadcasting next season. Combine that with gritty, comeback basketball and a chance to dethrone the defending champs, and it’s easy to see why demand is so high.

Still, the sky-high prices raise broader concerns. Is the modern NBA pricing out its core fanbase? In the 1990s, a playoff ticket might cost $25. Even factoring in inflation, that’s nowhere near today’s market. While secondary ticket platforms thrive, average fans are left wondering whether passion alone is enough to afford a seat.

Regardless, Madison Square Garden will be packed on Game 3 night—with celebrities, die-hards, and likely some fans who broke the bank to witness a piece of Knicks history.
