Knicks’ Josh Hart laments ‘ridiculous’ NBA Finals ticket prices for fans wanting to attend Games 3 and 4 at MSG

Josh Hart feels for New York Knicks fans who are being priced out of attending Games 3 and 4 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden.

“I kind of wish the ticket prices weren’t as crazy as they are,” Hart said when speaking to reporters on Sunday.

“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,” he added. “The cheapest ticket $7,000, $8,000. That’s ridiculous.”

Prices for Game 3 have dropped since going way up following the Knicks’ 105-104 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. As of Saturday afternoon, the get-in price for Monday’s Game 3 at MSG was $9,257. That was a big increase from the $7,142 rate for the least expensive ticket on Thursday afternoon.

However, with President Donald Trump expected to attend Game 3, the demand for tickets has apparently decreased amid concerns about long waits due to security checks and restrictions on bringing bags and other personal items into the arena. The Knicks issued a statement suggesting fans arrive at MSG two hours before game time “to allow additional time for screening and entry.”

According to Gametime as of Sunday afternoon, ticket prices for Game 3 continue to drop. The get-in price for Monday at MSG is $6,033. The most expensive seat available is $95,501.

Hart’s point about tickets being far out of financial reach for most fans still stands, however.

Even understanding that seats for the NBA Finals are at a premium, how many fans could afford more than a month’s salary for one game? And that’s for the least expensive ticket. To get a prime seat costs twice as much…
