NBA Finals: Knicks vs. Spurs ticket prices skyrocket
The New York Knicks' first NBA Finals appearance since 1999 and a 2-0 series lead have made Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs the most anticipated event. The game will take place on June 8, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Demand for tickets is enormous. On Sunday evening, on secondary markets such as StubHub, SeatGeek, and VividSeats, the cheapest seats in the upper deck cost over $6,000. Courtside seats will cost more than $75,000.
"I don't care who you are, that's a lot of money for a ticket," said guard Jose Alvarado, a New York native. He plans a party in Brooklyn and noted that his school in Queens will also host an event. "We are grateful to those who can afford it."
Special attention is drawn to the matchup between Spurs star Victor Wembanyama and Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns. In previous games, Wembanyama put heavy pressure on Towns.
Knicks head coach Mike Brown expressed satisfaction with the team's preparation after practice. The support of fans in New York is expected to provide an additional boost.
The streets and bars of the city are preparing for the game. Many fans who were unable to buy tickets plan to watch the game in public places.
This is the Knicks' first Finals series since 1999. The team leads 2-0. A win in Game 3 would bring them closer to a championship.
