Fans of the New York Knicks are eagerly awaiting Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs, which will be the main event — both inside Madison Square Garden and on the streets and in bars of New York. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
The Knicks have reached the finals for the first time since 1999 and lead the series 2-0. Their first home game in this round is the most expensive ticket. The price of the cheapest ticket exceeds the average rent in the largest city in the United States.
As of Sunday evening, the cheapest seats in the upper tier on secondary markets such as StubHub, SeatGeek and VividSeats cost more than $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 who was planning a party in Brooklyn and noted that his school in Queens is also holding such an event. "People who can afford it, we are grateful to them."
