The New York Knicks are potentially one win away from their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999, and the best seats are commanding eye-watering prices.
Courtside Seats Reach Record Price
Following the Knicks’ 3-0 series lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals, courtside tickets in Madison Square Garden have been listed at an extraordinary price. Two courtside tickets in the centre of the arena were listed at $595,000.
Newsday’s Steve Popper pointed out the cost of the tickets was comparable to buying a house in Oklahoma City.
Knicks Edge Closer to NBA Finals
The Knicks moved closer to making it to the Finals after defeating the Cavs 121-108 on Saturday night. The Knicks are aiming for their first NBA championship since 1973.
The Knicks had a chance to complete a four-game sweep when they faced the Cavs on Monday night.
A pair of courtside tickets recently sold for slightly less.
