NBA Finals ticket prices: Get-in cost for Games 1, 2 in San Antonio dropping while seats in New York increasingly expensive
New York Knicks fans have infiltrated opposing arenas throughout their team’s storybook playoff run. With ticket prices at Madison Square Garden out of reach for many Knicks lifers, several have hit the road to get their postseason fix.
Perhaps that will happen again in the NBA Finals, especially now that, according to Gametime data from Monday morning, the get-in cost for Games 1 and 2 in San Antonio is dropping while seats in MSG are increasingly expensive.
Just two days ago, on Saturday evening, the get-in price for Wednesday’s series opener between the Spurs and Knicks was sitting at $1,905. Friday’s Game 2? Even higher: $2,044.
But, as of Monday morning, the get-in cost for the second game of the series was down a more manageable $1,280. Plus, more notably, fans get can now buy their way into Game 1 for under $1K, as the get-in cost for that highly anticipated showdown at Frost Bank Center has plummeted all the way to $992.
The median-priced tickets being sold, however, are still remarkably high for those games in San Antonio: $3,144 for Game 1 and $3,583 for Game 2. But it’s worth noting that those figures are still smaller than the ones in that category two days ago, and that they’re dwarfed by the median-priced tickets at MSG, which are $9,807 for Game 3 and $8,388 for Game 4.
The get-in costs for Games 3 and 4 in New York are $4,160 and $3,761, respectively. They were $4,112 and $3,722 on Saturday evening.
The series is right around the corner. It’s a rematch of the 2025 NBA Cup, and it’s a clash between one of the best bigs (San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama) and one of the best guards (New York’s Jalen Brunson) in the NBA.
The Spurs are back in the Finals for the first time since 2014. Meanwhile, the Knicks haven’t been on this stage in 27 years.
It’s no surprise tickets are in high demand, particularly in the Big Apple.
