Knicks courtside seats reach $279,804 ahead of potential NBA Finals berth
The New York Knicks hold a 3-0 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals and need one more victory to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. Two courtside seats for the Knicks' first home game in the series sold on the secondary market for $279,804.
The Knicks last appeared in the NBA Finals in 1999, when they lost to the San Antonio Spurs in five games. Their most recent championship came in 1973. The franchise has not won a title in 53 years.
Cheapest available tickets for a potential Game 3 at Madison Square Garden start at $3,554 in the upper level. For comparison, the lowest listed price for a possible Game 1 at the Oklahoma City Thunder's home arena is $1,252, with one courtside seat listed at $32,106.
The Knicks can clinch their berth on Memorial Day when they face the Cavaliers in Game 4 in Cleveland. The Western Conference Finals between the Thunder and San Antonio Spurs remain ongoing, with the higher seed hosting the first two games of the NBA Finals.
