The Knicks punched their ticket to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999 on Monday night.
The ticket-buying frenzy on the secondary market for the Knicks’ first Finals home game at the Garden in 27 years has already begun.
Seats for the first Knicks home game in the Finals – which will be Game 3 on June 8 -- are listing for well over $3,000 on most online resale sites.
And that’s for the nosebleed seats.
The priciest tickets that were on StubHub on Tuesday afternoon were a pair listed for more than $98,000 each (including fees). The seats, which were in the second row at center court, include a complementary buffet, plus champagne and beer.
On SeatGeek, the cheapest ticket for Game 3 on Tuesday afternoon was listed at more than $3,300 with the same $98,000 seats also being listed.
TickPick had center court seats being offered for more than $177,000. Gametime maxed out at more than $93,000 for its top offerings.
The Eastern Conference champion Knicks will host Games 3, 4 and 6 (if necessary) in the Finals regardless of whether Oklahoma City or San Antonio is their opponent. The teams in the Western Conference Finals, which was tied at two games apiece going into Tuesday, both had better regular-season records than the Knicks, and that is how homecourt advantage is determined in the Finals.
Prices for Game 4, which is scheduled for June 10, are along the same lines as Game 3 on the resale sites.
The lowest-priced tickets for Game 6, which is scheduled for June 16, were listed for more than $4,500 on some sites. Expect that number to skyrocket if the Knicks are up 3-2 and have a chance to clinch their first NBA title since 1973.
Some Knicks fans are probably already looking to attend Game 1 either in Oklahoma City or San Antonio to save a few bucks.
On StubHub, Game 1 tickets to a potential June 3 game in either San Antonio or Oklahoma City could be had for about $2,200 a seat.
