MOST INVENTORY
StubHub
StubHub is one of the most popular third-party ticketing sites online and it’s where we’re seeing the largest inventory of Knicks tickets available to purchase. Be prepared to shell out a pretty penny though — the cheapest get-in price for a single Game 3 ticket on StubHub is $10,000 as of this writing.
StubHub lets you search for seats by price, view and perks (I.e. lounge access, complimentary food and drinks, or VIP suites), with all-in pricing. The site’s FanProtect Guarantee, meantime, ensures valid tickets or your money back.
LOWEST PRICES
Vivid Seats
Pricing on Vivid Seats starts at just over $2,000, though that is for the potential Game 5 date in San Antonio. If you’re looking for Knicks MSG tickets on Vivid Seats, the get-in price starts at $9,879 for Game 3 — not exactly cheap but still the lowest price we’re seeing across all the resale sites.
Use our exclusive Billboard promo code BB30 to snag $30 off your purchase at VividSeats.com. The code is valid for new users only. There are a couple of other ways to score discounted New York Knicks tickets on Vivid Seats: sign-up for the site’s mailing list to get a promo code for 10% off or register for the Vivid Seats rewards program, which gets you your eleventh ticket free (in the form of a site credit) after you purchase ten tickets online.
‘DEAL SCORE’
SeatGeek
SeatGeek has Knicks tickets from $10,000 and up for Madison Square Garden seats. The site lets you search for tickets using an interactive seat map, plus filters that allow you to select everything from price range to seat perks and extras. Every New York Knicks ticket is also labeled with a “Deal Score,” which SeatGeek says represents the ticket value based on “pricing, seat location and historical trends.”
A bonus: use our promo code BILLBOARD10 to take $10 off your purchase at SeatGeek.com. SeatGeek guarantees authentic, valid tickets delivered in time for the basketball game or your money back.

What Is the Cheapest Way to Get Knicks Tickets?
Many of the third-party ticketing sites mentioned above have valid promo codes that you can use to score discounted Knicks tickets online. TicketNetwork’s discount code saves you 10% off your order, which is a decent chunk of change with prices now topping $10,000. We just tested out the ENJOY10 promo code on a pair of $12,000 tickets, and TicketNetwork automatically applied the $2,400 discount on the payment page.
Another way to get cheaper Knicks tickets? Be flexible and watch the clock: ticket prices often dip in the minutes leading up to tip-off, as resellers are desperate to unload their stubs before the game starts. If you’re okay with missing the first few possessions, you could find yourself in the arena with discounted tickets before the first quarter is over.
You could also score a deal by buying tickets as a group. Vivid Seats offers a free ticket (in the form of site credit) after you buy ten tickets online. And many resellers also offer discounted pricing if you’re buying a group of seats together.

NBA New York Knicks Officially-Licensed T-Shirt
Knicks NBA finals tickets sold out after the team defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference title to advance to their first NBA championship series since 1999. That’s 27 years since the team’s last finals appearance. Even longer: the 53 years it’s been since the Knicks last won an NBA title (that would be in 1973 if you do the math).
