Knicks · Access to NYK tix (page 1)

Hey guys,

Hoping to check out a couple of games this season with my son. Anyone have insight into where I could snag two seats at face value - i.e., rather than the big markup on the ticket broker sites? Specific games don't necessarily matter too much.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sometimes Ticketmaster releases face value tickets on a rolling basis for games. You just have to keep checking. That said face value is still expensive.

I would reccomend the barstool seats on the Chase bridge, especially if you can get em center court. Its a pretty good view and the face is somewhat reasonable. Its also a little less tightly packed so you can move around and not feel squished.

What's the view like from the bridge? Never been up there.

Its more directly over the court. I like the view. I think you can see the whole court pretty well- it's less far back then the section below from the court

its great for Hockey. Did not love it for basketball. While your close to the court, your kind of on top of it. Not awful mind you, Might be better than some blue seats, but at MSG its about how much you want to pay.
Might want to check on game day prices and even right before you go in. Prices drop but its kind of a crap shoot.
I don't know about MSG vs other arenas in the country and resales. Better to have half then nothing?

Seats in the 100s are around $700 each...which is certainly quite pricey. I may have to use Nalod's idea and try a last minute scoop up. Is Ticketmaster app the place to do it, or is there a better (cheaper) avenue for ticket procurement?

If I was you I’d go on the road. Even after airfare and hotels it’s still cheaper or the same price as getting tix at MSG. I got Knicks pacers tix at Banknorth Fieldhouse Indianapolis for 5 people it was $120 on stubhub. I saw a Knicks rockets game at Houston it was $40 for myself. Plus you get a trip out of it.

I just looked up Knicks @Hawks for April it’s $25

Man tickets for tommorow night vs. Minnesota (obviously extra juice to this game) are minimum $350. Was paying that much for playoffs a cpl years ago, so its just very expensive to go to a Knick game. But if you keep monitoring ticketmaster for ticket drops there's always a chance you can get some fair face values.

That's so fubar...supply/demand and price elasticity I guess.

Road game is a great idea! Philly is a doable day trip and could be a good game if Embiid is healthy. Or even Wizzies.\
Then again...there's just something about the Garden energy that is worth the extra $...imo.

Fly round trip for two to ATL, overnight in a downtown hotel, dinner, etc.......to sit in the nosebleeds for $25 per ticket is silly.
If your in another city and the knicks in town, then its a good deal.
5 tickets for $120? Mr big spender1 Trying to impress the inlaws?

PhilC "hey, see the way empty suit Silver instructed the refs to not call the foul on Brunson"
PhilC Father in Law: "I can't see shit from up here, the damn beer cost more than these seats".
PHilC mother in law: "Hush up now, PhilC making the effort! What number is Emmptisuitus Silver? He any good? What country his he from?"
PHilc brother in law: "PhillyC my man! Why that Nalod MOFO ride your ass all the time?
Mrs. PhilC: "He just jealous of my mans economy of words. Sometimes a simple man is a good man, stays home, not wandering....."
PHilc: "Thanks hon, you think they impressed with me getting this tickets, I want to so much make you proud"
Mrs. PhilC: "Hush up, there you go running your mouth to long......."
PhilC: "hey, maybe you and me later can......
Mrs. PhilC: "maybe when we get home,, but not at the red roof inn hon, did you not see the chalk stains on the carpet around that red stain?
PhilC: "Oh baby, thats fine art! Abstract, like that Jackson Pollock guy!?
Mrs. PhilC: "who is that, he play for the Giants or the Jets?"
PhilC Father in Law:"Phil, you just damn cheap! I gotta pee, how my gonna walk all them damn stairs"
PHilC mother in law:"Hush up, Phil spend all this money on these seats, I know the snowstorm made them prices less, and the arena is half empty, but besides the Nazi's and Klan rally in front of the arena, isn't it a lovely evening".
PHilc brother in law: "$27 a ticket? Phil, if you that tight I'd have chipped in. My wife wanted to come. You leave your parents at the Redroof? They Said they wanted in".
PhilC: "Man, they paying for there room but they got free HBO, right?"
PHilc brother in law: "Yeah, and disease in them rooms! Hey, know what? Im Nalod!"
Philc: "What? yeah, I see, that makes sense now!"
PHilc brother in law: "Dumb ass, im just messing with you. But look around, you never know who might be Nalod. might be your boss, your friend, cousin, etc"
PhilC: "Maybe its Adam Silver? or, Maybe David Stern is like Elvis, you know, pretending to be dead?"
PhilC Father in Law: "goddammit I pissed myself!"

One key point for me: It's not just about seeing the Knicks play...I can do that from the best seats ever (i.e., in my Living Room).

For me, it's about seeing the Knicks while feeling the frenetic energy inside MSG. So I am going to plunk down ~$500 and sit in the upper section.
