Knicks fans are ready to watch their team in the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.
But the question is: How much will it cost to get into MSG?
Get-in prices for Games 3 and 4, as of Tuesday morning, are the highest in NBA history, according to one ticket outlet.

For Game 4 two days later, the cheapest ticket costs $3,543 at SeatGeek.
TickPick revealed after the Knicks secured their sweep of the Cavaliers in the conference finals Monday night that the get-in prices for Games 3 and 4 were $3,745 and $3,464, respectively, which would be “the most expensive NBA tickets on record.”
If the Finals reaches six games, fans would have to fork up over $4,984 at SeatGeek for that June 16 clash.
It’s a stark contrast to 10 years ago when Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors faced off in the 2016 NBA Finals and the average price to get into those games was $880.
Last year, when the Thunder and Pacers clashed, the average ticket price was $1,147, according to TickPick.

The Knicks have dominated since falling behind 2-1 to the Hawks in the first round, winning 11 straight games thanks to their back-to-back sweeps of the Sixers and Cavaliers.
Jalen Brunson led the way against the Cavaliers, bringing home Eastern Conference finals MVP honors. He’s averaging 26.6 points and 6.6 assists per game this postseason.
