Knicks fans paid between $1,350 and $20,000 for Game 3 seats at Madison Square Garden on June 8, 2026. General public sales were limited, and secondary-market prices reached $25,000 for Game 4 before the series began. Business owner Cara Swaby said she paid $20,000 for courtside seats.
She has followed the team since moving to the U.S. at age nine and recalled watching Patrick Ewing and John Starks.
New York still leads the series 2-1, with Game 4 scheduled at Madison Square Garden on June 10. Fans interviewed outside the arena described the run as a unifying event for the city after years of poor team performance. One attendee who flew in from Atlanta said he had followed the Knicks since immigrating from Guyana in the 1990s.
