New York Knicks Make NBA History With Ticket Price Announcement for Boston Celtics Game 5

As the New York Knicks ride a wave of momentum in the 2025 Eastern Conference Semifinals, their impact is being felt far beyond the hardwood. After securing a 3-1 series lead over the Boston Celtics with a dramatic comeback win in Game 4, the Knicks have not only taken command of the series but also of the secondary ticket market.

The announcement of ticket prices for the upcoming games has sent shockwaves across the NBA world! While Game 5 in Boston remains relatively accessible, with an average resale price hovering around $188, it’s Game 6 in New York that has sparked headlines.

With the Knicks potentially closing out the reigning NBA champions at Madison Square Garden, ticket prices for Game 6 have surged to an eye-watering $900 on average. That number marks the most expensive ticket price for a non-Finals NBA game in league history, according to multiple secondary marketplaces, including Vivid Seats and TickPick.

Earlier in the series, the pricing madness had already begun. Game 3 at MSG saw upper-tier tickets listed for as much as $98,791. While that was an extreme outlier, the cheapest get-in price for that same game was still north of $700, making it the most expensive Knicks ticket ever recorded.

Now, Game 6 is shaping up to surpass that. The reasoning is layered. This is the Knicks’ first chance to punch a ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals since 2000—a drought so long that most Gen Z fans weren’t even born when Latrell Sprewell and Allan Houston were headlining playoff runs. Add to that the Tatum injury clouding Boston’s prospects, and you’ve got a game with historical weight and unpredictable consequences.

The price spike is also a signal of fan hunger. The Knicks, long mocked for dysfunction, now look like one of the grittiest, best-coached teams in the league. With Jalen Brunson playing at an All-NBA level and role players like Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo stepping up, MSG has become a cauldron—and New Yorkers want in.
