This is what Chalamet money looks like. <\/p>\n

When the Knicks host the Spurs in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Monday, it will be the most expensive game in NBA Finals history \u2014\u00a0and very nearly sports history.<\/p>\n

The cheapest ticket for the game, according to Seat Geek, is $9,006 and that\u2019s for the upper bowl.<\/p>\n

While courtside seats are not offered on ticket platforms, folks looking for one can place a bid on the NBA website. The highest bidder at time of publish has offered $500,000.<\/p>\n

The tickets aren\u2019t comparable to anything else in NBA Finals history, with tickets in Dallas for the 2024 finals being the second highest with an average of $1,965, per SeatGeek.<\/p>\n

The MSG average right now for tickets sold stands at $7,149 \u2014\u00a0and that number just keeps rising.<\/p>\n

In sports history, only Super Bowl 2024 between the Chiefs and 49ers surpasses the Knicks tickets with an average cost of $10,497, per SeatGeek.<\/p>\n

Games 1, 2, and 6 at MSG all rank among the top eight in all-time average ticket price. <\/p>\n

The Knicks fans\u2019 obsession for the franchise\u2019s first championship in 53 years has been clear throughout this playoff run.<\/p>\n

The Knicks haven\u2019t made it to the NBA Finals in 27 years, meaning at least 25% of the population of New York City wasn\u2019t yet born, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And they haven\u2019t won a title since 1973.<\/p>\n

Ticket prices surged from their $3,900 starting point Monday, per Front Office Sports, to over the $10,000 minimum after the Knicks took Game 1.<\/p>\n

New Yorkers are starting to taste a championship and want a piece of it.<\/p>\n

Another reason for the absurd prices is the clout they carry, according to the The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

This has created a scramble effect on Wall Street, in Big Law, in real estate and among celebrities to just pay $10,000 or more.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re not there, you\u2019re a loser,\u201d Jaclyn Sienna India, founder of concierge agency Sienna Charles, told the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s team has already spent as much as a staggering $176,000 for a single ticket, she said.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will both attend Game 3 of the series.<\/p>\n

Other celebrities like Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, Spike Lee, Ben Stiller and Tracy Morgan could also make their usual courtside appearances.<\/p>\n

While the prices have skyrocketed, the views remain the same from the regular season.<\/p>\n

The aforementioned $10,000 seats have the following view. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Others won\u2019t be as lucky, with many of the seats in the back rows of the 200 level considered obstructed-view tickets.<\/p>\n

The Chase Bridge completely blocks the view of the center-court scoreboard.<\/p>\n

If the series goes past four games, Knicks fans dying to watch an NBA Finals game in person would spend less on flying to San Antonio for the weekend to see Game 5: tickets on SeatGeek for Frost Bank Center start at $1,711, with round-trip flights under $600.<\/p>\n
