Knicks tickets officially went on sale this afternoon. Loyal Knicks fans supported this franchise through two decades of darkness… losing season after losing season. Now, after a championship, MSG is charging more than $1,000 per ticket on Opening Night for the worst seats in the building (400 section in the upper-deck) Mind you, this is NOT resale. These are Standard Admission via Ticketmaster. Secondary-market sellers charging outrageous prices is one thing. There is practically nothing MSG can to limit re-sellers. But these aren’t resale tickets—MSG itself, directly, is charging fans $1,039.50 apiece for seats in the 400s. That’s $4,158 for a family of four. (Just for the tickets - not to mention the overpriced food and drinks.) A multibillion-dollar franchise pricing its own non-wealthy fans out of the Garden on a night the fanbase has been dreaming about for 50 years. Shameful.
