Knicks Opener Tickets Jump 526% After NBA Title
Cheapest seat for New York's season-opening game against Philadelphia now costs $1,346, reflecting demand after their first NBA title in 53 years.
The cheapest ticket for the New York Knicks' season opener has hit $1,346, according to TicketIQ, a rise of 526% on the price of the least expensive seat for the same fixture last season.
The Knicks host Philadelphia on 20 October in their first home game since winning the NBA title, their first championship in 53 years. Only tickets for games three and four of last season's NBA Finals carried a higher price tag than this opener.
Secondary-market prices tend to track a team's recent success, and a first title in over five decades has left the Knicks' opener valued above every other regular-season fixture on the resale market this autumn.
