$135 to get into section 417 on Friday? Do I really have to say anything else? And they increased ticket sales just because Jeremy Lin had 3 bad games. What the f' is wrong with these people?

And they had the nerve to announce an increase in ticet prices right before the lockout.

Pricks.

those ticket prices are based on the secondary market (stubhub, etc.). the garden itself did not increase the prices.

it's supply and demand. it prices me out of going to games too.

at least the at home viewing experience is much improved.

just wanted to clarify for you that it's not the garden increasing prices. they price their tickets at the beginning of the year. the pricing trend you linked to is referencing what tickets are selling for on the secondary market. and trust me, i hate MSG for what they are doing to TWC customers. they suck. this one isn't on them though.

you could easily buy tics outside the garden for half price, you just won't see the 1st qtr, they start knocking the price down aftr the 1st qtr, and you could really get a good deal at the satrt of the 3rd qtr..You could get a ticket face value @ $185 4like $65..thats real talk buddy

why would i pay $65 to see 2 quarters, or roughly 30-40 minutes of basketball?

Isn't that 3 quarters and roughly 2 hours of entertainment?

Beggars can't be choosers.

Most "fans" get season tickets or tickets in advance.

Don't blame the Knicks. Blame the scalpers and non fans.

Or blame yourself for not being able to afford it.

I don't want to hear this "oh tickets are so expensive" garbage.

Do you look at a Ferrari and go "Oh, the Ferarri guys have no shame, look at how much their cars are; THAT'S NO FAIR!!"

Gimme a break.

yea, because driving a $100k car and trying to get cheap seats to a regular season game sporting event are the same thing. What a tool

It is the same thing. It's a premium sporting event. It's not a rec-league game in your town.

Tickets are expensive because they sell at that price.

How is it different?
