Courtside seats at an NBA game are undoubtedly the best tickets in the house. Being able to take in all the action just a few feet away from some of the best athletes on the planet is truly the ultimate way to experience a live basketball game.

Given New York City’s status as one of the cultural capitals of the world, it’s no surprise that some of entertainments’ biggest icons have been spotted courtside at a Knicks game. Recent celebrity sightings have included Ansel Elgort, Howard Stern, Jim Gaffigan, Todd Gurley, Michael Che and Hasan Minhaj.

Interested in purchasing courtside tickets for the New York Knicks? Here’s everything you need to know.

How Much Do Knicks Courtside Tickets Cost?

Courtside seats to the New York Knicks cost $2,650 to $5,600 on average. The cost of courtside tickets for the Knicks varies greatly based on how close the seats are to the court.

The most expensive sections are usually the VIP sections 10 and 12, which are located right on the court, directly across from the two benches and scorer’s table. These tickets go from about $4,500 per ticket up to $7,000 per ticket for weekend and marquee matchups. The VIP W and E sections are also quite expensive, as those seats are right behind the scorers’ table at center court.

Courtside tickets start to come down in price if you opt to sit a few rows behind the closest seats. Tickets that are for seating sections located behind the baseline tend to be a bit cheaper as well, and often they are the most moderately priced courtside seats. Baseline seats start at around $110 per seat for weekday games against some of the lesser opponents in the league and hover at around $145 for the cheapest tickets for Friday night games and weekend contests.
