Ticket prices for Game 3 of NBA Finals reach record high

Ticket prices for Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs have surged, with the get-in price now at $7,390 at Madison Square Garden. This figure represents a staggering 1,148% increase compared to the $635 get-in price for Game 2. The high demand is attributed to the Knicks' strong playoff run and their infrequent Finals appearances, the last being in 1999. Only 1.6% of the tickets sold have been purchased by Spurs fans, while 66% of buyers are from New York and New Jersey. The price trend indicates a strong future demand if the Knicks can clinch a victory at home.
