At an NBA game, your front-row courtside seats are unbeatable because you will have the best seat possible to see everything happening on all sides plus being able to be close enough to some of the greatest athletic competitors alive.

Average Cost

A courtside seat to check out the New York Knicks will cost an average of between $2,650 and more than $5,600， depending on how close you can get. Those are the priciest sections, with courtside seats across from benches and scorer's table priced between $4,500 for two VIP season tickets to $7,000 or so per pair on weekends and high-demand games.

Furthermore, the VIP W & E sections located directly on either side of the half-court behind the scorer's table are nearly as costly. Alternatively, you can choose to buy seats a few rows back from the nearest seat available. A regular baseline seat, for one thing, is around $110 per seat when the team plays during a weekday against one of the league's bottom-feeders -- and sits at roughly $145 even in your area where fans don't pay big-box prices.

Best Seat at the Garden: The Knicks 'Ultra-Premium' Section

The Knicks have now unveiled an 'ultra-premium' section that will offer courtside seats for a hefty $3,000. Located courtside near the scorer's table, these seats put you closer to players than anyone else in the building and give fans a clear view of all on-court action. It amounts to a way around raising ticket prices in years when the team misses out on the playoffs.

Factors Influencing Costs

Courtside seats can change in price based on the performance of a team, how meaningful that game is to certain fans before tip-off (especially when going against an opponent/players you've always wanted to see), and even which day it falls on. Similarly how the cost of VIP courtside seats for weekend and marquee matchups exceeds that at weekday games against less-heralded opponents. In addition, the popularity of the Knicks and accompanying high demand in all courtside prices fluctuate as general game dynamics/winner value against opponents.

Meanwhile, courtside seats cost differently in some other NBA teams The most expensive floor seats usually come from the Los Angeles Lakers — think around $6,000 per ticket¯ and provided a Miami Heat course nearby with prices that operate between $3,600 to absolutely nothing. The Milwaukee Bucks, on the other hand, will give you regular courtside seats for a much cheaper price of $800-$1,200.

After balancing a few different factors, like how good the team is and its opponent's strength that night (it also said something about politics? which we don't know or care anything about), it's predicting an average cost of $2,650 to $5,600 for sitting courtside at a New York Knicks game in 2024.
