The New York Knicks are an NBA Eastern Conference (Atlantic Division) team based in New York City. Their home, Madison Square Garden (“The World’s Most Famous Arena”), sits atop Penn Station and holds about 19,800.
Seating Guide
100-level Baseline, Center, and Corner sections are closest to the floor; the 200 level includes Balcony seats, Blue Seats, and Chase Bridges. The courtside seats known as “Celebrity Row” are especially famous.
Tickets
Official tickets can be purchased through the club’s website.
“Celebrity Row” is a genuine, decades-long MSG tradition — filmmaker Spike Lee has held Knicks season tickets since 1985 and is world-famous for courtside trash-talking with Reggie Miller and Michael Jordan in the 1990s.

💡 Insider Tips
🚌 Getting Around
Madison Square Garden sits right above Penn Station, giving it excellent access — the A/C/E lines (8th Ave entrance, right below the arena), 1/2/3 lines (7th Ave entrance, 1 block), and B/D/F/M/N/Q/R/W lines (about a 4-minute walk from Herald Square) are all available.
🏨 Lodging
Fairfield Inn & Suites Midtown Manhattan/Penn Station (0.13 miles, 3-minute walk) and Holiday Inn Express NYC Chelsea-NoMad (0.17 miles) are within walking distance.
🎟️ Tickets
Ticketmaster is the official partner, and Ticket Exchange by Ticketmaster is the NBA’s official resale channel. Demand is very high — average prices run $250–350, and popular matchups like the playoffs can push resale prices close to $2,000.
🗺️ City Pass Bundling
Game tickets aren’t included in the New York CityPASS or other major city passes, but MSG’s own tour offers a “Follow Along” guide in English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Dutch.
💡 Insider Tips
Bags up to 22x14x9 inches are allowed, including backpacks (clear bags aren’t required — unusual among major arenas). Prime seats are courtside and the 100-level sidelines (sections 116-118, 106-108), while good-value seats with a solid view are in the 200-level (sections 223-225, 210-212).
