Summary
$1,894 is the average secondary-market price for Tuesday's Knicks season opener, according to TickPick — the highest average ever recorded for a regular-season NBA game.
Last season's championship has pushed Knicks ticket prices to nearly double year-earlier levels, extending Madison Square Garden's status as the NBA's priciest arena.
Many opener seats were listed above $5,000, reflecting demand that fans and market watchers say has built for years during the team's rise.
That surge has turned Knicks games into a premium New York event, with single tickets now costing more than some vacations or a month's rent in a midsize U.S. city.
