NBA Finals ticket prices at Madison Square Garden reached astronomical levels for Game 3, with the average ticket costing $7,683 as of Monday morning. Game 3 between the San Antonio Spurs and New York Knicks, set for Monday night at 8:30 ET on ABC, features the cheapest ticket at $3,940 while the most expensive available seat goes for $30,970.

The Knicks, holding a commanding 2-0 series lead, will host a Finals game while leading for just the third time in franchise history. New York makes its first Finals appearance since 1999, riding a 12-game winning streak that has made them the hottest ticket in town this summer.

Ticket market data from Vivid Seats shows the extreme demand, with one ticket already sold for approximately $65,000. The steep prices reflect both the Knicks' unexpected success and the scarcity of premium seating in the 19,812-seat arena, creating a seller's market for New York's first home Finals game in 27 years.
