SAN ANTONIO – With NBA Finals ticket prices through the roof in The Big Apple, many orange-and-blue fans made the trip south, saying they were priced out back home.
New Yorker Alex Ravazzani came to San Antonio to watch both Game 1 and 2.
”At MSG, the tickets from what I saw were around four grand a pop just to walk in the door — just to sit in the nosebleeds — versus we were able to actually sit in some pretty good seats last night for a third the price,” Ravazzani said.
“I saved money here, so, thank you, San Antonio,” Knicks fan Johnny McDonald said. “Really appreciate it.”
As of Thursday, the cheapest ticket for Game 2 at the Frost Bank Center was $791 up in the nosebleeds.
For Game 3 seats at MSG in New York City, which are also located in a section near the top concourse, would cost $8,000 more.
Courtside tickets, on the other hand, are relatively closer in price.
At the Frost Bank Center, the highest-priced seat is just shy of $120,000, while courtside at MSG is close to $160,000.
There’s a lot of money being poured into the NBA Finals — no matter where you live.
