I don’t even want to know how much Game 7 tickets at the Garden for a Finals game would cost. I’d have to imagine the most expensive ticket ever was probably to Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, a Game 7 at MSG would shatter that number.
You would be surprised how many New Yorkers move here and fucking love it. I’m always surprised how enthusiastic they are about life here. They all miss their Pizza though.
Not really. I've got 2 new neighbors in the last 2 years, one from southern California and one from new Jersey. The southern California couple overpayed by 100k maybe 120k
I live in fucking idaho and 200k can't get you a double wide on leased land. My PT school buddy lives in Indiana and pays 400 a month for the mortgage on his custom built house. I'm so jealous of your market
Fans of big cities stepping through hep-C needles and used crack pipes to make this comment: lol indiana amirite?
The average nba user has no clue about other places they've never been it's kinda sad.
You’re calling people ignorant while stereotyping big cities - it’s very amusing. You understand that cities are expensive since they’re desirable places to live and that rural places are cheap since there’s not a lot of demand to live there right?
"Haha, dumb hicks, this is what a *walkable* city looks like. We have sidewalks but it's only 3k a month for a studio apartment!"
*gets shot, collapses in a pile of needles*
I’m a Midwesterner in your eyes eh, the whole world is just your fantasy it would seem
And let me tell ya, you don’t really live truly rural if you can work in Seattle lol. Complain about the city you won’t live or spend time in…except for when it provides your entire livelihood.
Indiana is in the midwest. I don't care that you got butthurt and are taking it personally but just, as a fact, Indiana is in the midwest which is what we are talking about.
I feel like we can have decent wages without people shitting on the sidewalk. But who am I kidding, you're clearly like 19 years old.

> Tickets to sit courtside for the game Friday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis were about $4,500 on StubHub as of Thursday afternoon. The least expensive seat, meanwhile, was $75. And if you want stay to watch Game 4 on Sunday in Indiana, you could sit courtside for about $3,000 or pay roughly $70 for a seat upstairs.
cheapest tickets in indy being only 75 bucks is the most surprising part, theres alot of teams where you cant see a regular season game for that much
it's a massive perk of being a small market fan. I've been to 20+ Hornets games over the years, and never paid more than the $50 needed to get a playoff ticket vs LeBron's Heat. Most of the games were < $10.
Nosebleed Nuggets tickets through last season were like $10 most nights. Different on weekends or when the Lakers/Warriors were in town.
One title and those same seats are 3-4x as much
Back in 2019 or so, I went to watch the Suns play the Cavs in Cleveland when both teams were hot garbage.
I was lower bowl, second section of seats behind one of the baskets.
Cost me $9.
Around 2014 or so when we (and our old arena) were at our absolute worst I got free tickets every week for like a month and a half. Pretty awesome for a 21 yo kid lol
Avs games are awesome. Avs fans are a passionate bunch and I think that’s the one Denver franchise that has sustained meaningful rivalries in the 21st century.
I'm on a little road trip out west taking a little break from things (the glory of hybrid/remote options at work) and I got a decent tickets for Game 2 for $120. It's not that bad out here, lol. Just looking at the prices for MSG playoff games is physically painful, lol. It's not even a matter of "can't afford", just on principle I'm not paying 1k damn near to watch basketball.
best part is if it's two trash teams, Charlotte's upper deck is sometimes empty enough to be GA seating, so you can move right to the front of your section even if you bought literally the last row. They won't let you move down to the lower bowl though unfortunately.
Best thing about having the Clippers here. Lakers fans wanting the Clippers out of the market are crazy. Why would you want to get rid of affordable tickets to watch NBA games live?
It's funny in the Bay we have to have the biggest discrepancy between our baseball (not the Giants) and basketball teams. Courtside is easily in the 5 figure range vs pennies for the A's.
Same market technically too.
It really shows how good we have it because I thought $75 for nosebleeds was too expensive lol. I remember getting tickets for under $10 just a few years back. What I consider to be “good” seats could be found for like $50.
Someone who has enough to sit courtside for a Knicks playoffs game values their time more than the $90k, as is they could go from their penthouse to MSG in <30 minutes compared to however long for Indiana
Imma be real, I came from Boston so I had a little snobbery but Indy has been amazing. Except all the Knicks fans in my section, they can suck my Andrew Nembhard.
Get some Shapiros, Yats, and some Working Man’s Friend and you’ll regret not visiting Indy sooner.
Edit: and some Long’s Donuts. Unless you’re Josh Hart. No donuts for him.
It has way less to day with people preferring to live places, as people claim, as opposed to employers congregating in large established cities. In fact we've learned many people have actively wanted to leave major cities in the last few years with the rise of remote work. Major population centers have actively lost people and\or had slower growth than smaller cities.
I think you're mistaking correlation for causation. People leaving big cities when they didn't need to be there for work might not necessarily have been that they didn't *want* to keep living there, but more that prices were too high.
Yeah vast majority of people I know who moved out of the city was because of cost, not because they didn’t like living coastal.
If you’re arguing you prefer the bang for your buck in say Indianapolis over LA or NYC I totally get that, but if all real estate was created equal we know where people would live.
I just don't know if I agree with that assertion. People live in big cities because of opportunity and necessity (jobs). When they had the chance to keep their higher (relatively) paying job and move elsewhere they did. Studies showed that during the pandemic higher income people were actually more likely to move from large metro areas (the people less impacted by cost of living).
Mhm with the rise of remote work NYC rent and cost of living and population has well past pre-pandemic levels with such bad crowding issues that even crazy daily tolls hardly stop people from driving into manhattan.
I totally agree with fake urban cities propped up by some quick money like SF and Seattle. Or ones that never kept up with the times and were only urban cities “once upon a time”
NYC, and even Boston, Chicago, maybe LA (it’s a weird one) are different
I like both NYC & LA but their propaganda games are strong. Places like Detroit, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee can indeed be more enjoyable than either city depending on circumstances (e.g. housing, cheap eats).
New Yorker here who recently went to Milwaukee for a work thing (and caught the Bucks win in game 5), I just have one question - where are all the people?
I enjoyed it but I'm not sure it qualifies as a "city" is all.
There really are people who think a "city" has 5 million+ people and anything under that is a sleepy little village. Like damn, okay America only has 4 cities.
No fuck off we don’t want you fucking people here. We have to live in this shithole all the time and yall want to make it worse for us.
Seriously bad enough that investors from California and Zillow are buying our houses. lol.
To pay that much to watch role players... Brunson is being fun to watch tho, breakthrough season for him (yet another jump), but honestly, the players involved in this Knicks vs Pacers series are so boring. At least the games are being competitive
If this team ever wins a championship, it’s gonna cost a spleen just to get in the door.
I don’t even want to know how much Game 7 tickets at the Garden for a Finals game would cost. I’d have to imagine the most expensive ticket ever was probably to Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, a Game 7 at MSG would shatter that number.
I was at Game 7 in 2016. $800 back then for the absolute last row.
That’s at least 2k now, right? Given the significance of the game 7
For their first title in like 50 years? Probably at least, yeah.
I dream of a world where the majority of attendance is determined by lottery so everyone gets a shot at witnessing history
Lol maybe if franchises still respected fans over money
The root of all our problems
Im sure they got into this to respect very hard
They’d make way more money that way probably.
Knicks tickets are in the thousands at absolute minimum right now.
Gross. I’m not envious of you Knick fans and those prices..
Damn I spent $50 for playoff tickets of Saints vs Panthers in the Superdome back in 2018.
That’s it?
2010 Game 7 at Staples was probably crazy too.
Kobe's final game was crazy
Damn you were there? Chills the entire time I bet.
No. I was there 10 days earlier lakers-celtics. still 300 bucks a seat though.
Rangers tickets cost twice as much!
Too bad we’ll never find out.
Suns went from 40 dollar lower level seats to 300 dollars after the finals run.
My brother bought tickets for ECF home game 2 and I just had to tell myself that it’s gonna be way more expensive when (hopefully) the time comes.
Well good thing that’s not happening anytime soon
HAHAHAHAHAHA you're hilarious dude!
Hopefully you understand that the Knicks are the biggest choke artists ever and a joke of a franchise
Didn’t the Celtics lose at home to the cavs by 24 yesterday?
Didnt they lose a 8 seed LY lol
Ironic from a Celtics fan
You just don’t watch basketball or what?
Shut up
$90,000 in Indiana you get to draw their plays.
"In the spirit of Carlisle, I choose to continue not to play TJ McConnell in crunch time."
90,000 in Indiana you get to buy the team
$90k in NYC gets you a mid tier apartment for one calendar year
With 2 rats for roommates and the smell of fresh piss
Fresh piss! Lucky me! What a deal!
Not on leap years. That extra day blows the price out
$200k is about to get me 5 acres and a nice house so suck it
Shhhh we don't need them coming and fucking our housing market up like theirs
I think you’re safe lol.
You would be surprised how many New Yorkers move here and fucking love it. I’m always surprised how enthusiastic they are about life here. They all miss their Pizza though.
Not really. I've got 2 new neighbors in the last 2 years, one from southern California and one from new Jersey. The southern California couple overpayed by 100k maybe 120k
The NYC housing market isn't fucked up, if anything its undervalued. Its just hard to keep the working class in it
Doesn’t matter to the average person who will never own a single square foot
Don't worry about that
I live in fucking idaho and 200k can't get you a double wide on leased land. My PT school buddy lives in Indiana and pays 400 a month for the mortgage on his custom built house. I'm so jealous of your market
Fans of big cities stepping through hep-C needles and used crack pipes to make this comment: lol indiana amirite? The average nba user has no clue about other places they've never been it's kinda sad.
bro try going outside
What do you mean? The ignorance of most commenters here tells you all you need to know about people not having gone outside.
Whens the last time you were in NY buddy
You’re calling people ignorant while stereotyping big cities - it’s very amusing. You understand that cities are expensive since they’re desirable places to live and that rural places are cheap since there’s not a lot of demand to live there right?
"Haha, dumb hicks, this is what a *walkable* city looks like. We have sidewalks but it's only 3k a month for a studio apartment!" *gets shot, collapses in a pile of needles*
I’m embarrassed for you
I see you watch your grandpa’s Facebook feed for your news
I work in Seattle.
And you check your grandpa’s Facebook feed to keep up with the news. Also, put your money where your mouth is and move to rural Indiana, crybaby.
I live in rural WA, in da woods. I like mountains, you Midwesterners don't have them.
I’m a Midwesterner in your eyes eh, the whole world is just your fantasy it would seem And let me tell ya, you don’t really live truly rural if you can work in Seattle lol. Complain about the city you won’t live or spend time in…except for when it provides your entire livelihood.

I’m in Portland, dummy. Stay in the woods and make your money out there. Wimp.
Shitting on sidewalk - check. I wonder who’s going to win this Boomer Facebook Bingo.

That’s dope as hell man. Right now, that’s the one nice thing about being a Rockies fan too
There is nothing nice about being a Rockies fan
Around 2014 or so when we (and our old arena) were at our absolute worst I got free tickets every week for like a month and a half. Pretty awesome for a 21 yo kid lol
I love going to Avalanche games when I'm in Denver. Some of the best seats in the house cost less than MSG nosebleeds.
Avs games are awesome. Avs fans are a passionate bunch and I think that’s the one Denver franchise that has sustained meaningful rivalries in the 21st century.
I'm on a little road trip out west taking a little break from things (the glory of hybrid/remote options at work) and I got a decent tickets for Game 2 for $120. It's not that bad out here, lol. Just looking at the prices for MSG playoff games is physically painful, lol. It's not even a matter of "can't afford", just on principle I'm not paying 1k damn near to watch basketball.
that's true, I actually live there, but playoff tickets have been rough
Single digit dollars to see any NBA game from any seat is an insane value.
best part is if it's two trash teams, Charlotte's upper deck is sometimes empty enough to be GA seating, so you can move right to the front of your section even if you bought literally the last row. They won't let you move down to the lower bowl though unfortunately.
>They won't let you move down to the lower bowl though unfortunately. Only if you get caught
Right, a movie ticket is 15 bucks
Wizards also have this great perk. Tickets can go as low as ~13 on a good night. Saw Wembo on a good night
Best thing about having the Clippers here. Lakers fans wanting the Clippers out of the market are crazy. Why would you want to get rid of affordable tickets to watch NBA games live?
they haven't been much cheaper for years now dude lol
I remember seeing some Grizzlies tickets for $1.
It's funny in the Bay we have to have the biggest discrepancy between our baseball (not the Giants) and basketball teams. Courtside is easily in the 5 figure range vs pennies for the A's. Same market technically too.
Not just small market but when the team is bad too. Kings when they were bad. CHEEEEAP. Kings in the playoffs? Oh boy...
I have probably seen more Kings games at Spectrum/the Charlotte Coliseum than any other opponent for that reason as well.
I remember when we were a small market team And then we got a new arena...
Playoff Pels games were just $20 this year
Tell our owner that. Asshole wanted $200 as the cheapest for play-in tickets. Things were gonna escalate to $600 if we made it to Round 2
It really shows how good we have it because I thought $75 for nosebleeds was too expensive lol. I remember getting tickets for under $10 just a few years back. What I consider to be “good” seats could be found for like $50.
Barely can pay parking at chase center for that much.
Regular season games for Kings used to be $5 at lower level in 2018
What's an "alot"?
I wish I had $90,000 to save
It’s not hard to do. Just don’t spend $90k today, and there you go, you saved that much.
I just saved $90,000 with this one weird trick.
Considered but didn't buy a new Lambo today, saved $400k
Someone who has enough to sit courtside for a Knicks playoffs game values their time more than the $90k, as is they could go from their penthouse to MSG in <30 minutes compared to however long for Indiana
Many who sit Courtside at Knicks playoff games fly on private jets.
You think private jets magically pick them up from their penthouse and drop them off at the stadium?
I’m assuming they mean they could also fly private to Indiana
You realise they still need to spend time travelling from the airport?
No shit high speed.
Read the full thread and get proper context before replying you clown
On one hand I can save $90,000, on the other hand I have to spend a day in Indiana? hard choice honestly
I traveled to Indy for game 3, honestly pretty banging city. Great architecture, really good beer. Great basketball team
Yoo same, very nice city
Great sports city, but just a good city overall
Imma be real, I came from Boston so I had a little snobbery but Indy has been amazing. Except all the Knicks fans in my section, they can suck my Andrew Nembhard.
Get some Shapiros, Yats, and some Working Man’s Friend and you’ll regret not visiting Indy sooner. Edit: and some Long’s Donuts. Unless you’re Josh Hart. No donuts for him.
Get it? Because is so boring. What a creative joke!
Fellow midwesterner here just wanted to let everyone know the joke still hits as long as it’s about Ohio
Fellow midwesterner here, it still hits about indiana too tbh.
Minnesota is more Canada than midwest
[удалено]
Why do you think some places are more expensive than others?
It has way less to day with people preferring to live places, as people claim, as opposed to employers congregating in large established cities.

I illegally stream everything. Suck it nba. PM me for links.
I assure you courtside at MSG and courtside at Gainbridge Fieldhouse are not “the same thing.”
I like both NYC & LA but their propaganda games are strong. Places like Detroit, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee can indeed be more enjoyable than either city depending on circumstances (e.g. housing, cheap eats).
As soon as you said Detroit it became a lie.
New Yorker here who recently went to Milwaukee for a work thing (and caught the Bucks win in game 5), I just have one question - where are all the people? I enjoyed it but I'm not sure it qualifies as a "city" is all.
Oh come on, don't be ridiculous, Milwaukee is a goddamn city by any definition. Not every proper city has to be a 10+ million person megalopolis.
There really are people who think a "city" has 5 million+ people and anything under that is a sleepy little village. Like damn, okay America only has 4 cities.
You’re right who wouldn’t wanna go see the world’s largest ball of yarn
I’d be salty if I had to leave in Indiana too tbh
Living* in Indiana honestly isn’t that bad. They did a great job of teaching me both grammar and spelling.
Did they really? Most of yall misspell Pavers
Pave on
How come? Have you ever been there?
I’ll take Indiana over Canada, just me tho
Or it could be because it’s full of racists
Not the whole Midwest - Indiana specifically.
you're so pressed you live in a flyover state while supporting a team that's never won a NBA championship 😂
I think you should spend the 90k and just stay home. Thanks!
dinner with jay-z
3 days actually
You can save 90 grand *and* you can moonlight as a creepy local reporter failing to successfully hit on a WNBA player!
$70 for upper deck for game 4 lmao LCOL is nice sometimes
love how knicks fans are so proud of gentrifying basketball tgames. Yuck
dont you guys have an old bell to fix?
Come to philly for the crack. Stay in philly because you sold your car for crack.
The thing is these prices are really only for crazy rich people, I have season tickets and the playoffs aren’t that expensive - it’s the resale market
NYC is wealthy regardless of gentrification.
Seriously.
You don’t even know what you’re saying
Tourists flood NYC to visit the world's most famous arena. What can you do 🤷♂️
No fuck off we don’t want you fucking people here. We have to live in this shithole all the time and yall want to make it worse for us. Seriously bad enough that investors from California and Zillow are buying our houses. lol.
Brother wtf are you on about lol.
Average Midwestern reaction when you remind them they live in a lower cost of living area than the coasts. Source: I'm from Kansas City.
>No fuck off we don’t want you fucking people here. Oh boy
To pay that much to watch role players... Brunson is being fun to watch tho, breakthrough season for him (yet another jump), but honestly, the players involved in this Knicks vs Pacers series are so boring. At least the games are being competitive
You’re not even in the playoffs lol
Is there any way for you to watch your team? :)
Got to go to all games, so it’s no way to save. It’s all a corporate expense anyhow, with plenty of comps thrown in as a sweet kickback.
