Knicks' Josh Hart calls NBA Finals ticket prices 'crazy'

Josh Hart, a player for the New York Knicks, voiced strong disapproval of the exorbitant ticket prices for the upcoming NBA Finals game against the San Antonio Spurs. He described the cost as "crazy" and lamented that numerous fans, who have long awaited such an event, are priced out of attending.

“

I wish the ticket prices weren't as crazy as they are.

Hart highlighted that the cheapest tickets for the game at Madison Square Garden were selling for at least $5,400 on resale platforms. He expressed a desire for the prices to be more accessible, stating, "I wish the ticket prices weren't as crazy as they are." He believes many dedicated fans who have waited a long time for this moment cannot afford to be present.

“

I feel like a lot of people who have been waiting for this moment for a very long time, unfortunately, can't get into the building when the cheapest ticket is seven or eight thousand dollars. It's ridiculous.

Despite the financial barrier for some, Hart anticipates an electrifying atmosphere at the arena. The Knicks are currently leading the NBA Finals 2-0 against the Spurs, putting them just two wins away from securing their first championship in 53 years. Hart concluded by saying the arena would still be roaring, but he wished for more affordable options for the fans.

“

But it's going to be rocking regardless. It's just, obviously, I wish they were a little cheaper.
