MSG Tickets for Potential Pacers-Knicks Game 7 Start at $1,100

The game is the most expensive game on record in terms of average purchase price, according to TickPick.

The Knicks stayed alive in the Eastern Conference finals with a Game 5 win Thursday. While the Pacers have the opportunity to close out the series at home Saturday, a do-or-die Game 7 back at Madison Square Garden is on the table—but it looks like it will cost a small fortune to witness it in person.

The current average purchase of a potential Game 7 between the Knicks and Pacers is $1,565, which is the most expensive Eastern Conference finals game on record, according to TickPick. 

The average purchase price for games at Madison Square Garden in the 2025 Eastern Conference finals:

  • Game 1: $1,041
  • Game 2: $971
  • Game 5: $1,012
  • Game 7: $1,565 (as of May 30)

The get-in price for the game is $1,099, which is 411% more than the get-in price of Game 6 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis ($215). Those prices should only increase if New York wins Saturday.

It’s no surprise Knicks tickets would set price records, as they were the No. 2 team in terms of average purchase price entering the 2024–25 season at $327, just $2 less than the Lakers. The difference, however, is this season is the first time New York has made the conference finals since 2000—when it lost to the Pacers. Los Angeles has made the Western Conference finals nine times in that span.

It’s worth noting that ticketing platforms have different policies on refunds for games that are tagged as “if necessary” should they not push through, though most, including TickPick, StubHub, and Vivid Seats, offer full refunds.
