Getting into the notoriously expensive 2026 NBA Finals finally got a little cheaper.
Just one day after our team reported that ticket prices for Game 1 at the San Antonio Spurs’ Frost Bank Center started at $1,000 including fees on SeatGeek, prices have plummeted.
At the time of publication, seats now start at $767 including fees to see Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle, De’Aaron Fox, Julian Champaigne and Dylan Harper in the Alamo City.
While still quite pricey, a $233 discount simply for waiting 24 hours to pull the trigger on tickets is not a bad deal at all.
Throw in the fact that you can score an additional $10 off if you use promo code NYPOST10 for purchases over $250 at checkout and you’ll practically be gaming the system (Editor’s Note: this discount is only valid for users’ first purchase on SeatGeek).
Should you attend a game at the New York Knicks’ Madison Square Garden, you’ll be ponying up quite a bit more moolah.
Over the past week, prices have steadily risen to catch Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Josh Hart and co. on their home court.
On May 26, we found seats going for $3,543 including fees (for Game 4).
And that was the best deal.
Now, the lowest price we can find on tickets is a whopping $4,112 including fees.
For those without a calculator on hand, that’s a $569 (!) jump in just seven days.
Demand is high — tickets cost roughly the same what it’ll run you to get into the Super Bowl — but might be worth the eye-popping price tag.
“Nothing compares to Knicks playoff energy,” Post social media guru and Knicks diehard Olivia Silio told us.
“The roar of the crowd, the fans jumping up and down after every shot, the celebrities hyping up the crowd, the MSG organist leading the chants, the announcer after every point. MSG makes you feel like you’re a part of history.”

Silio also let us know that there are some additional perks to attending games at MSG.
“The first home game of the series, you’ll go home with a souvenir t-shirt, commemorating the game,” she said.
“Other games have ‘Always Knicks’ towels for fans to keep as well as interactive arena bracelets, used for light shows and hyping up the crowd. Another bonus is you may see your favorite actor, singer or athlete, rooting alongside you.”
About Knicks-Spurs
The Knicks and Spurs played three times over the course of the 2025-26 season.
In their first contest, the stakes were high. New York and San Antonio met in the championship game of the 2025 NBA Cup on Dec. 16. OG Anunoby dropped 28 points while Brunson netted 25 and ended up winning MVP for the in-season tourney.
“This is great and we’re going to enjoy this,” Brunson said. “But once we leave tomorrow, we’re moving on.”
Game number two — just a good, old-fashioned regular season showdown — saw Julian Champagnie score 36 and lead San Antonio to a surprise, come-from-behind 134-132 victory on New Year’s Eve.
When the elite clubs played a third time, New York stomped on the Spurs and walked away with a commanding 114-89 blowout. Mikal Bridges scored 25 while Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart chipped in double-doubles.
Notable storylines swirling around the Finals are center Mitchell Robinson’s broken left pinky finger, whether Anunoby and/or Hart will be able to stop Wemby, New York’s week of rest versus San Antonio’s non-stop schedule following their seven-game bloodbath with the Oklahoma City Thunder and NYC local ties for Spurs players Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle.
Clearly, there’s a lot to sift through.
