It is not known if it will happen, but a seventh game between the Knicks and the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals could be one of the most expensive in NBA history.
For it to take place, New York will first have to win the sixth game in Indianapolis. Then, there will be a scramble to get a seat in the legendary Madison Square Garden.
The cheapest ticket for that hypothetical meeting is currently over $1,100 and the average ticket price is over $1,500. By comparison, the Pacers have had season tickets for $566 to watch the entire season live. But there are even more amazing figures: a courtside seat for that possible seventh game would cost $253,000!, according to TickPick.
