Knicks championship opener vs LeBron's 76ers draws huge ticket prices

Ticket prices for the New York Knicks’ 2026-27 regular-season opener at Madison Square Garden against the Philadelphia 76ers have been reported as extremely high. The NBA schedule release shows the championship Knicks—led by Jalen Brunson and incoming Finals MVP honors—will raise a banner and receive rings when the 76ers arrive on Oct. 20. Featuring LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey, the matchup comes after Philadelphia’s 53-year title drought ended once already, but still follows New York’s four-game sweep in the second round. TickPick currently lists the get-in price at $1,999, with Section 400 seating, while courtside-adjacent listings show $166,109 each for two tickets.
