Madison Square Garden tickets: How to buy NBA playoffs tickets?

As per reports, standard tickets have been sold out for a long time. To get a ticket for the Knicks series opener, one will have to buy tickets as per the secondary-market price. Reports add that the lowest price on SeatGeek is $1001, without any additional fees that are added later on. 

The maximum price is apparently $13,200. The prices are reportedly a result of the Knicks' unexpected success this season. The team surprised most people in the NBA community, dominating in the second half of the regular season. Tom Thibodeau, whose addition as the head coach was questioned, worked well for the roster. The team amped up their defence, bringing home the much-needed wins. Julius Randle, averaging 24.1 points per game, is in line for the NBA's Most Improved Players honour.
