Knicks say $1 million was the winning bid for 2 celebrity row seats for Game 3
of the NBA Finals
NEW YORK (AP) --- In the NBA Finals, celebrity row property is worth $1 million.
The New York Knicks announced that was the winning bid in an auction for two
seats for Game 3 on Monday night, the first NBA Finals game at Madison Square
Garden since 1999.
The winning bid was split by the law firm Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher LLP and
private equity firm Veritas Capital. The fundraiser benefited the Garden of
Dreams Foundation, and the Knicks said it was the largest single donation in
the history of the foundation, which works with MSG's companies to assist
children at need in the tristate area.
The seats are located in section VIP 10, row AA, seats 25 and 26, right off
center court. It's impossible to know what they would usually cost, because the
team doesn't sell them. Instead, they are given to the celebrity fans such as
Tracy Morgan and Timothe Chalamet who are courtside fixtures.
Seats everywhere in the building are expensive. The cheapest upper-deck seats
available Sunday night were going for more than $6,000 on secondary markets
like StubHub, SeatGeek and VividSeats. The experience of being courtside went
for more than $75,000.
