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\u2019s companies to assist children at need in the tristate area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">The seats are located in section VIP 10, row AA, seats 25 and 26, right off center court. It\u2019s impossible to know what they would usually cost, because the team doesn\u2019t sell them. Instead, they are given to the celebrity fans such as Tracy Morgan and Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet who are courtside fixtures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">___<\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-_wrDxHtU__Box-sc-10sa3ie-0 Text-nO2aZ44r__TextBase-sc-s2hv5x-0 jJNfBD fSvavs article-text\">AP NBA: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/nba\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/nba<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2026 The Associated Press.
