The atmosphere in Madison Square Garden will be out of this world Saturday afternoon when the Knicks host the Celtics for Game 3, but only those with deep pockets will be able to be a part of it.
Ticket demand is so great for the matinee that it will cost fans at least $590 to get in the doors and claim standing-room only tickets at the World’s Most Famous Arena, according to Vivid Seats.
The most economical ticket that comes with a guaranteed seat is $628 and is in Row 7 of Section 413.
Those prices are before fees.
When you include the fees, you’re looking at more than $800 to sit — or stand — in the nosebleeds for Game 3.
If you’re someone who fancies the opportunity to heckle Jayson Tatum while simultaneously rubbing shoulders with Spike Lee, Tracy Morgan or Mariska Hargitay, you can get a floor seat for the low, low price of $5,693 before fees.
Playoff seats at the Garden are always going to cost an arm and a leg, but the story these Knicks are writing is causing an even greater stir than usual.

The Knicks haven’t been in the Eastern Conference Finals since 2000, and they haven’t reached the NBA Finals since 1999.
