- Madison Square Garden Sports paused Knicks individual ticket sales on Thursday after a mistake caused 2026-27 single-game tickets to be listed at prices "too high," with sales to restart at corrected levels shortly.
- MSG will roll back prices to last year's levels plus an average 12% increase and refund the difference to anyone who already purchased individual tickets at the inflated rates.
- The Oct. 20 season opener against Philadelphia carried a get-in price exceeding $1,000 before the rollback was announced.
- Owner James Dolan has historically raised ticket prices after seasons in which the Knicks made the playoffs and held them flat when the team missed the postseason.
- MSG issued an apology, stating "Our intention was never to overcharge our loyal fans," and thanked supporters for their patience while the issue is corrected.
Why it matters: The rollback caps the 2026-27 price hike at an average 12% over last season instead of the erroneously inflated levels, and fans who already paid more get automatic refunds. For the defending NBA champions, the quick reversal preserves goodwill on what would have been one of the league's marquee home openers against Philadelphia.
