Louise scored 4 high-class tickets to see the New York Knicks play against the Utah Jazz last night, so we jumped at the chance to go with them. I’ve been very keen to see some basketball during our time here, and I can’t see myself shelling out $74 for a ticket, so Louise’s offer was very appreciated!
A quick cab ride had us at Madison Square Garden just after tip-off. It certainly wasn’t a sellout game – there were a bunch of empty seats around the joint. I’m not sure if that’s a side-effect of the recent transit strike (which is over now, by the way), or if this just wasn’t to be a particularly high profile game.
But I for one had a great time! Both teams played very well – it was anyone’s game right up until the last 5 minutes or so. In the end, the Knicks were too strong for the Jazz, bringing it home 98 – 90.
I would definitely go back to see some more basketball, but I don’t know that I’d pay $74 to do so. I wouldn’t even pay that to see some bands! So again, a super thanks to Louise and Jason for taking us along with them.

WOW! I can’t believe that they charge that amount to go see a basketball game. I wonder what a box seat would cost?
Not sure about a box seat, but here’s a sample of the price list for the upcoming game against the Phoenix Suns:<br><br>COURTSIDE SEATING<br>US $334.50 – US $1,904.50<br><br>100 LEVEL SEATING (2 LEVELS UP FROM FLOOR)<br>US $91.50 – US $244.50<br><br>Somewhat more than I’d be willing to pay…
