The New York Knicks surprisingly have a 2-0 lead over the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Semifinal round. The Knicks won both games on the road in Boston, and now they head to Madison Square Garden with a chance to finish the series if they win the next two games. 

The Knicks overcame a 20-point deficit in Game 1 to get the 108-105 win in overtime. In Game 2, the Knicks again came from behind to get the 91-90 win. 

Game 3 is on Saturday at 3:30 pm ET in New York, and the tickets for the game are through the roof. As of Friday, the cheapest available seats began at $685 on StubHub. 

But, even more surprising was that there are courtside tickets for nearly just north of $35,000. 

On StubHub, there are tickets in the VIP zone with a price tag of $35,214 after fees. 

Even more surprising is that the price dropped from a couple of days ago. 

For some comparison, you can get plenty of brand-new cars for that price or cheaper. A 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid begins at just under $29,000, so take your pick. 

But, Knicks fans are as passionate as they come, and this team and lead has fans excited to see if they can finally make a deep run in the NBA playoffs once again.
