Knicks Tickets $1,000 Per

Rich and famous basketball fans of the New York Knicks will have to fork over twice as much money this season to sit courtside at Madison Square Garden.

The price of the approximately 60 courtside seats will double from $500 to $1,000 per seat per game, the Knicks said.

It’s the highest known price for a team sporting event in the country. Tickets for the exclusive courtside seats at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif., are $500.

Film director Spike Lee has season tickets for two courtside seats, which will cost $82,000 for next season, and he has said he plans on renewing.
