New York Knicks’ tickets cost more than double the league’s average and five times as much as seats for the Memphis Grizzlies.
Knicks tickets averaged $117.47 after a 32.5 percent increase – and these figures don’t even include premium seats.
The Los Angeles Lakers were second at $99.25 after a 4.2 percent hike, and Boston third at $68.55 while leaving its average flat. Chicago was fourth at $68.37 with a 3.3 percent increase, followed by the Miami Heat at $67 following a 10.7 percent jump.
