$10 seats in Madison Square Garden? (New York, York: home, pricing, to move)

[redstephie]

Daughters are about to book seats for the Knicks game in a couple of weeks. They can't decide between the $10 or $44 seats? I read that the cheaper ones are called the 'nosebleed' seats for an obvious reason! However, are they really that bad, or will they be able to see the action?
TIA

if your not atleast spending a couple hundred bucks on seats you might as well stay home and watch it on the TV set

Really?
Reasons for them looking at cheap seats are;
a) they can't afford that much.
b) they want to experience the atmosphere of a Knicks game.
c) they have 20/20 vision!

....your "opera glasses!" They'll have a great view of the entire Garden.

I would go for the $10 tix. The way the Knicks are playing there will be plenty of empty seats in the lower sections to move down to.

I agree with Cardiff Giant.

To get an idea of the view, go to Seating - Madison Square Garden, New York City - MSG and select basketball in the EVENT drop-down menu. In the lower left of the seating chart, click on "See Pricing." You can see that the $10 seats are the nosebleeders behind the basket. Run your mouse over the section to get a picture of the view from the seats. But I agree with Cardiff Giant. They should be able to improve their view by finding empty seats.

Thank you!
It will be the $10 tickets then.
More dollars in their pockets to spend on something else, so they'll be happy!
