Knicks pause sales, refund buyers after pricing mistake set 2026 27 opener tickets above $1,000.

The New York Knicks, NBA champions, announced Thursday they are pausing individual game ticket sales for the upcoming 2026 27 season. This decision came after a pricing mistake caused tickets to be listed at excessively high values. MSG Sports, the team's operator, confirmed plans to restart sales soon and will provide refunds to all fans who purchased tickets at the inflated prices. The error primarily affected tickets for the highly anticipated season opener.

The affected game is scheduled for October 20, 2026, against the Philadelphia 76ers. The initial get in price for this season opener was mistakenly listed at $1,408, significantly exceeding $1,000. The Knicks initiated the sales for these 2026 27 season tickets earlier this week. They aim to correct the pricing issue before reopening sales to the public.
