Madison Square Garden's own seating chart lists its levels as Floor, 100s, 200s, Suites, 300s, 400s, the Hyundai Bridge and the Lounges. The Bridge is the one nothing else has: suspended walkway seating hung above the bowl rather than built into it. The building sits on top of Penn Station, which is why the upper levels are as steep as they are — there was nowhere to spread out.
Tips & Fan Reports
If you have the cash look for 100 section on the corners of the court. It is sloped so even if people stand you can still get great views. SeatGeek usually has the best prices for MSG.
Bridge seating is suspended over the bowl rather than built into it — a straight-down view, and no other NBA arena has anything like it.
MSG's own chart lists Floor, 100s, 200s, Suites, 300s, 400s, the Hyundai Bridge and the Lounges — a listing naming anything else is a resale category, not a Garden level.
The bridges are called the Hyundai Bridge now. Older listings say Chase Bridge and mean the same seats.
MSG's 400 level is unusually steep because the arena is built on top of Penn Station and had no room to spread.
Where to Sit
Every tier in the building, what it costs, and what you give up to sit there.
Courtside / Floor Seats
$1,500 - $5,000+Cheapest tier
Pros
- The most sought-after seats in the NBA, and priced as such
- Level with the play, close enough to hear everything
Cons
- The most expensive regular ticket in American sport
- Floor level flattens the geometry — you see bodies rather than spacing
Lower Bowl Sideline (100-Level)
$350 - $800Most expensive tier
Pros
- The best ordinary sightline in the building
- Close to the benches and the noise
Cons
- Expensive even by MSG standards
- The front rows lose the near baseline
Lower Bowl Baseline (100-Level)
$200 - $450Pros
- Lower-bowl proximity for roughly half the sideline price
- The best angle on a shooter's release
Cons
- The far basket is a long way off
- The near hoop and its stanchion sit in the sightline
Lower Mezzanine (200-Level)
$200 - $450The second ring, raised over the lower bowl with the whole court in frame.
Pros
- The best compromise between price and sightline at the Garden
- High enough to read the offence as a shape
Cons
- A deck removed from the lower bowl's atmosphere
- The suites ring sits between this level and the one above
Upper Mezzanine (300-Level)
$120 - $350Above the suites, looking down over the whole floor.
Pros
- A full-court view without lower-bowl money
- Closer to the floor than the 400s by a meaningful margin
Cons
- Steep — the Garden's upper levels are built into a tight footprint
- No club or lounge access at this price
Hyundai Bridge
$150 - $400Suspended walkway seating hung above the bowl, looking down the length of the court from higher than any other seat.
Pros
- Unique to Madison Square Garden — no other arena has bridge seating
- An unobstructed straight-down view of the whole floor
Cons
- The highest vantage point in the building, so players are small
- Not for anyone uneasy about height — you are on a bridge over the bowl
Upper Balcony (400-Level)
$80 - $200Pros
- The cheapest way into Madison Square Garden
- The clearest view of how a possession is organised
Cons
- Famously steep, a consequence of the building sitting on top of Penn Station
- As far from the floor as the arena goes

These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them — concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces — so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
