For hockey the Garden's levels run Floor, 100s, 200s, Suites, 300s, 400s, the Hyundai Bridge and the Lounges. The rink sits lower than the basketball floor, so the 100s look down into the boards rather than across them, and the glass seats put you level with the ice itself. The Bridge — suspended walkway seating above the bowl — is the vantage point no other NHL building offers.
Tips & Fan Reports
Chase Bridges first row is my favorite experience at the Garden. I have sat all over MSG for Rangers games and it is always the highlight.
I like the corners where the Rangers shoot twice - section 113 middle of the section. There is something intense about being in the lower bowl that close to the action. Center ice is perfect from any distance.
Behind-the-goal seats see the Rangers attack that end twice in a regulation game, not three times.
The bridges are the Hyundai Bridge now; listings still saying Chase Bridge mean the same seats.
For hockey specifically, height helps more than proximity — the 200s and the Bridge show you the whole sheet, and glass seats show you the least of the game despite costing the most.
MSG's 400 level is unusually steep because the arena is built over Penn Station.
Where to Sit
Every tier in the building, what it costs, and what you give up to sit there.
Ice-Level / Glass Seats
$500 - $1500+Most expensive tier
Level with the ice behind the boards, close enough that a check lands in front of you.
Pros
- The only seats in hockey where the players are physically at your eye line
- Hits on the near boards happen an arm's length away
Cons
- The most expensive ticket for a Rangers game
- The glass and the near boards block play at the far end — you see less of the game than from anywhere else
Lower Level Sideline (100-Level)
$250 - $550The lower ring along the side of the rink, looking down across both blue lines.
Pros
- The best all-round sightline for hockey in the building
- High enough to see the whole sheet, close enough to follow the puck
Cons
- Expensive
- The near boards still hide play tight to the wall below you
Lower Level End Zone (100-Level)
$150 - $350Pros
- Lower-bowl seats at well under sideline prices
- The best angle in the building on a power play setting up in the near zone
Cons
- The Rangers attack this end twice in three periods, not three times
- End-on, so passing lanes across the ice are hard to read
Lower Mezzanine (200-Level)
$110 - $280The second ring, raised over the lower bowl with the whole sheet in one frame.
Pros
- For hockey this is arguably the best value in the building — the full ice, no obstruction
- High enough to see a breakout develop before it happens
Cons
- Removed from the sound of the boards
- The suites ring sits above, so there is no through-route upward
Hyundai Bridge
$120 - $320Suspended walkway seating above the bowl, looking straight down the length of the rink.
Pros
- Unique to Madison Square Garden — no other NHL arena has bridge seating
- For hockey the straight-down view is genuinely revealing: you see the systems, not just the puck
Cons
- The highest seats in the building
- You are on a bridge suspended over the bowl, which does not suit everyone
Upper Balcony (400-Level)
$50 - $140Cheapest tier
The top ring, high over the ice with the whole sheet laid out below.
Pros
- The cheapest way into a Rangers game at the Garden
- The full-ice view that makes hockey legible
Cons
- Famously steep — the Garden sits on top of Penn Station and had no room to spread
- Players are small from up here

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.
