The New York Knicks suspended ticket sales after a pricing error caused season opener tickets to be listed at over $1,000 each. The team will restart sales early next week with prices increased by about 12% from last year, refunding fans who already purchased the overpriced tickets. MSG, the Knicks' owner, emphasized that raising ticket prices was not their intention and assured fans of more affordable pricing going forward.

Story summary
The New York Knicks suspended ticket sales after an internal mistake caused individual game tickets to be listed at unexpectedly high prices, with some season opener seats priced over $1,000. The team plans to resume sales early next week with more modest price increases of around 12% above last year’s rates. Fans who already purchased tickets will receive refunds for the difference in cost. Madison Square Garden Sports acknowledged that their intention was never to overcharge loyal fans and apologized for any inconvenience caused by the pricing error. The Knicks won their first NBA championship in 53 years last season, leading to expectations of a price increase following seasons where they make the playoffs, but owner James Dolan typically avoids raising prices if the team does not qualify for postseason play.
