Go see the NY Knicks and take the field to shoot a free throw! – Travel tips for New York

What is the Fan Experience we offer?

This Fan Experience includes 2 things:
1- a ticket with a seat at the bottom of Madison Square Garden and therefore a very well located seat!
2- the ability to go to the Madison floor at the end of the game and then shoot a free throw!

I explain these 2 experiences:

1 – Tickets to see the Knicks NBA game

We will offer you tickets to see the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
These proposed locations are located at the bottom of the room as you can see on the map just below:

You might tell yourself, as I told myself at the beginning, that it’s a shame to be behind the basketball backboard rather than in center court. Yes yes it would be human! 🙂
But frankly you prefer to be right in the top center like here?

Or down here and behind the panel?

I personally, testing this Fan Experience last April, immediately understood that downstairs had nothing to do with the atmosphere and above all with the proximity to the field!

2 – Go onto the court and try your luck at shooting a free throw

At the end of the game, you will have to wait for the room to empty a bit and then you can go to the floor.
You can then touch the floor (like me in the video) and love it.
And then later we can take your picture and enjoy the present moment but especially after with all your friends!
And finally you can then try your luck with the ball in your hand in one of the most legendary rooms on the basketball planet!

In short, the best thing is that I show you everything in images here on this video that I made on April 2 when I was able to test this Fan Experience.
It will be much more meaningful! 🙂

What New York Knicks games are on offer?

These will be all regular season games at Madison Square Garden.
So if the Knicks eventually go to the playoffs, I’m not sure if we’ll be able to offer that…but hey, you should never say “never” so I’m going to try it just in case anyway! 🙂
We will know the calendar and therefore which team will come to New York, when it comes out, which is probably tomorrow, Wednesday August 17th.

What are the prices offered?

We will know the rates once the calendar is published and Mathieu, my partner, has had the rates for each match and has given them to me!

When to book?

The sooner the better, as you know seats are not unlimited.
If you leave in a period of low tourist flow (November or January for example), then it will be easier to find a place at the last moment than if you leave for All Saints Day or at the end of December, for example.

Until when can NBA tickets be booked with Fan Experience?

You can book a match up to 10 days in advance.

How to book tickets “with” Fan Experience?

All you have to do is go to my New York agency website in French when places are available: www.voyage-en-francais.fr/new-york

How to book tickets “without” Fan Experience?

If this “Fan Experience” means nothing to you, is too expensive or you want to compare it with the price of a lambda saddle, you can go here: Tickets New York Knicks

Conclusion

I know many of you are crazy (like me!) to want to have this unique experience during a New York Knicks NBA game at Madison Square Garden! Why yes, again, it’s sure you’ll remember it for life, and surely your friends will be super jealous! 😀 😀
In short, one thing to say: take advantage of it and send me your videos when you mark the cart! 🙂 🙂
