Parking for Knicks games can be a bit confusing due to the number of options as well as MSG not having official parking on site. In this article, let’s explore some of the most popular New York Knicks parking options.
These are the most common ways to get parking for New York Knicks games:
- Purchase a parking pass directly from the Madison Square Garden Box Office or online.
- Purchase a parking pass from an online ticket broker site like StubHub or Vivid Seats.
- Reserve a spot in a private parking lot or garage from parking sites like SpotHero.
- Find a parking lot or metered spot near the arena that allows you to pay on site.
- Use Public Transportation or Rideshare.
The price of parking can vary depending on many factors. In general, some of the cheapest parking near the arena will cost in the $20-$40 range. Again, those prices are subject to change. Certain lots and garages very near to the stadium will be much more expensive.
Madison Square Garden has very limited parking on site, which is usually not available to the public. This parking is usually reserved for VIP members, staff, players, and other personnel who are part of the event.
Purchasing a Knicks parking pass in advance can reduce hassle on gameday, but it is not required. There are several lots and metered spots near the arena that allow you to pay on site. Those spots can go fast on gameday, so you will need to plan accordingly. Let’s start by discussing how to buy a Knicks parking pass.
Where to Buy a Knicks Parking Pass
You can purchase a parking pass directly from the Madison Square Garden Box Office or online. Buying your parking pass directly from the Madison Square Garden Box Office is always the best option as long as supplies last.
The Madison Square Garden and Knicks ticket office that is located inside the Main Entrance off of 7th Avenue between 31st and 33rd Street (view this area).
If parking passes are no longer available through the arena box office, then you may need to use a ticket broker like StubHub or Vivid Seats to find a parking pass.
Private Parking for Knicks Games
There are also approximately over 50 parking lots and garages within 1 mile of Madison Square Garden that are privately owned and operated. The price and policies for these lots will vary.
You can use parking sites like SpotHero to reserve available spots in these privately-owned lots and garages near MSG.
Some (but not all) of these lots will allow you to pay on site. Reserving a spot in advance would be wise.
Traffic on Gameday
As you expect, traffic can be congested near the arena on gameday. Madison Square Garden recommends using public transpiration such as subways, buses, and the ferry if you are able.
