The Knicks plan to raise season ticket prices by an average of 6.4 percent, while the Rangers will increase season ticket prices by 4 percent.

That followed even larger price increases the year before. At more than $123 per ticket on average, the Knicks already have the most expensive seats in the league, far ahead of the Lakers, who have the second-highest priced tickets. At an average of $72.04 per ticket, the Rangers have the seventh most expensive tickets in the N.H.L. Madison Square Garden said fans will have "26 different price points" to choose from and can take advantage of a "flexible payment plan." In return, they will save money compared to individual game tickets and have first option to buy playoff tickets.
