Best sections

Lower bowl (100s)

Closest to the action and priciest — sections 6–9 and 113–117 face center court/ice.

Club / Lounge (200s)

Wider seats and in-seat service; a comfortable mid-tier splurge.

Upper bowl (400s)

Best value. The 200-level overhang is minimal, so sightlines stay good even high up.

Insider tips

  • Enter via the Seventh or Eighth Avenue entrances to avoid the busiest Penn Station crowds.
  • Aisle seats in the 100s sell at a premium — compare the all-in total before paying for them.
