200 Level

(2026 Review) - Middle Tier: The 200 Level at Madison Square Garden, wrapping the arena with both side and end sections. Range of Price Points: Upper rows are among the cheapest tickets for Knicks and Rangers games, while lower side rows rank among the best views in the building. Best Views Tip: In side sections, sit in the first six rows — the entrance tunnel is at row 7, so these rows give the best sightlines and easiest access. Barstool Seats: The last row in many sections is labeled BS25 and features barstool seating. Concert Notes: For end-stage shows, sections 212 and 223 sit closest to the stage, while sections 201–207 offer a head-on view. Who Should Sit Here The 200 Level at Madison Square Garden suits a wide range of fans, from budget-minded ticket buyers up top to those chasing a near-premium view in the front side rows. If you want a strong sightline without lower-bowl pricing, the first six rows of a side section are the sweet spot. Fans who prioritize quick, easy access over a sideline angle will appreciate the compact end sections. 200 Level Seating Details The 200 Level splits into side sections and end sections. Side sections hold up to 25 rows, with row 1 at the front and the entrance tunnel at row 7. End sections are much smaller — just 3–6 rows each — which keeps them intimate and makes getting to and from your seat simple. Barstool rows (labeled BS) sit at the back of most sections. Views from the 200 Level The front rows of the side sections deliver phenomenal, club-like views for both basketball and hockey. Views get more distant as you climb toward the upper rows. End sections trade the prime sideline angle for convenience and intimacy, which many fans prefer over a higher-row sideline seat. Every section has a television monitor set up near the ground at the front, so guests in row 1 can keep an eye on replays and stats. Good to Know For hockey, the Rangers shoot twice toward sections 215–220 — worth targeting if you want the action heading your way. Note that Madison Square Garden's row 7 marks the entrance tunnel in side sections, so aim for rows 1–6 when you want the cleanest sightline.

Seating Notes

For most hockey hockey games, these seats are located on the end where the visitors shoot twice

Best Seats at MSG: Section 208 Row 1 — So, the first row in the 2nd deck of MSG this year comes with about 2 feet of extra legroom and a personal LCD flatscreen TV in front of your seat. Plus, there are cupholders on the rail (so much better than cupholders in the armrest) and a clear, unobstructed "video game" view of the court. They renovated the entire arena and this has to be the best place to sit in MSG (especially considering lower bowl costs upwards of $300 per ticket now). If you want an awesome Knicks or Rangers experience, this is absolutely the place to sit.

Best Seats in MSG: 1st Row, Personal HDTV, 25% More Legroom — Actual 1st row (nobody is in front of you). You get a clear view of everything. Own personal HDTV (32-40 inches) right in front of your seat below your knees with the ability to choose what you watch. 25% more leg room.

There's a convenient drink rail so you don't spill the drink. Because it's in the 2nd level, you won't find a better valued seat in Madison Square Garden. Best view is at half court. Seats more towards the corners are value sweet spots. Seats behind the basket are farther away from court.

Far Up in the Corner — Near the top of the section, the seats definitely feel far from the stage and the bridge above cuts down on the overall field of vision. The bridge doesn't block any part of the stage, however it does make it a bit distracting when you're trying to focus on the performance.

Video monitors are a nice touch as the views are distant, but I'd rather be closer where I can see things better with my own eyes.

Great view of a wall — Quite possibly the worst seats in madsion square garden. Not only do you lose sight of the scoreboarf but also lose sighta of half the ice because of a section the jets out infront of your view. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Awful — For the purposes of a concert there is a double obstructed view from the wall and the overhang. It's not great in row15 but 16 is just awful.
