Madison Square Garden 200 Level

Features & Amenities

The 200 Level seats at Madison Square Garden offer a variety of different experiences and price points. The upper rows in these sections are some of the cheapest tickets for Knicks and Rangers games, while lower rows along the side might have the best views at MSG.

200 Level Side Sections

Sections along the side have up to 25 rows of seats with row 1 located at the front. The entrance tunnel is located at row 7, and we recommend sitting in the first six rows for the best views and most convenient access.

The front rows in side sections have phenomenal club-like views for basketball and hockey games. For end-stage concerts, sections 212 and 223 are closest to the stage.

A television monitor is setup near the ground at the front of each section. Guests in row 1 will be able to keep an eye on replays and stats. Meanwhile, the last row in many sections is labeled BS25 and includes barstool seats.

200 Level End Sections

Sections on the end of the 200 Level are much smaller than those along the side. Sections include just 3-6 rows of seats.

Fans will find better views on the sideline, but the intimacy of these sections guarantees easy access to-and-from the seats. For many, this convenience is preferred over a sideline view (especially in a higher row).

Rows labeled BS are at the back of most sections; these are bar-stool seats
A television monitor is located at the front of each section
Sections 201-207 have a head-on view for end-stage concerts
The Rangers shoot twice towards sections 215-220

"Incredible seats"
(Section 221) - ★★★★★ -
Great view, almost center ice. Would recommend to anyone. Better atmosphere than 100 level.
"Very far away and the lighting in the way. "
(Section 209) - ★★★ -
Horrible ..very far but expecting far but not the many obstructions that were there. Lots of steps up and steep. Once seated, the lighting dropped low enough to completely block the screen prohibiting view of the singer standing at the mic for the whole show. The screen was also blocked by the light...
"Poor Angle From So Far Away"
(Section 222) - ★★ -
Sometimes being close to the stage isn't always a good thing. In my case, I was near the left side of the stage on the upper seating tier, but I was all the way up in Row 24 where I couldn't really see much other than the side of the performance. I thought maybe being on the right aisle seat of ...

Which seats are the best for a couple at an affordable price? Also, we're Pacers fans so away from all the hardcore Knicks fans!

To find affordable tickets, you generally will have to look for seating in the upper sections and further from mid court. You may find that seats in the corners and behind the basket will be cheaper, however we recommend considering other sections first as these locations can have views that are obstructed by the basket. The first few rows in the 200 level near mid court (209-213 and 223-227) are good seats that you can find at a good price. For a visiting Pacers fan, we would also be inclined to recommend section 106 as it is located near the visiting team bench, but being on the 100 level comes with an increase in cost as well....

How is Section 224 for concerts at Madison Square Garden?

Jan 2014

---

In a traditional end stage configuration, Section 224 will be one of the better seating options on the 200 level for a concert at Madison Square Garden. The views will be further and higher up from the second seating tier, but section 224 will have you in a good area to see the front of the performers without being too far away (some sections closer to the stage on the 200 level will have a more extreme side angle view)....
