Secret way into specialty seats

Section 218, Row 4, Seat 6

★★★★★

Let me come clean from the beginning; I bought a ticket in a "Wheel Chair" designated section even though I don't use a wheelchair myself. Now I know this sounds a little messed up but it is totally allowed. I asked one of the ushers how I was able to even purchase a ticket in this area and he assured me that if the tickets aren't purchased by limited mobility fans, they are then opened up to the general public. Rest assured, I'm very happy I ended up purchasing these tickets. The 200 level area behind each basket features specialty seating. The sections contain at most 8 rows, there are small TVs for replays near the railing (see bottom of photo), and the chair themselves are stuffed with extra padding for comfort. While I didn't experience the extra comfy chairs in the wheel chair section, I was able to utilize the small TVs and extra room while enjoying the game. The view itself was decent, but at times I felt a little far away from the court. Still, purchasing a ticket in these wheel chair sections behind each basket (if available) is a great way to experience these special 200 level sections without having to buy the (more expensive) specialty ticket.

200 Level
-
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
Behind the Stage
-
For some shows at Madison Square Garden, seats will be sold behind the stage. These seats will have a view to the stage, but fans purchasing these tickets should understand there will likely be some obstructions to seeing the show. Fans purchasing tickets behind the stage should be aware of the following: Content or visuals projected on screens may be out of view Portions of the stage may be obstructed by lighting or equipment The performance will face the other direction Majority of the show will be looking at the performer's back Difference by Level The views from behind the stage differ greatly by level at Madison Square Garden. Those seated in the 100 level, 200 level, and Madison Club will have the clearest views of the stage. The window out to the stage in the 400 level is greatly restricted by the height of the level and overhang above. It is the least desirable location behind the stage for this reason. The 300 level balcony seats have clearer views, but views are steep to the stage due to the height. Fans with a fear of heights might want to stay away.
