About Madison Square Garden
The current Madison Square Garden — the fourth venue to carry the name — opened in February 1968 above Pennsylvania Station in Midtown Manhattan. It was designed by architecture firm Charles Luckman Associates. The arena has hosted some of sport's and music's most celebrated moments, including the 1970 and 1973 NBA Championship victories for the Knicks, numerous NHL playoff runs by the Rangers, and legendary concerts by artists such as Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones, and Billy Joel, who holds the record for the most sold-out shows at the venue. A major renovation was completed in phases between 2011 and 2013.
MSG carries an electric, almost mythic atmosphere that few arenas can match. Knicks and Rangers fans are famously passionate and vocal, creating an intense, wall-of-sound experience for big games. The arena's relatively intimate bowl design means no seat feels truly distant from the action. For concerts, the circular layout and acoustics have made it a benchmark venue that artists aspire to headline.
Madison Square Garden is one of the most in-demand places to watch live sport and entertainment in New York, with room for around 20,789 fans on a big night. Staadly lists verified resale tickets for every event here, all-in priced and backed by the 100% buyer guarantee.
