Guide to Madison Square Garden: Tickets, Events, and Venue Information

Madison Square Garden sits at 4 Pennsylvania Plaza in the heart of New York City, a short escalator ride above Penn Station. Since 1968, the Garden has been home to the Knicks and the Rangers and a bucket-list stage for music’s biggest names. Billy Joel’s record-breaking residency, Phish’s New Year’s runs, and Harry Styles’ multi-night stand have all turned the arena into a singalong. From championship boxing and college hoops to star-studded comedy tapings, MSG brings unforgettable nights to Midtown.

The venue’s recent renovations elevated the fan experience, with crisp acoustics, wide concourses, and the dramatic Chase Bridges that hang above the action. Capacity is roughly 19,000 for basketball and up to 20,000 for concerts, with excellent sightlines from the lower bowl to the bridge seats. Concession stands serve New York staples alongside craft options, and getting there is simple via the subway, LIRR, or NJ Transit right beneath the building.
