I'm so happy that Cardi B held her concert at MSG & sold it out. Of course I took too long and had to get resell tickets for her concert so I got left with the scraps which was in the nose bleed seats. But one thing about the Garden no matter where you sit you can see. Don't get me wrong I won't do that again, no more last minute tickets for me. However, I'm glad it worked out. The seats were nice & comfy & the concert was Amazing. But I also wanna shout out the staff at MSG. They were sooo nice and helpful. The people at the food area were nice & the lady serving the drinks by the area of our seats was extra nice. I really appreciated them. read more

I visited Madison Square Garden in New York, NY [4 Pennsylvania Plz] on Sunday, 03/15/26, around 7 PM. I came here because of the basketball battle of the coasts: New York Knicks (New York-East Coast) vs. Golden State Warriors (California-West Coast). Upon entering the building, there were many security lines to go through for clearance. One of the security staff members gave me a bit of difficulty with going through the scanner a total of three times and constantly checking my coat. Next, the building itself was huge to navigate through. My seat was located in Section 416, so I had to go all the way to the top of the building. Thankfully, I was able to take the escalators. There were a lot of food stands (standard snacks like hot dogs, pretzels, etc) and alcohol drink booths readily available. Bathrooms were also reasonably stationed in a fair distance. When the basketball game concluded, it was a bit of a hassle to get out. The escalators were completely shut down, so people had to take the flight of stairs down. Overall, Madison Square Garden is a fantastic hub for sporting games like the NBA, as well as other events, including concerts. Despite the slight hiccup with security and the closure of the escalators, I still had an amazing experience with the spectacular view of the Knicks vs. Warriors game. read more

NHL Arena #13 for me. It's an iconic and historic arena, very old, but they have done a lot of work on the arena to modernize it a bit. Lots of cool photo ops outside the main entrance. Seats still very small and it does feel very cramped. Feels pretty weird in person because it is very recessed lighting over the seats so it is kind of dark. Decent amount of food options available and bathroom lines moved pretty quickly. Good thing is it is right next to Penn station, so you can hop on a subway to and from the game or get a taxi in front of the arena. I'm not even sure if anyone actually drives and where to park if there is an event at the arena. Glad I got to check off visiting the garden off of my bucket list. read more

Otherwise, nice clean venue with efficient staff read more

The iconic Madison Square Garden. I've already visited this arena, but it still puts me in awe. The famous concave ceiling alone is a reason to visit, but I came to watch a hockey game. The atmosphere is so lively especially during a sporting event. The concessions are fast moving and decently priced. My only complaint is the egress, but that's a problem with most venues holding such a large capacity of people. read more

Five Stars: Madison Square Garden The World's Most Famous Arena Look, New York doesn't do subtle. It does loud, it does historic, it does "you either get it or you don't." And nothing gets it quite like stepping into the Garden. This place isn't the biggest arena on the planet hell, it's not even the biggest in the NBA anymore, clocking in around 20,000 seats while some Midwestern megadomes push past that. But size is for people who need to compensate. MSG is grand. It's elite. It's the kind of joint where the air feels thicker with ghosts the second you walk in. Four buildings have carried the name since 1879 started as P.T. Barnum's circus pit, saw a scandalous murder on the roof of the second one, hosted Ali-Frazier in '71 when the world stopped to watch two men try to kill each other and every iteration has carried the same truth: if you're playing here, singing here, fighting here, you've arrived. The location? Perfect. Right on top of Penn Station, smack in the sweaty heart of Manhattan. You stumble out of the train, up the escalators, and bam you're in it. No apologies, no excuses. Just concrete and possibility. Whether it's the Knicks dropping a heartbreaking buzzer-beater, the Rangers finally hoisting the Cup in '94, or some musician who's waited their whole career to sell this place out, the experience is the same: electric. Intimate in a way bigger venues can only dream of, thanks to that cable-suspended ceiling that keeps the sound tight and the crowd close. You feel every roar, every miss, every high note. Getting in the door feels like earning something. Doesn't matter if it's hoops, a title fight, or Springsteen it's the pinnacle. The New York pinnacle. I've eaten in better restaurants, sure. Drunk in dive bars with more soul. But nothing captures this city's arrogant, beautiful pulse like the Garden on a big night. It's not perfect lines suck, prices gouge, the acoustics can be unforgiving but who wants perfect? Perfect is boring. This is legendary. This is alive. Go. Pay the money. Fight the crowd. Feel the history hit you like a right hook. Five stars. No hesitation. The World's Most Famous Arena still earns the title. read more

Phenomenally built monstrosity of a building. The lighting is spectacular. All the service people are very helpful, and always willing to help in anyway possible.

MSG - thought I'd written a review though apparently not! I've been here on multiple occasions in the past for sporting events, circus, concerts. It's certainly one of the premier venues for all types of sports and performances--anyone who can get booked at MSG has massive star power, it's a lifetime achievement milestone for most. Interestingly enough the current venue was only built in 1968, prior to this it existed in three other iterations in a couple locations around the city. The original building was constructed 1879, a roofless structure close to Madison Square Park initially named the Great Roman Hippodrome by PT Barnum (yes with his circus of the same name, which in those years was the arena's source of profitability) though subsequently renamed Madison Square Garden by owner William Vanderbilt. The second version was built in 1890 in the Beaux-Arts style, the third built in 1925 at 50th Street and 8th Avenue with a capacity for 18,000 people. MSG is the largest of indoor venues in the NYC metro area, smaller than MetLife Stadium in NJ which has about 85,000 seats and Yankee stadium's 46,500, but those are open to the elements. The Garden's 20,000 seats (as set up for concerts, 19,000 for sporting events), makes it larger than both Barclay's in Brooklyn with 17,700 and UBS Arena in Elmont which seats 19,000. MSG is the most centrally located in Manhattan and easily accessible via all forms of public transportation from train, subway, bus, bike or walking by foot. There are many parking options and ride share to a nearby drop off is simple too. My last event here was a Paramore concert and prior to that a couple Knicks basketball games. Will say for the concert, lighting and sound were terrific, I wasn't sure if I should be concerned when the entire level of seats vibrated as all the attendees were clapping and singing together with some of the songs, though I imagine happens all the time here. For the basketball games there's a clear view from every seat though it really depends on how close to ground level you are, to determine the details you can see. read more

Nothing like a night at Madison Square Garden to remind me why I love talking about the holy trinity: food, service, and ambiance. First of all, the food. Is it five-star dining? No. Did I still absolutely demolish it like a champion between plays? Absolutely. When you're surrounded by thousands of screaming fans, even a simple hot dog starts tasting like it earned a Michelin star. Second, the service. These workers move faster than a point guard on a fast break. I blinked and somehow had a drink, snacks, and change in my hand. Efficiency level: New York. And the ambiance? Come on. The lights, the crowd, the roar when something big happens--it's electric. You're not just watching an event, you're part of the chaos, the energy, the whole beautiful madness. So yes, I came for the show... but you already know I stayed to analyze the food, judge the service, and soak in the vibe like a true professional. Call it research. read more

Over the past couple of years, I have attended several concerts at Madison Square Garden, including Wisin y Yandel, Aventura, and most recently, Ricardo Arjona. I'm always excited to visit MSG. The bathrooms were clean, and while I didn't get any food, I did have some drinks. They are pricey, but they are definitely strong, which makes them worth it. The service from the bartender was great; he was very helpful in explaining the different drink options. The lady working in the bathroom was also lovely, guiding everyone and ensuring the facility stayed clean. I always prefer to sit in Section 105 because it's so close to the stage. En los últimos dos años, he ido a varios conciertos en el Madison Square Garden. He estado en el de Wisin Y Yandel, en el de Aventura y, el más reciente, el de Ricardo Arjona. Siempre me emociona visitar el MSG. Los baños estaban limpios; no compré comida, pero sí bebidas. Son caras, pero definitivamente cargadas (fuertes), así que valen la pena. El servicio del chico que preparaba las bebidas fue excelente; me explicó los diferentes tragos. La señora del baño también fue muy amable, guiando a todos y asegurándose de que todo estuviera limpio. Siempre prefiero sentarme en el nivel 105 porque está muy cerca. read more

Why 3 stars? Because my insanely expensive seats were partially obstructed. --- --- --- MSG was arguably #1 on my NBA bucket list for many years. I intended on visiting for a long time, but it just never worked out. This past August when the schedule came out, I was eagerly awaiting to find out when the Cavs would be in town. As it turned out, the two visits would be Christmas Day (not happening) and Opening Night. That was not ideal for me, but what sealed the deal is that the Cavs second game ended up being two nights later in Brooklyn, which meant I could double-dip. So I signed up to receive information on when tickets would go on sale, but nothing ever came. But I knew I would have the opportunity to get tickets via the Chase pre-sale, as a long time owner of multiple Chase cards. That day finally came, and it turned out, I needed some kind of a pre-sale code that never came. I had this date circled on my calendar, and then I frantically scoured for the code. Fortunately, a kind soul shared their presale code with me and I was able to grab a couple tickets. To my complete and utter dismay, two tickets that were literally in the top row of the building, cost $335 each. I have attended World Series games for less than that. That's ABSURD for a regular season NBA game. However, I chalked it up to a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list event and got suckered into paying it. Fast forward to game night. Gates only open one hour before tip-off? So bizarre. Every NBA arena I've ever been to is 90 minutes, and I think some even do 2 hours for playoff games. This really makes it a tight squeeze to get everyone in and seated. We get to our seats: near midcourt, but as I mentioned, the top row (excluding the wheel chair row) Section 224, Row 22, Seats 3 and 4. And what's in front of us? Some fairly newly installed add-on with suites. We can fully see the court, but 70% of the videboard is cut-off. Instead, we have to look at a small, off-center screen that's placed on the back of this eye sore that's blocking our view. I sit in this same area at every arena I've been to (this + Barclay's brings my active arena count to 12), and I have never encountered anything like this. I was also disappointed to not be able to look up at the signature MSG ceiling that you always see on TV. I kind of felt robbed of the full experience. And at that price, it was a tough pill to swallow. Lastly, I didn't get to walk around the entire concourse as I always do when I visit a new venue. Because we were on a tight schedule due to the aforementioned one hour from gates to tip off + the fact that everyone was doing the same thing, it was just too crowded to make my way around the whole thing. So I'm sure I missed a few cool things, but from what I did see, it was perfectly fine with some character and uniqueness about it. I did think the giant LED boards above the security/check-in area were really cool. They rotated a bunch of graphics and were a nice thing to look at as we waited to get into the building. And of course, the celebrities in the building is a big thing that makes going to a game in New York so unique. There were close to 10 of them that they showed at various points during the game. I just wondered what they all do when it's time to leave their courtside seat and walk into the masses of people. Overall, I'm glad I finally checked MSG off the list, but I never need to go back again. Especially not at that price. read more

MSG is central in New York City. Host of concerts, sports events and heck, my grad school graduation ceremony was held here somewhere. Parking is available at plenty of outrageously priced garages in the area and maybe a few reasonable ones. Public transportation is an option as well and Penn station is right next door. Entrances run smoothly with metal detectors, screenings, bag checks and one you're inside, you can purchase souvenirs, head to a lounge, get food, drinks or go to your seats. There's plenty of security and they keep the facility clean (at least, what I saw). I suggest you either don't buy booze or drink outside before coming in. Prices for alcohol are nuts. Whatever you think it'll cost, double or triple it. The venue size is nice and every seat is somewhat of a good seat. Don't get a floor seat at a rock concert if you don't want to stand the whole time. Everyone around you will be standing. The rest of the place has stadium seating. Exiting was a breeze, but bathroom breaks are very crowded. Try to get there before or after the break rushes. read more

Madison Square Garden - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - New York, New York

I did the tour of Madison Square Garden, and it was a thorough disappointment. And this isn't indicative of our guide Jeff H (?), who, while eccentric, was engaging and fine. The tour will run you $52, and for what you get to "see," it just isn't worth it. First, you get to walk along the concourse and be told about some of the things that have happened here. Which you obviously don't need a tour to do. Next, you are shown pictures in an area "the public doesn't have access to", which is a bit of a misnomer. That is because they are in the area of the VIP suites. While us regular folks are probably never going to have the opportunity or finances to rent one of those suites, to say the public doesn't have access to them is, as I said, a bit of a misnomer. You are then brought to the sky bridge above the arena, which is probably 1 of 2 spots that are actually and legitimately not available for the public to see. And while a different and nice view, it, along with the 2nd spot I'll discuss later, doesn't justify the price or make the tour worth it. You are then brought to the arena floor, which we had limited access to because they were setting up for a concert. Lastly, we got to "see" the locker rooms. Which, again, I'll use the word misnomer. Because while you get to see the locker rooms, it's just from the doorway. You don't actually get to go into the locker room. The lockers were empty, so it's not like anyone could/would steal anything. So the view from the doorway had to do. Overall, it just wasn't worth it. Admittedly, I'm a Boston fan, so someone who is a New York sports fan may appreciate it more, but for me, it was a waste. And honestly, the only reason I'm giving 3 is that the guide was great. Lastly, I also lost out on $4. I had booked the Radio City Music Hall Tour for the week before, and I had booked both tours at the same time the previous month. But when you go on one tour, you get a $4 voucher on your lanyard for the other. So don't book both at the same time if you do the Radio City Music Hall Tour. And you can save yourself $4. read more

So...huge Islanders fan, and moved away from NY after college, although my family was still here..and now only my brother. That said, haven't been to the Garden since the late 80's at best.... Went last night for the Red Hot Hockey and was very much impressed by the friendliness, warmth and professionalism from EVERY employee I interacted with, literally from the security screening guy, to the ushers, bathroom attendant, t shirt sales woman, the Chase Lounge staff, and the young man on our section's help desk.

Sat in section 326 - don't do it. MSG carved out these nosebleed seats with plexiglass Vertical cage (think doctor's office receptionist) viewing of the concert taking place well below you. Also, the fire hazard narrow hallways to get to your seat were scary. The place is freezing- no heat - felt like the a/c was on They don't run the escalators back down to the street level at the end of the concert- they are just stuck in 1/2 high steps ready for a major lawsuit when someone falls walking down. Ushers are very nice and helpful. Ticketmaster and Stub hub are rip off artists. read more

Starting off by saying that the concert I saw here was Lady Gaga. The concert itself was EPIC and AMAZING and just NEXT LEVEL! The concert and the vibes in the arena were an 100/5! Now for the venue itself. It is such an iconic spot to see a concert. However, it feels like it needs a renovation. The entrances feel very cramped and the night we were there the escalators were all broken on our way out so we had to walk down multiple flights. The bathrooms could have been cleaner and even though there were attendants, they weren't doing a great job of keeping the line moving and directing people to open stalls. The drinks were overpriced, which is to be expected, but my friend and I got the same drink and they were not evenly filled. Disappointing when you are paying $20 for a vodka soda! The venue had amazing energy, but the seats are very tight. Everyone was standing and dancing the whole time so it was fine, but if you were seeing something that was a different vibe, it would definitely be tight. Overall, you can't beat seeing a show here for how iconic it is! I just wish they would level up on the overall experience. read more

Attended my 1st concert ever last night at MSG. The venue is very clean and sorta organized. They could do a little better at organizing the flow of the crowd going in but then again it's New York. The concession stand typical high prices for simple things but warning if you get a water bottle they take the cap off which makes it uncomfortable if you want to put it down. Because I was skeptical I'd spill it or someone put something in my water if I placed it down. The seating is tight in the rows. The lady to the left of me her bottom was basically at my arm because she was sitting in a slant towards her husband and on my right was my husband whose elbows or legs keep Hitting mine. The leg room in front close to none but doable if you stood up on occasion. For the artist I went to see there was no souvenir spot for him. I went for my husband he is a fan of the artist and I had promised him a souvenir but none were available. They had the boot leg Tees outside but I didn't opt for that. So I sat in section 226 seat 22 row 23 The picture I took was the view of the stage. So not bad for my 1st experience. Are all venues this tight? Share your favorite venue Enjoy! read more

Well, I was fortunate to witness history being made by Zakir Khan--the first Indian artist to perform at Madison Square Garden in Hindi. What a night it was! The venue, the vibe, and the atmosphere were simply fantastic and unlike anything else. The gates opened at 6 PM, and entry was smooth with no rush. Even though I was seated in Section 210, it was easy to find my way. The show itself was unforgettable--Zakir made us proud. There were moments that moved us to tears; he truly is a magician with words and emotions. The energy inside MSG makes every performance feel special. The acoustics are surprisingly good for such a massive space, and the overall setup really amplifies the experience. Being in Midtown Manhattan, the location is super convenient--accessible by subway, train, or even on foot if you're exploring nearby. Security and lines were well managed, and the staff kept everything running smoothly. Seating is comfortable, though higher sections can feel a bit steep, as expected in arenas. Food and beverages are definitely on the expensive side, but considering the venue and the experience, it feels worth it. Madison Square Garden truly lives up to its name as "The World's Most Famous Arena." More than just a venue, it's an experience. And on this night with Zakir Khan, it was nothing short of historic--an evening I'll never forget. read more

Worldwide renowned but not really better than other similarly sized stadiums. Located right next to penn station so it's easy to attend if you're coming from outside of town. Plenty of food options in the area; right next to k-town and lots of establishments both inside and out of penn station nearby. That being said you, even though food is more expensive inside they do have some unique options like Mike's Hot Honey and Paulie Gee's Pizza. There is a delta lounge accessible to anyone with floor seats; if you have the delta skymiles free account you are offered a free house liquor drink which is nice. Staff are incredibly friendly. There are multiple merch stations both before and after you enter security checkpoints. There is also an in person box office which I haven't personally used but have heard the process is quite chaotic. Also love that they do NOT have a clear bag policy which can be cumbersome to adhere to. read more

Why do I feel like the Garden has gotten better. My sisters surprised me with Kesha tickets and compared to the last time I saw her at another venue, this experience was 10x better. The show itself was great! The seats were in section 210 and we were right in front of the screens, but also had a nice view of the stage. We arrived around 6:10 and had enough time to grab a drink and Pauline Gee's pizza. The staff at each kiosk were super sweet. The show....sounded great...felt great...

The venue handled everything so smoothly, from entry to seating, and you can really tell how experienced they are at hosting major events like this. One thing I really appreciated was the staff and security. They made sure everyone respected the rules, but did so in such a kind, friendly, and professional way, which honestly made a big difference in the overall vibe of the night.

I thought I reviewed MSG already. Years ago, they provided great customer service when we got caught in a nest of loud douchebags at Weezer/Pixies. Last night I saw Haim and was wavering due to high ticket prices. I thought section 309 was on the shady skybridge but proceeded when I realized it was one of the "lounges," on the less vertigo-inducing mainland of MSG. This was an intriguing experience, with a "bad" seat but also a hint of glamour. Presumably these sections are available on a case-by-case basis if they go unused by OpenAI or Crypto.com or whoever buys massive sections of tickets these days. There are two regular rows. You want row two because of the protective glass in the first row. I was glad to get a lobby seat but this also means the higher glass for the walkway will be partly in your view. Then there's a barstool row, with tickets labeled "BS". Perhaps not the most comfortable seats but you might be able to handle 90 minutes. The view was surprisingly good from up here and given today's current concert behavior I also enjoyed the lower density environment. I can't speak to the Veselka pierogies or the Korean fried chicken. But I can applaud the speedy security lines. And overall MSG seems more user-friendly than Barclays, which punishes you for "only" spending $90 for a ticket. read more

I went to see Tom Segura: Come Together comedy show on a Saturday night this past weekend.

They have pizza slices, burgers, and a full bar. So happy about the food options that are now at this iconic venue. Madison Square garden is always a blast. I had a fun time at the comedy show. The people around me were all friendly and I didn't see any ruckus or any drama with the attendees.

My Dad was in town, and had always wanted to go to MSG but had never been. We realized there was a Rangers game in his short stint here, so pulled the trigger on some tickets. He's Canadian, so he's a big hockey guy. We got there a bit early, and each got a pretzel, a hot dog, and a diet coke for tip off... or whatever they call it in hockey. Puck drop maybe? We sat there at center ice, munching on our glizzys watching the Rangers dominate the Flyers. I'm generally pretty apathetic towards hockey, but live hockey games are ELECTRIC. Every time the Rangers scored, the fans had this crazy chant that took me completely off guard. Everyone yells in unison. I felt like I was at a college sporting event. I love this kind of passion. As I was sitting there in section 107, I realized I'm at the age now where my dad is my friend more than a dad. He's done his parenting job, so now we can just chill. It was so fun just being posted at a hockey game and ripping into a pretzel with my pops, picking his brain about all the different rules and nuances to hockey. I'll have this memory for the rest of my life, so thank you MSG. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

MSG is a New York institution and I've been coming my whole life. It has its pros and cons. There's some terrible seats and some very good seats. The arena isn't too steep so when you walk up to your seat you don't feel like you're going to fall to your death. The Chase bridge seats are comfortable and I like that they have a table. The view is mostly garbage but at least no one is sitting in front of you. A few years ago, the Chase lounge was pretty good and a nice perk. Now the Chase lounge stinks, and they don't even sell merch in the lounge anymore which was a big perk - getting to skip the long merch lines. They also used to give out Chase cookies in the lounge but I did not see any the last time I went. Bathroom lines are generally not long and there's plenty of bathrooms in each section. Food selection has really flourished in recent years though I usually opt to eat before a show because the food is ridiculously overpriced. Staff are generally courteous and helpful but not overly friendly or warm, typical NY vibe. Sound is pretty good and as it is near a bunch of transportation, you can't beat it.
