President Donald Trump says he will attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday, even as ticket prices remain out of reach for many fans. Multiple reports describe Trump responding to frustration among New Yorkers about the cost of attending the Knicks’ Finals games in person. He tells people who cannot afford the high prices that they can watch the game on television. In the coverage, Trump is described as taking a detached stance toward complaints about affordability, with one account quoting him saying that “that’s the way life goes.” The reports also note that the cheapest available tickets for Game 3 are listed at more than $8,000 on secondary ticket markets. While Trump’s remarks focus on television viewing as an alternative, the articles consistently place his confirmation of attendance at Madison Square Garden at the center of his comments.
