    Seat Forward

    Donate Your Knicks Tickets

    Can't make the game at the Garden? Turn your seats into a kid's first Knicks night.

    A night at Madison Square Garden is one of the hottest tickets in the city — and when you can't use yours, they don't have to go to waste. Seat Forward places your Knicks tickets with a young person, veteran, or family who has never seen the Garden light up. Your donation is tax-deductible, the transfer takes minutes, and an empty seat becomes a first game they'll remember for life.

    No tickets to give? Fund a seat with a gift instead — from $75.

    What type of event is this?

    Why estimated value? Knicks ticket values swing widely by opponent and seat location at Madison Square Garden. Use the face value on your ticket or your Ticketmaster order confirmation as the fair market value. As a 501(c)(3), we'll send an acknowledgment letter reflecting the game and quantity you donate.

    Questions

    Good to Know

    My Knicks tickets are on Ticketmaster — how do I donate them?

    After you submit, we'll email step-by-step instructions to transfer your tickets through Ticketmaster to our program account. It takes just a few minutes.

    Can I donate season-plan games I can't attend?

    Yes. Many donors are season-plan holders who send forward the individual Knicks games they can't make. Enter the game details in the form for each donation.

    Who receives the tickets?

    Through vetted community partners, your seats go to NYC youth, veterans, and families experiencing a game for the first time. You'll get confirmation once your donation is placed.
