RYS Expert Reviews

100 Level Baseline (Basketball)

- Despite having a view behind the basket, these seats have more height to them than the Floor seats. This makes it easier to see over the people in front of you and gives you a better view of the entire court. Each section has 15 rows of seating labeled 6-20, with the entrance to the concourse located at the top of each section. 

100 Level Goal (Hockey)

- Each 100 level end section contains 15 rows of seating with Row 6 being first and Row 20 being last. Sections 111-113 are very popular among Rangers fans because they are behind the net where the Rangers attack in the first and third periods. Generally speaking, you will be looking through the glass to see the action inside the nearest blue line and above the glass to see the rest of the ice. Unlike most seating on the lower level, these are not club seats, which makes them the cheapest option for Rangers tickets on the lower level. Some fans will complain that the other end of the ice is too far away, while others will celebrate being the first to know when a goal is scored on their end of the ice. 

Behind the Stage

(2026 Review) - Behind-Stage Seating: Sold only for select shows at Madison Square Garden, with a view to the stage but likely obstructions.  Expect the Performer's Back: The performance faces away, so you'll spend most of the show looking at the artist's back.  Screens May Be Out of View: Content or visuals projected on screens may not be visible, and parts of the stage can be blocked by lighting or equipment.  View Varies by Level: The 100 level, 200 level, and Madison Club offer the clearest looks; the 400 level is the least desirable.  Who Should Sit Here  These seats at Madison Square Garden suit budget-minded fans who mainly want to be in the building for the energy of a sold-out show and don't mind a compromised view. If seeing every screen visual and facing the performer head-on matters to you, look elsewhere.  Behind the Stage Location & Details  Behind-stage seats sit directly behind the performance and are only released for some shows. They span multiple levels, and the experience differs greatly depending on where you land:  100 & 200 Levels and Madison Club: The clearest views of the stage from behind.  300 Level Balcony: Clearer views, but steep down to the stage due to the height — fans with a fear of heights may want to avoid it.  400 Level: The window to the stage is greatly restricted by the height of the level and the overhang above, making it the least desirable spot behind the stage.  Views from Behind the Stage  All behind-stage seats face the back of the performance, so the majority of the show is viewed from behind the artist. Portions of the stage may be obstructed by lighting or equipment, and projected screen content may fall out of view. Clarity improves in the lower levels and Madison Club, while the 300 level trades a clearer sightline for a steep angle and the 400 level suffers most from overhang. 

Seating Notes

  • The Rangers shoot twice towards this end of the ice

    Billy Joel. So close to the action. Brilliant view of band and crowd. — I was hesitant about buying seats behind the stage, but these seats were excellent. We travelled from Australia to see Billy at MSG and we were not disappointed! The stage is quite open at the back so we could easily see the band members and Billy really well. Billy's piano rotates every song and as these seats are off to the side a little we could see his face often. The band members at the back often turned around to include us in the action too. There are definitely a few times when the action faces forward, particularly a couple of songs when Billy played guitar. Also, we couldn't really see any screens from our seats, but as we were so close that didn't matter. Overall, I felt we were much closer to the action in these seats than the equivalent priced seats in the stands behind the floor.

    I do think being a few rows back, so higher up, was a good choice. The seats in this section right near the front would I think have a more impeded view of the stage.

    I sat in a great section. — The seats were tighter than size 5 shoes on a size 8 foot and the man sitting next to me clearly had no idea that he should have his coat cleaned.

  • Seating and Ticket Q&A

  • What are baseline seats for section 111?

    Hello, thank you for your question. The seats in section 111 are the 100 level baseline seats at Madison Square Garden. The seats are not on the court level and they are behind the basket. However, despite having a view behind the basket, these seats have more height to them than the Floor seats. Having a higher viewing point makes it easier to see over the people in front of you and gives you a better view of the court.
