  • Madison Square Garden has announced that their All Access Tour will introduce five brand new enhancements offering patrons a more interactive experience when touring this famed venue. This must-see behind-the-scenes tour invites guests to an exclusive look at what it takes to be the World's Most Famous Arena. The MSG All Access Tour is the next best thing to a backstage pass at the iconic venue and is a must see stop when visiting New York City.

    "Madison Square Garden is one of the world's most renowned venues showcasing the biggest names and attractions in the entertainment and sports business," says Steve Collins, senior vice president and general manager of arena operations and business development for Madison Square Garden. "The All Access Tour allows patrons to get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at this world-class venue. The latest tour enhancements include simulated athlete photo opportunities and access to sit on the New York Rangers hockey bench, which will allow guests from all over the world to experience the legacy that makes this venue the World's Most Famous Arena."


    For more than 130 years, Madison Square Garden has been a centerpiece of New York City, offering the ultimate experience in sports and entertainment where the greatest legends have been made from athletes to artists. Guests will enjoy a one-hour behind-the-scenes guided tour as they walk through the world's busiest arena, host to over 400 events and 4 million people each year. The All Access Tour takes guests through the 10-story, 8-acre building with visits to team locker rooms, luxury suites and the famous arena.

    This year, the All Access Tour will offer new enhancements allowing visitors a more in-depth look at this famous arena. The five specific additions of the tour include:

    Brand new life-size cutouts of Knicks point guard Nate Robinson, Liberty shooting guard Shameka Christon, and Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist will create a unique photo opportunity for patrons to capture as a keepsake of the tour.

    • Guests will be able to take part in the thrill and excitement that the players feel at each home game by standing on the apron of the basketball court or sitting on the Rangers hockey bench.

    Q&A and photo opportunity with one of the Knicks City Dancers. The Knicks City Dancer will discuss what life is like as a member of the dance team as well as share some of her memories and experiences from both on and off the court.

    • Complimentary fact sheets created in six different languages -- English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, and Japanese -- to relay the marvel and history of Madison Square Garden to patrons visiting from all over the world

    • Your very own souvenir Madison Square Garden backstage pass.

    Many of the greatest moments in sports and entertainment history have all been created at Madison Square Garden. Patrons will be able to view championship banners including the Knicks first NBA Championship win at the Garden in May 1970 and The Rangers Stanley Cup victory in June 1994. The Garden has also played host the biggest names in music such as the Grateful Dead, Madonna, Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake and the Jonas Brothers.

    Patrons on the tour will also learn about the logistics of a "changeover" where the arena floor is converted from a hockey rink, basketball court, and concert floor. It's not unusual for the Garden to host the Ringling Brothers circus in the afternoon and a hockey or basketball game at night!

    Guests that take part in the All Access Tour cannot help but feel the rich sense of history that has been created within the venue. No one visiting New York City should miss the chance to take the tour and experience this exclusive look at the World's Most Famous Arena.

    Tickets may also be purchased at the Madison Square Garden or Radio City Music Hall offices, all Ticketmaster outlets, or call Ticketmaster at 866- 858-0008. Tickets are priced at $18.50 for adults, $15 for senior citizens, $12 for children under 12 and $15 for private groups of 20 or more. Contact the Madison Square Garden Group Sales Department at 212-465-6080 for special group rates.

    Tour content and prices are subject to change without notice.
