A Photo With Jalen Brunson at Fanatics Fest Will Run You Nearly $1,000

The New York Knicks are bringing the band to Fanatics Fest next month. But if you want to get close to them, bring your wallet.

Reports have surfaced with rumored pricing for photo ops and autographs at the event, and the numbers are turning heads. Jalen Brunson, coming off an NBA Finals MVP run and still the heart of this roster, tops the list. A photo with him? $935. That’s not a typo.

Karl-Anthony Towns is next at $338. Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart are both listed at $283. Mitchell Robinson and Jose Alvarado will run you $169 each, and Landry Shamet is the cheapest option at $142. Autographs follow a similar scale. Towns’ signature goes from $327 to $436 depending on the item. Bridges and Hart again share a price tag at $327. Shamet and Alvarado are both $164.

The event runs July 16 through 19 at the Javits Center in New York City. A presale for Knicks-specific add-ons opens June 24, and fans who already have tickets can use their purchase email for early access. Four people max per photo op, and the autograph purchase covers one signature on an item you bring yourself.

It’s not just Knicks players either. The full Fanatics Fest lineup includes LeBron James, Tom Brady, Serena Williams, John Cena, Derek Jeter, Aaron Judge, Eli Manning, Kevin Durant, and Shaquille O’Neal. Non-athletes like Jay-Z, Kevin Hart, and Travis Scott are also scheduled. So if the Knicks prices feel steep, there’s options.

But let’s be real. The Knicks are the hometown draw, and the Villanova trio of Brunson, Bridges, and Hart has become a genuine cultural force in New York. The team is contending. The energy is real. And $935 for a photo with the guy who dragged them back to relevance? Some fans will pay it without blinking.

Others will just wait outside Javits and hope for a wave.
