Editor's Note

This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information and offers.  

Next time you find yourself at Madison Square Garden (MSG) with a Chase card, make sure you check out the renovated Chase lounge. It's one of the many benefits Chase cardholders can access at this iconic venue.

Manhattan's Madison Square Garden is the home base of both the NBA's New York Knicks and the NHL's New York Rangers. It is also one of the most popular concert venues in the world and hosts events like circuses, ice skating shows, boxing and professional wrestling.

Many fans are unaware that Chase customers receive preferential treatment at the Garden, so let's dig into the benefits.

Chase Lounge

The renovated 4,300-square-foot lounge located on the Lexus Terrace at Madison Square Garden is a delightful retreat from the crowded hallways and concession stands circling the arena. The new lounge is exclusively available to Chase debit and credit card members, but you must reserve a spot in advance.

With a maximum capacity of 250, it's important to note that only four guests can accompany you at a time, and each guest must have a valid ticket for the event. The lounge offers complimentary food and nonalcoholic beverages.

With a large bar in the center of the lounge — and plenty of seating surrounding it — this is an ideal space for relaxing and avoiding the busy hallways and concession stands throughout the venue.

Looking for an even more luxe, private space? Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholders can get access to the inner Chase Sapphire Reserve Lounge, which has its own bar and seating.

Chase Preferred Seating

When purchasing through Ticketmaster and using a Chase card, customers can access special blocks of seats with the best location and view. In New York, you can access Preferred Seating at Madison Square Garden Entertainment-owned venues across the city.

Advance sales

As concertgoers saw with the Capital One Taylor Swift presale, having certain cards can increase your chances of snagging a ticket to sought-after events. Chase is no different at this venue, as its cardholders can receive advance access to certain sports and entertainment events.

Sports merchandise offers

When shopping at MSG Team Stores or Chase Square (the expansive lobby at the Seventh Avenue entrance), you can receive $20 off your purchase when you spend $100 with your Chase credit or debit card. This offer is only valid for Knicks and Rangers items.

Food and drink offers

When you dine at MSG concession stands and pay with your Chase credit or debit card, you can receive a $5 discount off your bill after spending $30. This offer is not valid at bars.

Numerous options are open to the public on the 100 Level (Infosys Concourse), 200 Level (Pepsi Concourse) and Chase Bridge. Some of the highlights include the Carnegie Deli, Mike's Hot Honey, Fuku, Tao Sushi, Kobeyaki and Avenue Cantina. In addition, there are branches of Garden Market at the Bud Light Blue Seats in sections 416, 417 and 419.

Season ticket benefits

Holders of season tickets who renew their subscription with a Chase credit or debit card can receive exclusive offers, such as invites to MSG VIP events and high-end, collectible memorabilia.

Additional venues

Similar special perks for Chase cardholders are available at other facilities owned by Madison Square Garden Entertainment, such as Radio City Music Hall in New York City and The Chicago Theatre in Illinois.

Bottom line

Madison Square Garden is an iconic venue that offers world-class entertainment and access to exclusive spaces like the Chase Lounge. If you're a Chase cardholder — or a Chase customer — take advantage of these benefits the next time you're at MSG.
