About Madison Square Garden Entertain
About Madison Square Garden Entertain
Madison Square Garden Entertainment operates five venues — The Garden, The Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, and the Beacon Theatre in New York City, plus The Chicago Theatre — hosting nearly 6 million guests across more than 975 events in fiscal 2025. The Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes, the company's own production, represented 18% of fiscal 2025 revenue, and four of the five venues sit in a single market, New York City, which the 10-K flags as a geographic concentration risk.
Madison Square Garden Entertainment earns revenue primarily by licensing its venues to third-party promoters for a fee, supplemented by ticket sales, food and beverage, merchandise, suite licenses, and sponsorship and signage revenue, plus payments from MSG Sports under 35-year Arena License Agreements running through 2055 that require the Knicks and Rangers to play all home games at The Garden. The company owns The Garden and its underlying real estate, while it leases the Beacon Theatre and Radio City Music Hall under long-term agreements expiring in 2036 and 2038, respectively, each with a ten-year renewal option. The Madison Square Garden Complex benefits from a New York City real estate tax exemption worth $43.0 million in fiscal 2025, a benefit that elected officials have periodically called to repeal or amend. Premium hospitality — including 23 Event Level spaces, 58 Lexus Level suites, and 18 Infosys Level suites at The Garden — is primarily licensed to corporate customers under multi-year agreements with annual price escalators.
Show full overview
Beyond ordinary discretionary-spending sensitivity, MSG Entertainment carries a real estate-policy risk unusual for a leisure operator: the Madison Square Garden Complex benefits from a state-legislated New York City property tax exemption worth $43.0 million in fiscal 2025, and elected officials and the city's Independent Budget Office have periodically called for its repeal or amendment. Because the Knicks and Rangers are contractually responsible for property taxes on The Garden under the Arena License Agreements, a repeal would first reduce the annual license fee the teams pay the company, with the offset expected to be substantially less than the tax itself — meaning a policy change in a single city could compress margins in a way a more geographically diversified operator would not face.
