The Boston Celtics are one of the most iconic franchises in professional sports—synonymous with basketball history, championship standards, and a home-crowd intensity that can be felt from the opening tip. A Celtics game isn't just "something to do in Boston." It's a full-on event: the arena lights, the player introductions, the roar after a made three, and the momentum swings that make the NBA so addictive live.
The Celtics play their home games at TD Garden, located above North Station in the heart of the city. The building is engineered for atmosphere—tight sightlines, loud sections, and a crowd that knows the game. When Boston gets rolling, TD Garden turns into a pressure cooker, especially in prime-time matchups and rivalry games. If you've been watching from home and waiting for the right time to experience it in person, this is it—Box Office Ticket Sales makes it easy to browse options and secure verified Celtics tickets for the game you want.
Celtics nights are also perfect for groups: friends meeting downtown for a high-energy outing, families choosing a weekend game, visitors checking off a Boston bucket-list experience, or diehards targeting a marquee opponent. Because demand spikes rapidly for specific dates (weekends, holiday periods, rivalry games, and playoff pushes), the best-value seats can disappear quickly. If you're ready to turn "maybe" into "we're going," browse Boston Celtics tickets now on Box Office Ticket Sales and lock in your section before inventory tightens.
TD Garden's basketball configuration offers strong views throughout the bowl. Still, your experience can vary significantly depending on where you sit—closer action vs. broader strategy vs. budget-friendly options. Choosing the right seat comes down to what you value most: proximity, comfort, price, or a midcourt perspective.
Common seating types you'll find at TD Garden
Using seating charts to pick the right view
Because seating configurations and available sections can vary, it's smart to use TD Garden's event tools, such as seat-finding resources and event pages, when planning your game.
When shopping on Box Office Ticket Sales, use the interactive map to compare sections quickly and spot the best deals while they're still available. If you're trying to maximize your experience:
Quick tip: if you're buying multiple seats, the best "together" options can vanish first—so if you see the right row at the right price, it's often wise to secure your seats immediately.
TD Garden is one of the most accessible major venues in Boston, primarily because it is located directly at North Station.
Parking
Driving into downtown Boston can be convenient depending on where you're coming from, but traffic and garages can fill fast on game nights. If you're driving, plan and arrive with extra buffer time so you're not rushing through entry. (Many fans prefer transit specifically to avoid post-game congestion around Causeway Street.)
Public transit (MBTA)
Public transit is one of the best ways to reach TD Garden. TD Garden's transportation guidance notes that the Green and Orange Lines both serve North Station, with entry to TD Garden available at either the East or West entrance.
If you're coming from other lines, TD Garden also provides step-by-step directions for transferring via Park Street (Red Line) or Government Center (Blue Line) to reach North Station.
Bonus convenience: TD Garden notes an underground passageway linking North Station commuter rail and subway access under Causeway Street—helpful for weather and crowd flow.
Rideshare & drop-off
For rideshare users, TD Garden's official transportation page states that beginning May 1, 2025, Boston's Transportation Department and rideshare services began geolocating pickup/drop-off to Merrimac Street from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily.
If you're planning a rideshare pickup after the game, expect demand (and pricing) to spike—walking a few minutes away from the busiest curb zones can often make pickups smoother.
A Celtics game day moves fast once crowds start stacking near the doors, so the simplest way to upgrade your experience is to arrive earlier than you think you need to.
Pro tip: If you're meeting friends, choose a clear meetup point outside TD Garden or inside near a recognizable section number. It reduces "where are you?" texting when the concourse gets busy.
TD Garden prioritizes safety and efficient entry and strongly discourages bringing bags. If you receive one, ensure you follow the venue's stated restrictions.
Bag policies
TD Garden's policy states that bags are strongly discouraged and outlines a bag-restriction process. The policies page notes that oversized bags (over 6 x 4 x 1.5 in) can be stored at an on-site Event Bag Check for a fee, with specific location and operating window details.
The venue also notes that guests with prohibited items will not be permitted entry and should allow extra time.
Prohibited items
TD Garden states that all items brought into the arena are subject to inspection and lists prohibited items, including laptops/tablets, non-cellphone cameras and video recording devices, drones, selfie sticks, certain umbrellas, and more.
It also includes restrictions on weapons and examples of prohibited weapons.
Re-entry policy
Re-entry can vary by event and protocol. Because TD Garden notes that entry requirements and venue protocols are subject to change, it's smart to review the most current event details before you go.
Service animals and animals in general
For service animal guidance and accessibility-related accommodations, TD Garden directs guests to contact customer service and provides official contact options on its policies page.
