About Madison Square Garden Entertain
About Madison Square Garden Entertain
MSG Entertainment hosted approximately 6.4 million guests at nearly 960 events across five venues in New York City and Chicago in Fiscal Year 2026, and the 2025 Christmas Spectacular alone represented 18% of revenues while drawing over 1.2 million visitors, its highest attendance in 25 years. The venues, with seating from 2,800 to 21,000, are The Garden, the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theatre and The Chicago Theatre, and the company reports one segment.
The company primarily licenses its venues to third-party promoters for a fee, though it also promotes or co-promotes some shows and then carries the economic risk of the event. Premium hospitality adds recurring income: The Garden offers 22 Event Level suites plus a club, 58 Lexus Level suites and 18 Infosys Level suites, mostly licensed to corporate customers under multi-year agreements with annual escalators. Arena License Agreements with MSG Sports, running 35 years through 2055, bring the Knicks and Rangers to The Garden for an annual license fee, and sponsorship sales representation agreements pair the venues with MSG Sports' team brands. The company owns the Madison Square Garden Complex, leases Radio City Music Hall through 2038 and the Beacon Theatre through 2036, and extended its Big East Tournament partnership through 2032. It acquired the Christmas Spectacular rights in 1997, separate from the Radio City lease.

Real estate and location exposure shape the downside. The Garden complex benefits from a New York City real estate tax exemption worth $45 million in Fiscal Year 2026, and in January 2025 four state senators introduced legislation to end it; the Arena License Agreements would trim license fees if the exemption were repealed. The Garden sits above Penn Station, and on June 8, 2026 the company signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with the Master Developer contemplating a transfer of the Infosys Theater, a redevelopment that may disrupt operations. The Garden's zoning special permit was renewed in September 2023 for five years, and officials have used renewals to press for concessions. Four of the five venues sit in New York City, which exposes the company to local events and economic conditions.
