The Celtics will be headed to Dallas for Games 3 and 4 of the Finals, but excitement and a roaring crowd will remain behind at the TD Garden.

For the first time in Garden history, fans will be welcomed to the arena for watch parties featuring the same in-game entertainment festivities as live Celtics home games – concession stands, Lucky the Leprechaun and more.

Fans looking to get in on the action will be able to purchase tickets when they go on sale Thursday at 10 a.m., on Ticketmaster. Roughly 1,800 tickets will be distributed to local charities, TD Garden President Glen Thornborough said.

Tickets will cost at $18 and parking at North Station Garage will also cost $18, “to celebrate the Celtics on the road to their 18th championship,” arena officials said.
