I´ve been to NYC during septemeber two years ago, in the exactly same period as this, and the flights from Norway were much cheaper than the price you got. And cheap hotels around St. Marks Place, walking distance from MSG.
I´ll wait to book my flight till the end of august. Prices are very good when the summer holidays are over and the kids are back in school.
