The Girls Are Not Happy About WNBA Ticket Prices
As the hype for Paige Bueckers vs. Caitlin Clark continues.
As the WNBA season begins, women’s basketball fans are noticing a change this season.
From ranking tunnel fits to draft day watch parties, women’s basketball has gone from the underdog to the hype. According to Sports Illustrated, this interest has already translated into an “astronomical” price surge.
Tickets to see the June 27 competition between Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers and Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark are already reflecting the price surge. The demand is so high that the team has had to “relocate the venue to the American Airlines Center in Dallas, where the Mavericks play. The price to get in the door starts at $255 USD.” If you’re considering courtside seats this season, know it can cost you over $1,000 USD.
WNBA tickets were notoriously cheaper in previous seasons as mainstream sports culture focused more on men’s sports. Now, WNBA and NBA prices are in the same ballpark.
Caitlin Clark’s return to Iowa for the Indiana Fever’s preseason game against Brazil has set a new WNBA record.
