Ticket prices for Sunday’s Indiana Fever-Chicago Sky game featuring Fever G Caitlin Clark and Sky F Angel Reese are the “most expensive for a WNBA game ever,” according to Jordan Valinsky of CNN.com. Prices are averaging “around $253” according to TickPick -- “187% higher than the Sky’s average purchase price of $88.” Valinsky noted the cheapest seat is “around $250 with the most expensive ticket on sale going for more than $9,000.” Last Sunday’s Fever-Sky game was the most-watched WNBA game on any network in 23 years . A TickPick representative said that excitement for this weekend’s game is “so high that ticket prices are 116% more expensive than this past season’s tickets” for Bulls home games, which averaged $117 ( CNN.com, 6/20 ). WELCOME TO ATLANTA: In Atlanta, Rick Farlow wrote the WNBA is “taking over State Farm Arena” Friday night for the Atlanta Dream-Fever matchup -- the first time since 2019 that State Farm Arena has hosted a WNBA game. The Caitlin Clark story is a triumph over stereotypes -- the stereotype, as Hollywood once put it, that white men and women can’t jump” (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 6/18).
