Caitlin Clark playoff tickets cost more than entire 2023 WNBA finals combined

The Fever clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2016

Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark is the hottest ticket in women’s basketball – literally. 

The Rookie of the Year favorite helped the Fever secure the team’s first playoff appearance since 2016, and Clark will make her playoff debut against the Connecticut Sun in Game 1 on Sunday afternoon.

But fans hoping to see the former Iowa star at Mohegan Sun Arena will have to pay a historically higher price than before. 

According to data collected by the ticket marketplace TickPick, the cheapest ticket price available to see a Round 1 game between the Fever and Sun this season is $133. That is more expensive than the total cost to attend every game of the 2023 WNBA Finals at $131.

Clark’s impact on the league and women’s basketball as a whole has been undeniable. The Fever’s average attendance of just under 17,000 leads the WNBA, and 10 of their games have set league TV viewership records — many in front of sellout crowds.
