Caitlin Clark continues to spike interest in the WNBA. The cheapest tickets to see her play in her first playoff game cost more than the cheapest tickets to see the entire 2023 WNBA Finals.
The Indiana Fever rookie point guard will make her playoff debut on the road Sunday against the Connecticut Sun. The cheapest ticket is $133, TickPick posted on X on Friday.
By comparison, the ticket marketplace pointed out that the cheapest tickets to see all four games of the WNBA Finals between the New York Liberty and the eventual back-to-back champion Las Vegas Aces would have set someone back a total of only $131.
Clark’s Fever is taking on a tough team with the Sun holding the playoff appearance record in the WNBA at eight straight seasons.
Clark’s superstardom, however, shines even brighter. The Fever’s season finale Thursday against the Washington Mystics drew a record 20,711 at Capital One Arena in the District.
The record was made possible by a change in venue. Whereas Capital One Arena is the home of the NHL’s Capitals and the NBA’s Washington, the Mystics usually play at the Entertainment & Sports Arena.
Clark’s minutes were limited because the Fever had already cemented their place as the playoffs’ sixth seed. Indiana fell to the Mystics, 92-91, and finished the regular season at 20-20.
