Caitlin Clark’s impact continues to reshape the WNBA ticket market. According to TickPick, the platform has sold nearly TWICE as many tickets for tonight’s game against Clark and the Indiana Fever as they have for all their other upcoming home games this season—COMBINED. To meet the demand, the matchup was moved from the Dream’s usual Gateway Center Arena to the much larger State Farm Arena, home of the Atlanta Hawks. League-wide, Fever road games are in a different stratosphere. The average ticket price for their away games is $213 — almost triple the $71 average for WNBA games without the Fever. Wild.
