Cha-ching!
If you plan on attending Caitlin Clark’s regular season WNBA debut, be prepared to spend a pretty penny in the process.
This Tuesday, Clark and her Indiana Fever will take on the Connecticut Sun at Mohegan Sun Arena to begin their 2024 campaign, but judging by the ticket prices for the game, the “Caitlin Clark Effect” is still going strong. It is in very good health. (Related: Ethan Strauss comes up with genius idea to elevate WNBA: Shares team name with association)
according to seat geekThe cheapest ticket (including fees) to see Clark’s debut game is a whopping $130. As I said earlier, this is just the lowest price. As you approach the courtroom, some tickets are worth thousands of dollars, which is insane. The average price for all tickets is $300.
To put into perspective how big of a deal this is, the average price for a ticket to the Connecticut Sun is just . $45!
The Caitlin Clark effect… it’s amazing!
The “Caitlin Clark effect” is real 📊
🎟️ And even the Connecticut Sun reports that 2024 season ticket sales have doubled.

Let’s be honest…Caitlin Clark or not, there’s no way anyone would spend that much money on WNBA tickets in the current economic climate. Not only am I having all my stuff taken away by the IRS, and not only am I having the same bills and living expenses as everyone else, but I’m here to build my own women’s sports empire. (well, at least my daughters). That in itself is expensive.
Imagine yourself falling for Clark’s hype and spending hundreds of dollars on WNBA tickets. i’m good.
