WNBA Finals Ticket Prices Hit Record Levels for Dream and Valkyries Games
Average ticket costs for the WNBA Finals have surged, with Game 1 averaging $355 and a Game 3 ticket in Atlanta reaching a record $201 on secondary markets.
Ticket prices for the WNBA Finals have climbed to historic highs as the Atlanta Dream face the Golden State Valkyries for their first league title. Game 1 at San Francisco's Chase Center shows an average price of $355, while the "get-in" price for the same game is $214. In Atlanta, a Game 3 ticket hit $201 on TickPick, setting a new record, and premium courtside seats have been listed for $4,000 or more.
The surge follows concerns over the Dream's usual 3,500-seat arena, prompting the league to move the first two home games to the 17,000-capacity State Farm Arena. Key figures include Angel Reese, who hopes to lead the Dream, and Gabby Williams, aiming for the Valkyries' inaugural championship. The best-of-seven series could reach a seventh game in San Francisco on Oct. 31.
