In This Economy? 👀
Showing just how quickly fan excitement is converting to demand. – Chris Leyden
So while the rest of y’all were trying to figure out how to make money off Paige Bueckers going No. 1 in the WNBA Draft, nobody stopped to consider the real financial crisis here: Wings ticket prices.
It turns out that drafting a generational talent will do that for a market. Dallas fans are literally foaming at the mouth over this girl (and ya I get it). Paige just won a national championship, and she’s got one of those franchise faces (aka stunning). Now, apparently, she’s got SeatGeek working overtime before the upcoming WNBA season.

Let’s Talk Numbers
Dallas Wings ticket sales are up 11x since Paige was drafted. Not 11%. Eleven times. Which means site traffic is up 905% from the day before the draft. Chris Leyden (SeatGeek’s Director of Category Marketing) basically confirmed the WNBA news: “That surge comes alongside a 905% increase in traffic vs. the prior day, showing just how quickly fan excitement is converting to demand.”
gotta see this duo in person.

Vivid Seats is seeing the same excitement online. Average ticket prices for Wings WNBA games are up 38% from last season.
And if you’re trying to see Paige take on Caitlin Clark? Good luck, bro. The average price for the first Fever vs. Wings matchup is sitting at $449. For one ticket. For one game. No snacks included. If you’re thinking about courtside tickets, try $4,128 each before fees. After some Ticketmaster “f*ck you” charges, delivery fees, and sales tax, it ends up being more than $5,200. A Paige Bueckers jersey is seeming a lot more enticing now.
Talk of the league. Talk of the city.

Stream It Is
Listen. I want to see Paige play as much as the next person, but I also enjoy having electricity in my apartment. So no, I will not be at the game. But I will be streaming it like my life depends on it. This season is shaping up to be really interesting! After the Paige Bueckers WNBA Draft moment and WNBA rumors popping up left and right, I couldn’t be more ready.
Just don’t ask me to buy a ticket.
