Caitlin Clark’s first playoff game tickets cost fans more than all 2023 WNBA finals combined

MONTVILLE, CONNECTICUT: The Indiana Fever are gearing up for their first WNBA playoff appearance since 2016 as they take on the Connecticut Sun this Sunday, September 22.

With rookie star Caitlin Clark at the helm, the game promises to be electrifying, potentially transforming the Sun’s home court into a vibrant venue for Fever fans.

Caitlin Clark’s playoff tickets surpass total price of 2023 WNBA finals

A recent post on X, formerly Twitter, from TickPick revealed a striking comparison in ticket prices: “$131: Total cost to attend every game of the 2023 WNBA Finals. $133: Cheapest ticket available to see the Fever face the Sun in the First Round of the 2024 WNBA Playoffs.”

This statistic indicates that fans are willing to shell out more for a glimpse of Clark in her inaugural playoff game than for all four finals games between the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty last season.

This phenomenon highlights the "Caitlin Clark Effect," showcasing her rising popularity and the excitement she brings to the sport. As the Fever gain momentum, Clark’s impact on the team and its fanbase is expected to increase even more.

The upcoming playoff series against Connecticut presents a significant challenge for Clark and her Indiana team. However, considering that the Fever have been one of the WNBA's top teams in recent weeks and secured a victory over the Sun in their latest game—after initially losing their first three encounters—the series is expected to be closely contested.
