OMG, Angel Reese demand drives the Chicago market. :-))
It is hard to argue that Caitlin Clark is not the face of the WNBA, given the significance of her absence to the league. Facing a two-week hiatus due to a quad injury, the Indiana Fever's star guard being out has sent the WNBA ticket market into a complete and utter free fall. Before the season began, teams were relocating their games to bigger arenas in town to accommodate the fan ticket demand for the games when Caitlin Clark came to town. Ticket prices soared, and it was a must-see event. The Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky are set to play on June 7 in a game that was moved to the United Center, the home of the NBA's Chicago Bulls, with more capacity, and has since seen prices go into a free fall, dropping more than 70%. Tickets just to get into the arena were sitting at $86 and have dipped to $25. Ticket prices for the rest of the Fever's games during Clark's absence have also fallen. Based on the data via TickPick, all of their games during the next two weeks have seen a 42% drop in ticket prices. The rapid plunge in ticket prices shows the fan interest and desire to view Catilin Clark and the Indiana Fever in person. Ticket prices taking this sort of dive only exacerbate her spot as the face of the WNBA early into just her second year in the league. Caitlin Clark's earliest return to action would come after June 9, as that is when she is set to be evaluated once again and determine if she can return to the court or continue recovery. https://sports.yahoo.com/article/indiana-fever-vs-chicago-sky-151511690.html BANG (or whatever those guys say).
