Let us know! πŸ‘‡β£ ‒⁣ The WNBA is experiencing an unprecedented surge in popularity as the 2025 season kicks off. According to StubHub's 2025 WNBA Season Preview, ticket sales have skyrocketed by 145% compared to last year, marking the highest preseason demand in league history . πŸ‘€β£ ⁣ Leading this boom is the Indiana Fever, whose ticket sales have increased nearly sixfold (497%) following the addition of standout rookie Caitlin Clark. The Fever's away games account for nine of StubHub’s top ten best-selling matchups this season, with their July 15 visit to the Connecticut Sun being the most in-demand game. 🎟️πŸ”₯⁣ ‒⁣ Other teams are also seeing significant growth. The Dallas Wings, boosted by rookie Paige Bueckers and star Arike Ogunbowale, have seen ticket sales jump 4.5 times over last season. πŸ€―πŸ“ˆβ£ ‒⁣ This surge reflects a broader shift in women's sports, with first-time WNBA ticket buyers increasing by 28% and fans from 29 different countries purchasing tickets, more than double last year's international reach. 🌏🌍🌎⁣ ‒⁣ The momentum behind women's sports has never been stronger, and this year's WNBA season exemplifies that growth.
