Unlike the NBA, its women’s counterpart does a good job in offering affordable ticket prices for all. The popularity of the game and its stars play a huge role in the drop in ticket prices.

The average ticket price for a WNBA game was $47 a few years ago. However, there has been a major surge in popularity which has increased this amount.

The Washington Mystics and the Las Vegas Aces had comparatively higher prices compared to other teams. When it comes to courtside tickets, the WNBA is far off from the NBA. Chicago Sky, one of the most popular teams in the league, offers courtside tickets ranging from $3,300 to $6,000.
