Caitlin Clark effect? WNBA's Dallas Wings sell out season tickets for the first time ever

For the first time in the franchise's history, the WNBA's Dallas Wings have sold out of season tickets ahead of their preseason opener on May 3 versus the Indiana Fever.

The game will be college basketball sensation Catlin Clark’s debut after she was drafted by the Fever this season, and demand to see Clark in action has boosted ticket sales for the Dallas team.

For Clark’s preseason debut, individual ticket prices range from $210 to $350. Prices climbed higher than $1,000 in some places, according to UTATickets.

But the Wings have also seen an overall ticket sales revenue increase of 220%, including over a 1,200% increase in individual ticket sales revenue, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Dallas Wings also look forward to playing Chicago Sky, Angel Reese

The league has seen plenty of excitement as other notable players were drafted this season. Notably, Angel Reese was drafted by the Chicago Sky.

Later this month, Wings fans could have a chance to see Reese in action when the Wings play back-to-back season games against the Chicago Sky, on May 15 and May 18.
