Caitlin Clark Effect: Cheapest Ticket For WNBA All-Star Game Is $185
The 2026 WNBA All-Star Game is likely experiencing the Caitlin Clark effect as the Indiana Fever star point guard is expected to take the floor on Saturday night in Chicago as the captain of Team Weatherspoon.
Over the past seven days, the average sale price on the secondary ticketing platform SeatGeek is $425. That’s about 35% higher than at the same point ahead of last year’s game, according to data provided to me by the company.
Clark, who is the 11th highest-paid female athlete per Forbes, missed the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game due to a groin injury.
The Des Moines, Iowa native is currently averaging 21 points and nearly eight assists per game during the current regular season. The Fever are first in the Eastern Conference with a 17-10 record.
The total order volume on SeatGeek for the WNBA All-Star Game has already surpassed that of the entire 2025 game by about 21% — there’s still about 24 hours left until tip off, too. The “get-in” price, or cheapest ticket available, for the 2026 edition is $185, per SeatGeek.
"When one sub-$200 ticket lets you see Caitlin Clark, A’ja Wilson, and Paige Bueckers on the same floor, it becomes one of the best values in sport,” says Max Meyer, Senior Content Analyst, SeatGeek.
“No other All-Star stage delivers this much star power at a price this many fans can actually reach, and the surge of buyers from coast to coast shows fans know it.”
Ticket buyers who have an Illinois billing address represent 22% of WNBA All-Star Game orders in the past week, good for the number one overall state. The game is being held at the United Center, home of the NBA’s Chicago Bulls. Texas, Maryland, and Indiana round out the top four states on SeatGeek.
Ahead of the WNBA All-Star Game, Team Weatherspoon is a 3.5-point favorite at -170 odds on the moneyline against Team Cooper, according to the latest betting odds at the DraftKings Sportsbook. Clark, who is part of the WNBA’s largest 13 audiences over the past 25 years, is the betting favorite (+170) to be the game’s leading scorer, followed by Wilson (+425) and Bueckers (+450), respectively.
