WNBA fans were shocked after learning about the prices of tickets for the first Caitlin Clark versus Paige Bueckers matchup in the league. The Dallas Wings unsurprisingly picked the UConn legend with the No. 1 selection on Monday, and her impact has been felt around the league.

On Thursday, X/Twitter user WNBA Got Game shared the prices of tickets for the first matchup between the top selections in the past two drafts. Tickets for Section 1 at American Airlines Center for the Indiana Fever's visit on June 27 are listed at $1,205.00 on Ticketmaster.

This is much more than what fans paid in the 2024 WNBA Finals between the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx. Forbes reported that average secondary ticket prices for Game 4 were $154 on Vivid Seats, almost 50% higher than those for Game 4 of the 2023 finals.

This regular-season matchup's tickets are 10 times more expensive.

Fans had much to say about this, flooding social media with comments showing their surprise or expectations about this high-profile matchup.

"Glad I got my tickets for the game in Indiana before the draft at a decent price!" another fan said.
