Ticket prices for the Game 6 of the WNBA Finals have collapsed, giving the fans an opportunity to watch a possible championship closeout game for a fraction of a WNBA regular-season game.
The get-in price for Game 6 is $32 in the resale market as of Wednesday morning, according to TicketData. For comparison, the get-in price for Game 3 last Wednesday night was $166 and $246 for Game 4 on Saturday afternoon.
The average gameday get-in price for the Dream was $110 at Gateway Center and $72 at State Farm during the 2026 regular-season. The cheapest get-in prices for a Dream home game this year on the secondary market was $33 for a Sept. 17 game against the Connecticut Sun.
The average ticket price for Dream home games this year was $218, according to SeatGeek. It was $139 for the average WNBA game.
Earlier this week, the WNBA announced it was rescheduling Game 6 from 8 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET on Thursday. The move allowed the Dream to play in the 17,000-seat State Farm Arena rather than the 3,500-seat Gateway Center where they played all their regular-season games.
A Hawks game on Thursday night forced the Dream to find a last-minute contingency if they wanted to avoid the smaller arena.
Games 3 and 4 were also rescheduled due to schedule conflicts with a Sombr concert and Hawks regular-season game, respectively. But Game 3 was moved back one day and stayed in primetime, while Game 4, which was already originally a weekend matinee, was moved back a few hours.
The Dream sold out Games 3 and 4, and a team spokesperson told Front Office Sports on Tuesday morning that they had already sold out of tickets for Game 6, leaving only tickets in the secondary market remaining.
The sellout shows that resellers aggressively bought tickets for the game, hoping fans would be attracted to a possible closeout game for the Dream, according to TicketData founder Keith Pagello. That changed when the Dream lost Game 5, giving the Valkyries a chance to win the title on the road.
“It seems like they were either banking on the Dream winning Game 5 and setting up a chance to celebrate a championship at home, or simply underestimated how much demand would be muted by a noon start on a weekday,” Pagello told FOS.
The average resale ticket price was about $105 on Monday night, even after the Dream lost Game 5, but began to collapse on Tuesday morning.
The question is now whether State Farm Arena will have large pockets of empty seats for the early afternoon game given the sign of low demand, or whether the cheaper tickets will sell.
“For the fans who can make a noon tipoff work, though, this has turned into a pretty remarkable opportunity to attend a WNBA Finals game at a fraction of what tickets were selling for just two days ago,” Pagello said. “It’s also a bit ironic that the Dream’s final home game of the postseason will also end up being their cheapest tickets of the entire season.”
