WNBA All-Star Tickets Hit Record Price Despite Caitlin Clark’s Injury

Caitlin Clark sustained a groin injury in the fourth quarter of the Indiana Fever’s game Tuesday against the Connecticut Sun.

The Indianapolis Star

The 2025 WNBA All-Star Game has hit record-high ticket prices despite the uncertain status of Caitlin Clark, the league’s biggest draw—and the host city’s best player.

According to TickPick, the average purchase price for Saturday’s WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis is $262, which is the highest in the ticketing platform’s records. The game’s get-in price is $121.

The average price is up 84.5% from last year’s All-Star Game in Phoenix ($142) and up 350% from 2023 in Las Vegas ($75). The previous high was $150 in 2022 when the game was held at Wintrust Arena in Chicago.

The prices have not seen significant changes since Clark sustained a groin injury during the fourth quarter of the Indiana Fever’s road win over the Connecticut Sun at TD Garden in Boston. On Tuesday afternoon, the average purchase price was $260, and the get-in price was $135.

It’s not clear whether Clark, who has already missed 10 of the Fever’s 22 games this year, will be available for the exhibition. She was the All-Star Game’s leading vote-getter for the second year in a row and is the captain of Team Clark. The Fever will visit the New York Liberty in Barclays Center on Wednesday evening, and Clark is listed as questionable as of Wednesday afternoon.

If Clark is unable to participate in the All-Star festivities, the league may need to find a replacement on short notice. On Tuesday, the WNBA announced Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride as an All-Star replacement for Atlanta Dream wing Rhyne Howard, who is out with a knee injury.

Clark was also set to headline the 2025 WNBA Starry 3-Point Contest, the first three-point shootout of her professional career. The announcement of her participation was made just hours before Tuesday’s game against the Sun.
