Angel Reese’s WNBA Finals appearance leads to record-setting Game 3 get-in ticket prices

The Atlanta Dream's return to the WNBA Finals has triggered a dramatic spike in ticket costs for their upcoming home matchup. According to data from TickPick, the minimum entry fee for Game 3 at State Farm Arena has climbed to approximately $201, marking a nine-fold increase over the $23 baseline seen during last year's championship series between the Las Vegas Aces and Phoenix Mercury.

This surge is widely attributed to the immense fan following of Angel Reese, whose transfer from the Chicago Sky has significantly boosted the franchise's profile. Reese, the current Defensive Player of the Year, has been instrumental in the Dream's playoff run, guiding them past the Washington Mystics and New York Liberty to secure their first Finals berth in 13 seasons.

Her postseason performance features averages of 18.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.6 steals, and 2.2 blocks, alongside improved shooting efficiency of 43.3% from the field and 38.5% from three-point range. The series kicks off on October 17, with the Golden State Valkyries hosting the first two contests before the action shifts to Atlanta.
