$201 for a WNBA Finals Ticket? Angel Reese Has the League Scrambling for More Seats

That’s right, the get-in price for Game 3 of the WNBA Finals in Atlanta has already hit a historic $201. This isn’t just a high price, folks, it’s the most expensive WNBA Finals game on record, according to TickPick, and it tells you everything about the absolute hype surrounding the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries this season.

Gateway’s Too Small For This Vibe

So, why are tickets going for more than a couple of Mariners flex packs? The demand for the Dream, especially with Angel Reese on the court, is absolutely wild. The WNBA announced the Dream are ditching their usual home, Gateway Center Arena, for State Farm Arena. Think about it: Gateway holds only 3,500 fans. State Farm Arena? That joint can pack in over 17,000! You don’t make a move like that unless you know the city is buzzing for its team, and fans are ready to show up in droves. This series, especially with the Dream hosting Games 3 and 4, is going to be electric.

Reese Is Balling, But Don’t Sleep on the Valkyries

Angel Reese has been an absolute force for the Dream, a two-way nightmare for opponents. She’s not just putting up numbers, she’s putting up career-high numbers, averaging 16.4 points per game to go with a monster 12.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.8 steals. Oh, and did we mention she just snagged Defensive Player of the Year honors on October 1st? The Dream have been crushing it all season, posting a 30-14 regular season record and sweeping their first two rounds of the playoffs. They’re hungry, and they’re chasing that first championship in franchise history.

But let’s not get it twisted, the Valkyries are no joke. They had an even better regular season at 32-12 and have a dominant 5-1 playoff record themselves. What’s even crazier? Golden State only joined the WNBA as an expansion team in 2025. Yeah, an expansion team is already playing for the chip. That’s serious business.

This is going to be a battle, folks. The Valkyries are hosting the first two games, then it’s back to Atlanta for Games 3 and 4. Game 1 kicks off this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET. Don’t miss it, because something historic is brewing.
