The arrival of Paige Bueckers in the WNBA is already having a measurable impact, as ticket prices and fan interest in the Dallas Wings are skyrocketing.

While the league continues to benefit from the momentum created by Caitlin Clark, Bueckers‘ debut is bringing its own surge in demand.

According to TMZ Sports, SeatGeek recorded a 905% increase in traffic for Wings games following Bueckers‘ selection as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft. “That surge comes alongside a 905% increase in traffic vs. the prior day, showing just how quickly fan excitement is converting to demand,” SeatGeek executive Chris Leyden confirmed.

Bueckers sparks rise in WNBA ticket demand

Another major platform, Vivid Seats, also reported a significant rise in demand, with average ticket prices jumping 38% compared to last season.

Notably, this trend began when Dallas was awarded the top pick, with a 920% increase in ticket activity. By comparison, Indiana’s spike during the “Caitlin Clark Effect” was estimated at 60%.

One of the hottest tickets this summer is shaping up to be the first matchup between Clark and Bueckers, which is currently averaging $449 per ticket on Vivid Seats.

Bueckers, a standout from UConn, brings an elite résumé to the pros. Over four full seasons under Geno Auriemma, she was named a three-time unanimous All-American and won the Nancy Lieberman Award twice.

She also captured the Big East Player of the Year title three times, while averaging 19.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists across 123 games.

While Clark may have set the recent benchmark for college-to-pro transition impact, Bueckers is clearly establishing her own presence-one ticket sale at a time.

For Anthony Edwards and the Wolves, Game 3 win was more than just a win

MINNEAPOLIS — Moments after plunging the dagger into the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Edwards bounded euphorically toward the sideline seats where his older brother, Bubba, and best friend, Nick Maddox, take in every Minnesota Timberwolves home game.It took him five skips to cross the hardwood and meet his crew and the sea of Wolves fans screaming at the top of their lungs. Each time he hopped into the air, he may as well have been jumping over one of the team’s many clutch-time failures, leaving them all behind in the din of Target Center. Each spring forward brought these fans a little closer to believing their team is capable of taking down LeBron James, Luka Dončić and the team that left them for Los Angeles 65 years ago. MOOOODDDD!!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/6jblDigQdy — Minnesota Timberwolves (@Timberwolves) April 26, 2025Edwards stood, arms outstretched, […]

Ex-Premier-League-Coach sicher – Bayern-Star das letzte Puzzlestück für Liverpool

Liverpool und Bayern-Star Harry Kane (31) – ein Traumduo! Das jedenfalls meint Martin Jol, ehemaliger Trainer von Tottenham Hotspur. Neben Super-Stürmer Mohamed Salah (32) könnte der Engländer „unglaublich“ sein, sagte Jol in einem Gespräch mit Journalisten in der neuen Sports Betting Lounge des Grosvenor Casino Luton.Jol betonte, wie wichtig es sei, Salah und Kapitän Virgil van Dijk langfristig an den Verein gebunden zu haben. „Liverpool ist ein Top-Klub und wird immer einen Weg finden, erfolgreich zu sein, egal wer das Sagen hat“, so der 69-Jährige. „Der Schlüssel für Arne Slot – und ich kenne ihn gut – ist, Weltklasse-Spieler wie van Dijk und Salah zu halten. Und genau das ist geschehen.“Jetzt habe Liverpool die Basis gesichert, um nächste Saison wieder um den Premier-League-Titel zu kämpfen, glaubt Jol. „Das Einzige, was Liverpool vielleicht fehlt, ist eine echte Nummer neun. Ich persönlich […]

Celtics-Magic has been a physical battle. Jaylen Brown thinks the fight’s just begun

ORLANDO — Kristaps Porziņģis had five stitches in his forehead. Jayson Tatum winced as he flexed his injured right wrist. Jaylen Brown, already dealing with a knee issue, revealed that he dislocated the index finger on his left hand after a first-half flagrant foul from Cole Anthony.The Celtics wore the evidence of a physical first-round series after a 95-93 Game 3 loss to the Magic on Friday night. Brown downplayed his newest injury, saying he will be all right because he has nine more fingers, but wondered what might come next.Advertisement“There might be a fight break out or something,” said Brown, “because it’s starting to feel like it’s not even basketball and the refs are not controlling their environment.
