WNBA All-Star Game Sells Out As Caitlin Clark Helps Double Attendance Over Last Year [View all]

Remember that when Clark faced the Las Vegas Aces in a regular season game early this month, the team moved the game to T-Mobile Arena and sold out all 20,000+ seats.

Last year's game represented the usual procedure for the WNBA All-Star events. The 2022 version was held in Chicago at Wintrust Arena, which
holds 10,000 people. That game did not sell out, either.

This year, though, the league is holding the game at Footprint Center in Phoenix, which is the home of the NBA's Suns and holds over 17,000 people.

As expected, every ticket has already been sold. Not only that, but the only tickets left for Friday night – which is when the WNBA holds its skills competition and three-point shootout – are standing-room only.
