Indiana Fever Ticket Prices Drop By Almost 50% Following The News Of Caitlin Clark’s Injury That Will Sideline Her For Two Weeks

The Caitlin Clark Effect.

To put things simply, Caitlin Clark is women’s basketball. She completely and single-handedly elevated the game, and brought more eyes to women’s sports than any other female athlete… ever. Clark now plays for the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, and she continues to be a star at the pro level, though many will always remember her as an Iowa Hawkeye.

That is until she’s able to further supplant herself as one of the WNBA’s all-time greats. And I think that will happen sooner rather than later. Her game seamlessly translated to the pro level, and she’s continued to enforce her talent and deep-range shooting in the WNBA. Fans love watching the talented guard do her thing, but you know who doesn’t seem to enjoy it so much?

Much of the rest of the WNBA.

Now I understand that not everyone is going to love the best person in the league. Back in the 1990s, everyone across the NBA was trying to dethrone Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. Being the best puts a target on your back, and understandably so. The only difference here is that interest in the WNBA was low before Clark joined the league, and now some of the Indiana Fever games have to be moved to different, larger venues to meet the demands of fans wanting to see Caitlin play.

Ryan Brewer, an associate professor of finance at Indiana University Columbus, found that of the $200 million in revenue that the WNBA brought in in 2024, Caitlin Clark was single handedly responsible for 26.5% of that revenue. In other words, Caitlin Clark’s success and story is helping cash the checks of others across the WNBA, and the other players could care less.

That “Caitlin Clark Effect” is now on display in another, more unfortunate way. The Fever star went down with an injury in a recent contest, and after being diagnosed with a left quadriceps strain, Clark has been ruled out for a minimum of two weeks:

A true bummer.

Interestingly, the ticket prices for Indiana Fever games during that two week span have dropped significantly since it was announced that Clark would be out. TickPick suggests that prices have dropped 42% as a result of Caitlin’s injury, and for the June 7 game that was going to pit Caitlin Clark against her rival – the Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese – those ticket prices have dropped over 70%.

Part of that has to do with that particular game being moved to the United Center (where the Chicago Bulls play) to better meet the demand for tickets. Like I said earlier, when Clark and the Fever come to town, everyone wants a chance to see her in action. Now that she’s sidelined, the value of those previously coveted tickets are plummeting.
