Are you going to a game this year, GISTers? Let us know! 👇 • The WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) is experiencing an unprecedented surge in popularity as the 2025 season kicks off. According to StubHub's 2025 WNBA Season Preview, ticket sales have skyrocketed by 145% compared to last year, marking the highest preseason demand in league history . 👀 • Leading this boom is the Indiana Fever, whose ticket sales have increased nearly sixfold (497%) following the addition of standout rookie Caitlin Clark. The Fever's away games account for nine of StubHub’s top ten best-selling matchups this season, with their July 15 visit to the Connecticut Sun being the most in-demand game. 🎟️🔥 • Other teams are also seeing significant growth. The Dallas Wings, boosted by rookie Paige Bueckers and star Arike Ogunbowale, have seen ticket sales jump 4.5 times over last season. 🤯📈 • This surge reflects a broader shift in women's sports, with first-time WNBA ticket buyers increasing by 28% and fans from 29 different countries purchasing tickets, more than double last year's international reach. 🌏🌍🌎 • The momentum behind women's sports has never been stronger, and this year's WNBA season exemplifies that growth. WE LOVE TO SEE IT! 🙌 #thegist
