Caitlin Clark's absence is having an immediate impact beyond the court. According to data shared by Yahoo Sports via TickPick, prices for two specific Indiana Fever away games—against the Chicago Sky and Washington Mystics—dropped sharply after Clark was sidelined.
Before the injury, the lowest available ticket for the Fever’s matchup in Chicago was $86. For the game in Washington, fans needed at least $41 to get in. After the news of Clark’s absence, those "get in" prices fell to $25 and $14, respectively.
The figures reflect a steep decline in fan demand, underscoring just how much Clark, 23, drives interest, even on the road. Her presence has consistently boosted attendance and viewership across the league both this season and last. While the WNBA continues to see a rise in overall popularity, this highlights the tangible effect that one star player can have on ticket sales.
The prices shown are based on the secondary market and apply specifically to away games—meaning Clark’s drawing power isn’t just limited to home crowds in Indiana. Her ability to generate buzz in other teams’ arenas has been a key storyline of the season so far.
No one is reporting an exact timeline yet for her return, so teams hosting the Fever may continue to see less demand at the gate for some weeks to come.
