Wild that I could move to the US and get a season of WNBA basketball for less in four cities than London Lions wanted for a year of blowouts and occasional European games. I'd be fascinated to know how many people actually shelled out the 190 quid here. You can get single-game tickets for all their upcoming games - including a couple of double-headers with the men's team - for £5. They definitely aren't playing 38 home games this year...
ETA: $630 for the absolute cheapest ticket in Seattle is nuts too. |

Was talking to my Storm rep the other day and they had something like an 87% renewal rate right now. I was trying to upgrade my seats and the pickings were slim to none. So the high prices aren't hurting them.
And the $672 per year comes out to $32 per game, which really is not much.

I agree that it's not that much in a vacuum to pay for a ticket to a sporting event. But factoring in what ought to be a discount for paying for a full 20+ games in advance in one go, and that it's the absolute cheapest ticket in the building, it feels like quite a lot to me for the WNBA. And awhom111's table of prices around the league seems to agree. |

Yeah, the whole group stage felt like they'd learned from last year, when the target was clearly making it through to the knock-out stages, sacrificing seeding to make sure that was achieved. This year they kept pushing (although strength of the group is obviously a big part of it too).
More staggered by Caledonia somehow finishing 10th overall. With what, based on the roster, must be a fraction of the budget London are spending. |

We're all rooting for a Caledonia v. Lions matchup now!
