The Las Vegas Aces, the two-time defending champions of the WNBA, have made history by becoming the first team in the league to sell out all of its allotted season tickets. The club announced this milestone on Thursday, showcasing the immense support and enthusiasm from their fan base.
Last season, the Aces led the WNBA in attendance, averaging 9,551 fans per game and recording nine sellouts. Their home games were primarily held at the Michelob Ultra Arena, with two games taking place at the larger T-Mobile Arena, where they attracted over 12,000 fans for each game.
With approximately 8,600 season tickets already sold out, the Aces are gearing up for the upcoming season opener against the Phoenix Mercury on May 14. The team's success on the court has undoubtedly contributed to the high demand for tickets, as they aim to secure their third consecutive championship title.
Looking back at WNBA history, the Houston Comets remain the only team to have achieved four consecutive titles from 1997 to 2000. The Aces are now on a mission to join this elite group of champions and solidify their dominance in the league.
Following their victory over the New York Liberty in last season's WNBA Finals, the Aces are considered strong contenders to clinch another championship. According to the FanDuel Sportsbook, Las Vegas is the clear favorite with odds of plus-100, while the New York Liberty trails behind at plus-230.
For fans eager to catch the Aces in action, single-game tickets for most matches will be available for purchase in late April. Additionally, tickets for the highly anticipated game against the Chicago Sky at T-Mobile Arena on September 3 will be released later this month.
As the Las Vegas Aces embark on their quest for a third consecutive WNBA title, the overwhelming support from their loyal fan base sets the stage for an exciting and competitive season ahead.
