Methodology
To analyze WNBA ticket prices from six major sellers including Viagogo, Tickets Center, Stub Hub, Vivid Seats, MegaSeats, and Ticketmaster for July, August, and September, we first collected ticket price data for five games s from all sellers, calculated the average ticket price per month for each seller, then identified the lowest and highest prices within each month for 4,330 WNBA tickets.
In addition, we found the chance of scoring a ticket at a specific retailer by dividing the number of tickets available from that retailer by the total number of tickets available (4,229) from the five matches looked into from all retailers, then multiplied the result by 100 to convert it into a percentage.
Disclaimer: The lower ticket numbers for Viagogo and Ticket Center are due to website specifics and script limitations that prevented retrieving all available tickets.
