Last weekend, I wrote about the likelihood of Washington Mystics season ticket prices going up significantly. At the time, I didn’t receive my invoice yet, but I received some text messages and saw some social media posts that prices were going up between 25 and 50 percent for the year.
Eventually, I received my invoice. The ticket prices went up from $2,090 for two seats in the 100 level close to the team benches to $2.970 for the 2025 season. From a gross monetary perspective, the total amount increased by a whopping 42.1 percent. If I give this one figure, then I’m sure that we can all agree that this is an unjustified price increase for a team that is 6-21 and tied for worst in the WNBA with the Los Angeles Sparks this season.
