Las Vegas Aces Sold Out All Games But This One

Author Shawn Tempesta
Michelob ULTRA Arena At Mandalay Bay is beginning to look too small. The Las Vegas Aces sold out nearly every game this season.

The back to back WNBA Champion Las Vegas Aces have captured the collective hearts and minds of the valley for a bit now. But the league’s popularity is now at an all-time high. So much so that the Las Vegas Aces sold out all but one of their 20 home games this season.

The team, which already sold out of season tickets for the season, has only one game left to score first-party tickets for. The matchup between the Aces and the Chicago Sky featuring star rookie Angel Reese on September 3rd at the big house: T-Mobile Arena. And there aren’t many tickets remaining for this date either. Pricey options in the upper middle of the court, and cheap seats as low as $15 in the nosebleeds.

The Las Vegas Aces sold out the tickets not only being the two-time champs, but also by being a part of a league that is on fire right now. A report from StubHub says that WNBA tickets are sales are up 93% year to year! That is ridiculous growth!

Las Vegas Aces Sold Out Nearly Every Game This Season, And It’s Been Growing Yearly

Obviously winning has a lot to do with it. Back in 2021, the Las Vegas Aces averaged 3127 tickets sold per regular season game according to AcrossTheTimeline.com. The 2022 season saw a nice bump up, reaching 5606 tickets per game sold. That would result in their first WNBA Championship.

2023, you had a bonafide hometown championship team, and their fandom was red hot. The team went from the middle of the pack to the top, selling a league topping 9551 tickets per regular season game and, once again, winning the title.

While 2024 has resulted in the team dropping to fourth in ticket sales so far, it is more due to a lack of space in the Michelob ULTRA Arena inside Mandalay Bay and the exploding popularity of the league. As a matter of fact, this year the Las Vegas Aces sold out of season tickets – the first time a WNBA team has ever done that.

They’ve propped up the popularity by moving a couple games to T-Mobile Arena to welcome stars like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. Now is your last chance to score tickets to see the latter come to Las Vegas and take an L.

Scenes From The Las Vegas Aces Parade (PICTURES)

You’ll never forget your first.

The Las Vegas Aces won game 4 in the WNBA Finals on Sunday night in Connecticut, taking with them the WNBA Championship and Las Vegas‘ very first major league sports title. With the honor, comes the party! A short parade followed by a massive party in front of the Bellagio fountains.

Fans were rushing from (or playing hooky from) work to make it in time for the event, flocking to the area mostly from the Caesars Palace parking lot. In front of Caesars, a staging area for the parade with Raiderettes, classic cars, members of the Boys & Girls Club and Broadway In The Hood gearing up to take the route. Then, a horn was blasting out of nowhere. Travelling north on Las Vegas Boulevard, a chartered bus with the Las Vegas Aces was barreling down the street! The parade was coming soon!

Aces staff went up and down the parade route handing out signs, pom-poms, rally towels and more.

At 5:30 sharp, the parade began. Down the street came community members holding “CHAMPS” in balloon lettering. Motorcycle cops and the Nevada State Police‘s “Aces” cruisers, local community organizations and more.

Then, the “Big Bus” double-decker buses rolled through. A’ja Wilson, like Rose in Titanic planted at the front of the first bus with the WNBA Championship in her hand and a grin you couldn’t wipe off if you tried. Aces owner Mark Davis standing close by, almost undetectable wearing a hat. Finals MVP Chelsea Gray holding her MVP trophy precariously off the side of the bus.

They headed towards the stage in front of the Bellagio with thousands in attendance awaiting them. So many that they actually closed the other side of Las Vegas Boulevard – something officials weren’t expecting to do.

The famed Las Vegas Strip, playground to tourists from around the world, was for one rare moment taken over by locals. Local organizations, local fans, our local team. It was a special day! Congrats Aces! Here’s to next year!
