Clark injury effect. Guess what, folks, The ticket prices have
drastically fallen with the Indiana Fever star out.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Interesting, isn't it? Shocker? It's not. I mean it shouldn't be.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
I mean, obviously in the NBA, when we have injuries
like that, ticket prices do go down, do they.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Let's be real here, Okay, So.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Here's a fun little fact ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I'm gonna help you out here. Okay.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
I have this app called the game Time Map. Have
you ever heard of this app?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Mike? I think so.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
So the game Time app was introduced to me by
my friend Mammy, and he said, dude, this is where
you need to buy your tickets, all right, cool, Ticketmaster
all that stuff, you know, the service fees and all
this stuff, and you have all that, but here's the
thing you can do, game time apps.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Right.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
So I went to a game in New Orleans a
couple of years back. I sat fifth row. How much
do you think I spent.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
In New Orleans? In New Orleans?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Are Thanksgiving nights talking basketball or football? Saints bills? Thanksgiving night?
How long ago was this fifth row?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Two years ago? Two years ago? Fifty bucks? Come on, man,
what are you living in nineteen seventy five? Your Saints
are terrible? It doesn't matter time.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Thanksgiving game thirty five? Oh, come on, man, you're killing me.
Seventy No, I spent one hundred dollars apiece fifth row.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
That's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
No, not at all, because the guy next to me,
you know how much he spent a thousand? Okay, I
went to LA I went to a Dodgers game. I
sat front row right, and this is the Dodgers. Dodgers
are good, Mike front row, left field. How much did
I spend? H Probably at least like three hundred bucks
twenty five dollars for two seats, by the way, and
(02:22):
I got all the snacks I wanted for free. So
I got a Dodger Dog for free. Game time app
is the way to go.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Ticket prices do affect that, yes, right, this app will
actually show you like if a team's struggling, if they
have an injury, the tickets go cheap, which I get.
You know, I don't understand. They'll be honest with you.
I don't know why this is the headline. Yeah, Caitlin
if she's not playing obviously right now, it brings in
the motion the Angel Reaes factor. I really started thinking
(02:51):
about this. Did you see this today? She's like the
fastest to get to five hundred points five hundred rebounds
in the WNBA.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Well, I mean that's what happens when you miss deliberately.
Mislay up.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I'm just saying she's patting her stats, folks. But we
all came to watch her like honestly, like honestly, like
if she was in like come on, man, Like we
talked about this yesterday and it was just kind of
annoying at some point. But now it's like, Okay, yes,
there's going to be an effect if Caitlin Clark doesn't
(03:23):
travel with the team or if she's out for an injury, well,
you're gonna try to sell these tickets.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Now you can imagine the resale.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
As well, right because people are expecting to go watch
her because again, she's kind of the face of the
WNBA right now. Now, did you also notice what the
Indiana Fever tweeted out? Did you see it? I want
you to find it, because here's the thing. They have
made a shot to the WNBA about her injury. Okay,
(03:54):
in Indiana Fever have now spoken up saying the fouls
have got to be called, right because she's getting ruffed up.
I don't know if they took it down or not.
I should have screen grabbed it, but I was like, wow,
can you imagine like another team like suggesting that type people.
You know you're saying that, you know they're trying to
(04:17):
defend her, and I totally agree. I think that she
does get fouled. I think that it does get chippy.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Right.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
This is the most shippiest I've ever seen the WNBA
for a while. Are you trying to find it?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I am trying to find it.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I saw it last night, and I was like, wait,
are you kidding me? Like it's the team's page and
they're talking about how it needs to be. You know,
she suffered this left quad screen following a ninety eighty
eight loss to the defending champion of New York Liberty,
and she's going to miss two weeks, which means that
she'll miss the least the next four games. And it's
(04:55):
had a dramatic effect on ticket prices for those contests
because the particular it's two road games during this stretch,
By the way, is that the Washington Mystics on May
twenty eighth, And guess what the second game is on
the road.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
It's the I believe winless Chicago Sky. There you goe.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
So are they coming to see Angel Reese? Are they
coming to see Kayln Clark? Maybe Kaylen Clark should travel
to Chicago and be on the bench.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, I think she's still traveling.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Well that's fine, But honestly, if that's going to affect
the ticket prices in Chicago, how do you think Angel
Reese feels?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:33):
What makes it worse is I believe these two games
were also moved to bigger arenas to handle the extra capacity.
And that makes it even worse, which it's unfortunate because
you want the WNBA to succeed, you know, we want
these with these these women to be able to succeed
(05:55):
and benefit from from the popularity of the wa NBA
because of Caitlin Clark and some of these other young athletes.
And now you're getting to see some of the how
great some of these these young women are talented. Yeah,
like Asia Wilson. Like, granted, I knew who Asia Wilson was. Yeah,
before I knew who Sabrina iyn Esque was. I didn't
(06:17):
really know who Brianna Stewart was. But you know, the
Yukon Invitational at the time, I knew who you know,
Diana Trossi was.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
I knew who was here.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, here's the thing of what you just mentioned that
they were moved right to different arenas because the Washington
game was moved from their care First Arena to the
CFG Bank Arena in Baltimore, which has more than six
thousand extra capacity. Prior to the injury news, the cheapest
ticket sold for that game was forty one dollars per
(06:47):
tick pick. Now the get in price is fourteen dollars. Yeah, right,
And so for the sky here's even big. This is
the big one. The Skybird's Fever game was even more affected,
as it was supposed to be another edition of Clars
for Angel Reaves right the Bird Verus Johnson. The contest
was moved to the United Center, the first time WNBA
(07:08):
games would have played at a twenty thousand plus seat arena.
Now on Sunday, the cheapest ticket was eighty six dollars
according to tickpick. As of Tuesday night, twenty five dollars.
The average price was two hundred and ten dollars, one
hundred and twenty one percent more expensive than Tuesday's average
(07:30):
of ninety five dollars.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
That's what, sir, we'd like to call the Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Effect, the cause and effect. Yeah, you know, so hopefully
she can get back. And that's the other thing too,
is you don't want to you don't want it to
rush back from an injury on this. But I think,
you know, obviously she's getting fouled. There's a lot of
fouls against her. She's and when she's fouled, she's fouled. Okay,
So that's very interesting to me how much drastically that
(07:56):
actually dropped for people because now you got a wonder too,
because you move it to the United State, and that's
a lot of staff that you got to bring in, right, Yeah,
and now you think they're gonna sell that out, No,
not at all. Anyways, coming up next, uh, I guess
we'll finish off this five o'clock hour with a little
courtesy on the roads. It's all next on the Andy
(08:17):
Everage Show on ticket seven point sixty
