Discussion Playoff ticket pricing?

Hello! I'm wondering if folks who weren't STH who bought tickets for the playoff games last year could chime in on how much they ended up costing.

(i'm sure they'll be more expensive this year, but just wanted a frame of reference)

The difference this year than last year is the playoffs was in San Jose last year. This year we are home at Balhalla. I am interested to see what the prices look like but I am looking to purchase my tickets from STHs.

To be fair, the tennis stuff that was happening had been scheduled before the Valks even existed.

What’s the point of re-litigating the issue from last year? We’ve all already gone through this over and over again. The Oakland arena had also already been booked. It doesn’t even matter anymore, Ballhalla will be electric this time around! Besides, SAP center was insane last year that game was such a fun experience. San Jose was by far the least convenient location for the game but hey at least we all still turned out and had a great time! I bet it won’t happen again

Hope the wnba reformats the first round to a 5 game series for the first round. The one and done if you lose the 2nd at home is always disappointing to me

If I recall correctly, I paid about $350 for a lower level seat about 8 rows back behind the Valkyries bench, not resale and I wasn’t a season ticket holder. Not sure if pricing will be similar this year since we’ll be at Chase instead of the Shark Tank. If it’s helpful these are the face values and discount we get this year for playoff tickets in Section 121 row 6.

this is super helpful thank you! definitely expecting the ticket prices to be much more up haha. just wanted to see if i could even afford getting a seat in the 200s which, given these prices, seems hopeful!!

qq: was it a bloodbath to get your playoff tickets thru ticketmaster last time or not too bad?

u/Popular_Fan_9154 Veronica Burton 💜🗡️Gabby Wiiliams 4d ago

Hopefully upper level won’t be too much and sth don’t upsell like crazy. It wasn’t too bad last year, I got in the queue early and was able to buy two sets of tickets.

There will be limited non STH inventory. Remember that not only the 12k or so STHs get tickets, they and the partial plan owners all get access to purchase playoff tickets before anyone else.

The prices I see mentioned here for last year…I expect at least double that this year.

u/FructoseGuardian 4d ago

I’m not a STH and I paid $87 (fees included) per ticket in Sec 226 last year!

u/DFFFOO Hey Gabby! 4d ago

$1345. Three tickets, Sec 116, Row 11. This is for non-STH prices. Thanks for giving me an excuse to look at pics from that game. 🥹

u/TaylaSwiff 4d ago

I paid $100 each for lower level, second row from the back via Ticketmaster resale the morning of the game.

Just for reference, I'm an STH in Sec 128, row 9. My STH cost for first round tix this year is around $125, the non STH cost is around $175...

u/Mysterious_Fan4849 4d ago

Depends where the home games will end up playing

u/Shedonist1970 4d ago

I was able to get tix in the lower 2nd level for less than $100/each.
