With a tumultuous time outside the league, the WNBA Finals come as the final entry in the long 2025 season chapter. Interestingly, the final is between two teams that were not the top pick to reach there. The Minnesota Lynx were a surefire bet to enter the finals. However, it was the Las Vegas Aces and the Phoenix Mercury who punched their ticket to the finals.

Both teams will battle it out for the 2025 championship title, starting with their first clash in the Michelob Ultra Arena. And the WNBA has decided to sweeten the deal even further. Reportedly, tickets for Game 1 of the WNBA Finals between the Aces and Mercury are starting at just $35. Furthermore, Game 2 tickets are selling for $43, Game 3 and 4 for $54.

Currently, Games 5, 6, and 7 are not on the table. But looking at the close clashes in all playoff games, this championship final can also go the distance. The prices of Game 5 are set at $95, Game 6 at $50, and Game 7 at $126 on the Seatgeek website. However, the prices of these tickets are expected to change, looking at how the first four games go. But for now, the Game 1 prices sound like a steal.

This is a huge bargain for fans looking to witness the game live. For a series featuring a clash of two MVP finalists, fans can witness it with a surprisingly low get-in price. Since last year, there has been a huge influx of fans who want to watch the games live. From 2024 to 2025, there has been an overall jump of 145 percent in the ticket demands of the WNBA games.

This is a positive sign for the league, looking at the current CBA fiasco going on. The WNBA Finals series will be an action-packed one, too. And the numbers tell the story. On one side, the lower-seeded Mercury has been rampant in the postseason. And on the other side, the higher-seeded Aces are having close calls in the playoffs.

Las Vegas edged Seattle by a single point in Game 3 of the first round. Furthermore, Indiana also forced them into a Game 5 OT. But through it all, they emerged victorious. The Mercury is the dark horse of this season. They first defeated the defending champions, New York, in round one. Then they eliminated the number one seed, Minnesota, in the finals.

But being realistic, this WNBA Finals series depends on whether Phoenix can stop a rampant A’ja Wilson. She’s averaging 26.0 PPG, 9.1 RPG, and 2.8 BPG in the postseason. Furthermore, her record against the Mercury is also great, dropping an average of 25 points against them. Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray have been the supporting cast for the Aces engine.

However, Phoenix has its own lethal trio for the first game. Satou Sabally, Alyssa Thomas, and Kahleah Copper have already taken down bigger teams in the postseason. To keep it simple, the first game is a must-watch for the WNBA fans. With the ticket prices set so low, they even have the chance to watch it live. The stakes are high, and it reflects the chaos around it.

All eyes are on the WNBA Finals as support for players starts to pour in

Everyone is picking sides before the clash between the Las Vegas Aces and the Phoenix Mercury starts. There are no clear favorites, and it reflects in the predictions. Every WNBA analyst has picked either of the two teams, but not without mentioning a Game 6 or 7 series. However, the fans will always pick their own team for the win. This extends to the family and friends of the players, too.

One of the first to give their two cents in predictions was the Miami Heat center and A’ja Wilson’s boyfriend, Bam Adebayo. He said, “That’s the biggest thing I want in life, I want her to win. I want her to keep being and setting a higher standard for everybody, to where people think it’s impossible until it’s done. I want people, when she’s done, to be like this is the greatest women’s basketball player to ever touch a basketball. From the time she touched it to the time she left.”

Cheyenne Parker-Tyus also returned to the Aces just nine weeks after giving birth. She described her state as “blissful” with family behind her as she now plays in her first WNBA Finals with the Aces. For the Mercury side, the couple of Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner will be alongside on the hardwood, battling it out as Thomas makes a run for her first trophy. Thomas has played 54 games but has never won a championship title.

Will Thomas lift her first trophy, or will Wilson deny her to clinch her third? The answer to that will become clear after the WNBA Finals series wraps up.
