The Dream made history by selling out their season ticket allotment; single game tickets offer fans the next opportunity to join the excitement

ATLANTA, Ga. (April 22, 2024) – Demand has hit an all-time high for the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream as the team announced that they sold out their season ticket allotment for the upcoming season and amassed record sales of single game tickets in their limited presale. The Atlanta Dream saw the largest single day of ticket sales Sunday, with five games already sold out in Gateway Center Arena.

The Dream are only the second team in league history to sell out their season ticket allotment, alongside the WNBA defending champion Las Vegas Aces. Single Game Tickets for all remaining games will go on sale to the general public Thursday, April 25 at 8 a.m. for all remaining games, and fans are encouraged to get their tickets while they are still available.

“After making the playoffs for the first time in five years last season, our fans have carried that momentum into 2024. Excitement around women’s sports, particularly basketball, is at an all-time high and nowhere is that felt more than here in Atlanta,” said Dream President and COO Morgan Shaw Parker. “We’ve continued a record-setting growth trajectory over the past three years under new ownership – both on and off the court – and 2024 is shaping up to be our best season yet.”

With season tickets sold out for the 2024 season, the Dream also announced the launch of their first ever season ticket waiting list for fans that want to be first in line when season tickets become available. Fans interested in joining the Dream Elite Priority List can sign up starting at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, April 23.

Gabby Williams scored 17 points and the Golden State Valkyries survived a furious second-half comeback to beat the Atlanta Dream 67-62 in Game 4 of the WNBA Finals on Saturday at State Farm Arena, tying the best-of-seven series at 2-2.

Golden State took control early and never trailed after the first quarter. The Valkyries led 16-11 after one and blew the game open in the second quarter, outscoring Atlanta 26-15 to take a 42-26 halftime lead — the largest halftime margin of the series. It was the lowest-scoring half of the season for the Dream, who committed 14 turnovers before the break, more than their eight made field goals.

Foul trouble haunted Atlanta from the opening minutes. Allisha Gray picked up three fouls in the first quarter — two of them seven seconds apart — and Angel Reese went to halftime with three fouls and five turnovers. Reese, who had recorded a double-double in each of the first three Finals games, was held to eight points on 2-of-12 shooting, though she added nine rebounds and three blocks.

Atlanta refused to fold. The Dream won the third quarter 19-12, cutting the deficit on a 14-4 run fueled by Rhyne Howard, whose three-point play drew a technical foul on Golden State coach Natalie Nakase. Isobel Borlase’s three-pointer trimmed the lead to six and brought the State Farm Arena crowd to its feet.

The Dream kept coming in the fourth. After Veronica Burton’s fadeaway pushed the margin to 66-59 with 34 seconds left, Howard scored on a driving layup and completed the three-point play at the line to make it 66-62 with 28 seconds remaining. Burton split a pair of free throws, and Williams sealed the win by stealing Reese’s pass with nine seconds left.

Williams finished with 17 points, five rebounds and three steals for Golden State. Veronica Burton and Tiffany Hayes scored 13 points apiece, and Cecilia Zandalasini added 10 off the bench. Kiah Stokes grabbed 16 rebounds and blocked three shots, setting a WNBA Finals record for blocks in a series with 13 and becoming the first player in Finals history with more than two blocks in four consecutive games.

“Finally they decided to fight,” Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase said of her team’s response after the Game 3 loss. “They’re playing their hearts out and that’s what I love.” On Golden State’s defense against Reese, she added: “It’s just team defense, the same thing. It’s the same game plan, it’s just now that we’re executing it.”

Howard led Atlanta with 19 points and eight rebounds. Jordin Canada and Isobel Borlase scored 10 points each. The Dream outrebounded the Valkyries 51-42 but shot just 33.3 percent and committed 18 turnovers to Golden State’s nine, while the Valkyries owned the paint 38-28.

The series now shifts back to San Francisco for Game 5 on Monday, October 26 at 8 p.m. ET at Chase Center. Game 6, if necessary, is Thursday, October 29 in Atlanta, and a deciding Game 7 would be played Saturday, October 31 at Golden State. Both franchises are still chasing the first championship in their history.
