After filling the Barclays Center against Caitlin Clark & the Indiana Fever, the NY Liberty will try again. Other home games are selling none/part of the Upper Deck.
Well, heralded rookie Caitlin Clark and the WNBA's Indiana Fever have already sold out the Barclays Center when they played the New York Liberty Saturday, May 18, and it's possible that will happen again, when the Fever return June 2.
If so, those may be the only two regular-season sellouts, because, at least as of now, the Liberty isn't selling all 28 Upper Deck sections for any other games.

However, due to perceived demand, the Liberty is making some Upper Deck sections available for some games. That means lower prices, commensurate with more distant views.
Either way, it looks like Liberty management is trying harder to maximize ticket revenue, all on the way to a hoped-for eventual billion-dollar valuation.
The record so far
So far, the Liberty sold out the home opener against the Fever, with 17,735 tickets distributed. (That doesn't necessarily reflect gate count, or paid attendance.)
On Monday, May 20, they drew 9,381 to see the Seattle Storm and on Thursday May 23, they drew 12,049 to see the Chicago Sky. I suspect they sold no sections of the Upper Deck for the first game but some for the second.
Going forward, tickts for many games are north of $35-$40, which makes this family entertainment a bit more expensive--though nothing like the NBA.
The most expensive tickets, for now, are $62 minimum to see Clark and the Fever June 2, and $82.20 to see a WNBA Finals rematch with the league champion Las Vegas Aces, on Sept. 8.
All prices listed are as observed on May 24; they may have changed.
