The basketball shot that led the sports highlight shows last night has given the Las Vegas Aces a ticket-selling marketing idea to peddle a $15 ticket for an upper bowl seat for Sunday’s Game 3 of the WNBA semifinals at Mandalay Bay Events Center.
With the sports world buzzing about the Aces’ Dearica Hamby’s miracle game-winning three-point shot with 4.8 seconds left in the game to defeat the Chicago Sky in a win-or-go-home playoff game Sunday, the Aces are selling a $15 playoff ticket for four hours and eight minutes in a flash sale that began late Monday afternoon.
The Aces head coach, Bill Laimbeer, wrote a letter as part of an ad in the local newspaper last week imploring locals to attend the Aces’ one-game, winner-take-all playoff game at Thomas & Mack Sunday.
The Aces are hoping a big crowd shows up for Sunday’s playoff game in the WNBA semifinals that matches the Aces against a powerful Washington Mystics team led by Elena Delle Donne.
The Aces’ Twitter item posted around 4 p.m. said, “@dearicamarie hit yesterday’s game-winner with 4.8 seconds left on the clock, so we’re celebrating with a 4.8 Flash Sale! For the next 4 hours and 8 minutes, tickets to Game 3 of the WNBA Semifinals are on sale for $15!”
The Hamby Heave has also prompted T-shirts sales.
