When Do Phoenix Mercury Tickets Go on Sale?

As of November 9, 2026, the Phoenix Mercury have not announced a 2027 single-game ticket release date or time. The sale is therefore unconfirmed, not scheduled for a guessed day. The best estimate is after the WNBA posts its 2027 schedule; start at the Mercury’s official ticket page, which directs buyers to Ticketmaster.

The biggest ticket traps are treating a resale listing as the team’s public sale and mistaking a likely release window for a confirmed date. I separate the team’s announcement, any member or partner presale, and general sale before planning a purchase. For 2027, the first two dates and any opening prices remain unknown; a past year’s timing is useful context, not a promise.

Mercury ticket timing and the likely 2027 release window

There is no fixed annual date for Mercury single-game tickets. As of November 9, 2026, I found no official 2027 single-game on-sale date or time. Based on recent seasons, a release could follow the schedule announcement and may happen in stages, but no specific 2027 day or hour is confirmed.

The recent timing differs enough to rule out a reliable calendar-day prediction. For 2026, the WNBA released the Mercury schedule on January 21, and tickets for home games went on sale January 22 at 1 p.m. Phoenix time. In 2025, the team announced its schedule on December 2, 2024, put the home opener on sale, then released more single-game inventory in waves from March 17 through April 15, 2025. (azfamily.com)

So, for 2027, treat “after the schedule announcement” as the useful signal—not a guaranteed month, date, or sale time. The WNBA says the league builds its schedule with input from teams and arenas, along with travel and broadcast needs. The league also says each team will play 50 regular-season games starting in 2027; neither fact establishes when Phoenix will sell tickets. (wnba.com)

The 2025 and 2026 examples show why a single “usual” sale date can mislead. In 2025, one game was available well before all other home games; in 2026, the published announcement said home-game tickets would go on sale the next day. Neither record proves what the Mercury will do for 2027. (oursportscentral.com)

Presale access, ticket selection, and checkout

Mercury season-ticket members have had priority access to single-game presales before the general public. That is a real route to check, but no 2027 presale date, access code, registration deadline, or membership requirement beyond the published member benefit has been announced. (mercury.wnba.com)

The team’s 2025 member information describes priority presale access and a way for members to add seats. It does not promise that every game or seat will be included in a presale. For 2027, read the offer details when the Mercury posts them; don’t assume that a credit card, newsletter signup, or old code will unlock access. (mercury.wnba.com)

A practical access checklist:

• Season members: If you already have a Mercury membership, check the member account and messages for the current presale link and rules.
• Other buyers: Sign in to Ticketmaster before the sale and confirm your contact and payment details.
• Presale offers: Follow only an offer linked from the Mercury or its named ticket seller. Check its eligibility, start time, and any stated seat or purchase limits.
• No code? Do not buy a code from an unofficial seller. The team has not published a 2027 code or general presale terms.

If Ticketmaster uses a queue, its guidance is to enter the waiting room up to 15 minutes before the sale, use one device and browser, and avoid refreshing while in line. A queue position does not guarantee tickets, and Ticketmaster says the time to reach the seat map can vary. These are general Ticketmaster instructions, not confirmation that every Mercury sale will use a queue. (help.ticketmaster.com)

Historical release and pricing trends

The clearest pattern is that the Mercury controls release timing by season and may stage games separately. The available public announcements confirm dates and times for recent releases, but the sources reviewed do not provide a verified starting price or a 2027 price list. I won’t turn a resale listing into a claimed team price.

In 2025, the Mercury divided the general sale into five waves. The reported dates were March 17 at 1 p.m. for Indiana Fever games, March 24 at noon for New York Liberty games, March 31 at noon for Chicago Sky games, April 7 at noon for Las Vegas Aces games, and April 15 at noon for all games. The home preseason game and opener were already available. All times were reported as local Phoenix time. (azfamily.com)

For 2026, reporting tied to the schedule announcement listed January 22 at 1 p.m. as the sale time for Mercury home games. That is a useful historical data point, not proof of a yearly January sale. The official Mercury ticket page is the better source for current inventory; Ticketmaster’s listing identifies it as the team’s official marketplace. (azfamily.com)

The team’s public pages offer no verified 2027 face-value starting price, order limit, or required minimum spend. Prices depend on the game and seat shown at checkout, so compare the full total—including fees—rather than using a search result or resale “from” price as the Mercury’s official price.

A step-by-step buying playbook

Before the drop

Bookmark the Mercury’s ticket page and sign up for team updates. The team lists phone and email contacts on its ticket pages, and its official route leads buyers to the event listing. Save your target games and a few acceptable seating areas so you can decide quickly without guessing once inventory opens. (mercury.wnba.com)

Create or test your Ticketmaster login ahead of time. Check the 2027 offer terms when they appear, including sale time, presale access, and any purchase cap. Those details are not yet confirmed for 2027, so don’t rely on limits or codes from an older season.

On sale day

Open the Mercury’s own ticket link and confirm you are on the correct game page. If a queue appears, stay on that page and follow Ticketmaster’s instructions; don’t open several devices or refresh in a panic. Once you can shop, verify the date, seat location, quantity, and final checkout total before paying. Ticketmaster advises using one device and browser for its queues. (help.ticketmaster.com)

Have a backup seating choice, but don’t accept a seat or ticket type you don’t want just because a countdown is running. If the final total is too high, pause and compare another game or section. The public sources reviewed do not verify a universal Mercury cart timer or 2027 maximum ticket count.

After buying

Save the confirmation and check that the tickets appear in your Ticketmaster account. The Mercury’s ticket instructions explain how to access tickets through the team app or Ticketmaster account manager, and recommend adding tickets to a mobile wallet ahead of the event. (mercury.wnba.com)

Official sales, resale, and price protection

Begin at the Mercury’s official ticket page. It links to the team’s single-game ticket sales, while Ticketmaster identifies itself as the official marketplace for Mercury tickets. A resale listing can appear before or alongside the public sale; that does not mean the team has opened general sales, and a resale price is not proof of face value. (mercury.wnba.com)

If the game is sold out, compare resale listings by seat, quantity, delivery method, and full checkout cost. Do not count on prices dropping near game day; resale prices can move either way, and there is no verified Mercury-specific price-drop curve for 2027. Check the ticket seller’s guarantee and terms before paying.

The Mercury’s ticket terms state that tickets may be resold only on a platform expressly authorized by the team or the WNBA. Use the Mercury’s own account tools to transfer or sell tickets when available, and read the current terms before buying elsewhere. (mercury.wnba.com)

No 2027 price-adjustment promise, coupon, or cashback offer was found in the sources reviewed. If a price changes after purchase, ask the seller or team whether that specific order qualifies for an adjustment; don’t assume it does.

A 2025 example: why staged sales matter

The 2025 release shows how a buyer could miss a desired matchup by watching only for one all-games launch. The Mercury announced the schedule on December 2, 2024, and said the home opener was available while other home-game dates would come later. In March, the team’s reported sale plan put high-demand matchups into separate weekly waves, with all games opening April 15. (oursportscentral.com)

The useful strategy was to track the exact game, not just the season-wide sale. A buyer targeting Indiana could mark March 17 at 1 p.m.; someone wanting all home games could mark April 15 at noon. Those dates applied to 2025 only. For 2027, wait for the team’s actual announcement, then record each wave separately. The most common mistake is treating an early listing as proof that the official public sale has started.

Frequently asked questions

Are 2027 Phoenix Mercury tickets on sale yet?

No official 2027 single-game on-sale date or time had been announced as of November 9, 2026. Start with the Mercury’s official ticket page and watch team announcements for the schedule and sale details. A third-party resale listing does not confirm the team’s public sale has begun.

What exact day do Mercury tickets go on sale for 2027?

The date is unconfirmed. Recent timing varied: 2026 home tickets went on sale January 22 at 1 p.m. Phoenix time, while 2025 tickets came out in stages from March 17 through April 15. Those dates are historical examples, not a 2027 schedule. (azfamily.com)

What time should I expect the 2027 sale to start?

No 2027 launch time is published. The 2026 sale was reported for 1 p.m. Phoenix time, and 2025 waves included noon and 1 p.m. starts. Use the time in the Mercury’s current announcement rather than assuming an old start time will repeat. (azfamily.com)

Where should I buy Phoenix Mercury tickets?

Start at the Mercury’s official ticket page and follow its link to the game listing. Ticketmaster identifies itself as the official marketplace for the team. If you use a resale site, treat the listing as resale and compare the complete price and terms. (mercury.wnba.com)

Do Mercury members get presale access?

The team’s member information says season members have priority access to single-game presales before the general public. No 2027 presale date, code, or registration deadline has been announced. Check your member account and the specific sale terms for eligibility and inventory details. (mercury.wnba.com)

What is the official starting price for 2027 tickets?

The Mercury has not published a verified 2027 starting price. Check the ticket price and full checkout total on the official listing when it opens. A resale listing’s lowest displayed price is not the team’s confirmed face-value starting price.

Does a resale listing mean public sales have started?

No. A seller may list tickets before the Mercury announces its general sale. Confirm the game and seller through the Mercury’s official ticket route, and check whether the ticket is primary or resale before checkout.

What should I do if Ticketmaster puts me in a queue?

Ticketmaster recommends joining the waiting room up to 15 minutes before a sale, staying on one device and browser, and not refreshing once in line. Queue entry does not guarantee tickets, and wait times vary by event. These are Ticketmaster’s general queue rules. (help.ticketmaster.com)
