Yes.

Mohegan Sun does give away tickets to Connecticut Sun basketball games, but it doesn’t give the tickets to just anyone who requests them.

Mohegan gives targeted tickets through benefits based on its Momentum membership reward program and to community partners.

In Mohegan’s Momentum program there are more perks as you level up and gamble more. Every time you play with your Momentum card, you earn Momentum Dollars. With all Momentum statuses, there are complimentary tickets for arena sports and entertainment, such as Connecticut Sun games.

Those seeking donations from the team can request them on the Connecticut Sun’s website, although the organization cautions that not all requests can be fulfilled.

There have been recent concerns about the professional basketball team moving to Boston or to another location in Hartford. The Connecticut Sun’s 2026 season ticket memberships early bird pricing recently became available.
