Multiple factors are behind the massive ticket price increase, including Caitlin Clark's playing against an international team. Another reason could be that the game is being played at the University of Iowa’s Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Per Front Office Sports, the next three highest-priced games have all been from college games. On Mar. 3, 2024, when she set the new NCAA all-time scoring record in a game against Ohio State, the average ticket price went to $411.
The next highest ticket prices came in the same month in 2024 and earlier this year. On Feb.15 last year, when she broke the NCAA’s women’s all-time scoring record, the average price touched $309. Moreover, the average cost for Clark’s jersey retirement game between Iowa and USC was $289.
The ticket prices for Indiana Fever games have also gone up. The average Fever road game is $272, compared to $171 last year, and the teams are reportedly moving their Fever games to bigger arenas.
Kamilla Cardoso picks Caitlin Clark over teammate Angel Reese as the most promising player in WNBA
Caitlin Clark's rookie season showed what the Indiana Fever star could be in the next few years. Leading the league in assists in her rookie season and displaying elite offensive caliber to lead the Fever team into the playoffs, Clark raised her bar.
In terms of having a promising career, the WNBA star certainly leads the group, and Angel Reese's Chicago Sky teammate Kamilla Cardoso believes in this, too. Ahead of the contest against her national team, Cardoso was asked a series of Portuguese questions.
When the interviewer asked to name the player she thought was most promising, Cardoso named Caitlin Clark.
Cardoso's teammates Angel Reese and Clark have been pitted against each other since their rookie season, creating two big competing fan bases. Anytime Reese and Clark faced each other, they were able to bring the largest number of fans into the arena. Notably, the Sky and the Fever will face each other in ESPN's doubleheader on May 17.
