Caitlin Clark fans can expect to pay hundreds to get in door for her run at record Thursday
Associated PressIOWA CITY, Iowa — Fans who want to be able to say they were in the arena when Caitlin Clark set the NCAA women’s career scoring record will be paying an unprecedented premium at this point. “I’ve had to tell a lot of people, ‘No,’ ” said Clark, who still was able to take care of a large group of family and friends for Thursday night’s game between No. Face value for Iowa women’s basketball tickets is about $15 when broken out of a season-ticket package, assistant athletic director for ticket operations Jess Rickertsen said. And then you combine that with the atmospheres that we’re facing, it does feel like an NCAA Tournament and that can be taxing on you physically, mentally and emotionally.” The record for highest resale price for a women’s basketball game entering this season was $150 for the 2022 WNBA All-Star Game, according to TickPick. After Clark fell short of the scoring record in Iowa’s 82-79 loss at Nebraska on Sunday, the average for Thursday’s game swelled.
