Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes’ Final Four berth has also caused the ticket prices for the NCAA Tournament to skyrocket.
The interest in women’s basketball, particularly in Clark, is at an all-time high. And sure enough, the ticket prices for the games prove as much.
NCAA Tournament Ticket Prices More Than Doubled After Caitlin Clark, Iowa Hawkeyes Make Final Four
According to the latest reports, the prices of tickets for the Final Four following the Hawkeyes’ Elite Eight win over the LSU Tigers saw a massive increase. From $384 a week ago, tickets are now available for double that price or more.
Darren Rovell of CLLCT Media shared as much, highlighting the current prices at Tick Pick. On the screenshot of the available tickets he took, one ticket was for sale for a whopping $692.
Of course it’s not really surprising that watching the Final Four has gotten more expensive. After all, Clark is the most popular player in college hoops today, and everyone wants to watch her live. Not to mention that it’s already the Final Four, and they will be up against another strong team featuring a star of their own in the UConn Huskies led by Paige Bueckers.
With the way things are going, the prices are only expected to increase as the game draws near. The available tickets are expected to be pretty scarce as well, which should only drive prices up further.
Iowa Hawkeyes’ Caitlin Clark Continues To Dominate
For what it’s worth, no one will blame those who want to buy Final Four tickets even at ridiculously high prices. Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes are THAT fun to watch.
In their Monday showdown against the LSU Tigers, Clark and Co. delivered a performance for the ages, with the sharpshooter dropping 41 points on top of 12 assists en route to the 94-87 win.
Clark shot 9-of-20 from deep, with the Tigers just unable to slow her down or even phase her. She did what she needed to do in Albany, and no one was stopping her. The 22-year-old also had seven rebounds, two steals and one block for good measure.
With the way she played, more fans are definitely motivated to go watch her live. The UConn Huskies are great opponents as well with Paige Bueckers dominating for them, so Bueckers and Clark’s showdown is certain to be a blockbuster.
