Want to see Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark, arguably the GOAT of the women’s college game, play in person?
Better check to see if your bank account can withstand a hit comparable to a mortgage payment.
Tickets for games featuring Clark, the No. 1 scorer in the nation (30.9 ppg) and the No. 1 playmaker in the nation (7.9 apg), are a hot commodity – and crazy expensive.
Like as much as $1,700 per head in some cases. That’s the projected cost of seats behind the Iowa bench when the Hawkeyes visit Northwestern on Jan. 31.
Normally, tickets to a Northwestern women’s game are $12 apiece. Lower mid-court tickets for the defending national champion, LSU, are $30.
Upcoming Iowa games at Ohio State, Maryland, Nebraska and Indiana are also expected to fetch as much as $1,000 to $1,350 per ticket.
Iowa has sold out every game it has played on the road this season, upping attendance at opponents’ arenas by as much as 359 PERCENT! You read that right: 359 PERCENT!
For instance, when Iowa played at Wisconsin on Dec. 10, the attendance was 14,252. Normally, the Badgers draw an average of 4,536 fans to home games. https://www.outkick.com/caitlin-clark-effect-iowa-womens-basketball/
