Caitlin Clark's Final Home Game Draws Insane Ticket Prices

Published|Updated

Fans hoping to watch Caitlin Clark play one last home game better be ready to spend some big money.

Clark's final home game of her college basketball career is Sunday against Ohio State, and she's just 17 points away from tying Pete Maravich's all-time NCAA basketball scoring record of 3,667 points.

Eighteen points will make her the sole leader. Hype is off the charts to watch her lace up her shoes one last time in Carver-Hawkeye Arena, and fans are opening up their wallets at prices you simply never see for women's basketball.

Caitlin Clark's final home game draws huge ticket prices.

The cheapest ticket on SeatGeek to get into Carver-Hawkeye Arena Sunday costs $460 with fees included. The most expensive tickets are listed for more than $5,700.

For comparison, tickets to Alabama/Tennessee Saturday - a major weekend men's game - start at $137 with fees included.

Caitlin Clark's final home game is drawing ticket prices that crush the best men's game of the weekend and rival what you'd expect to see out of the men's Final Four.

As I've said before and as I'll say again, Caitlin Clark transcends women's basketball. She's become bigger than the sport itself.

There are people who otherwise wouldn't ever watch women's basketball who tune in just to see Clark play. It's been an incredible phenomenon to watch unfold.

She also does things the right way, and doesn't have all the drama surrounding her that you see at other programs. The Iowa star is an outstanding role model for young women.

Now, she has one regular season left, the B1G tournament, the NCAA Tournament and then she'll be off to the WNBA. What a journey it's been, and it's now time for people to pay up if they want to watch her final home game. Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com how much you'd pay!
