Caitlin Clark vs Angel Reese Part III ticket prices soar AGAIN… as fans clamor to get hold of the most expensive ticket in WNBA history
College basketball’s greatest individual rivalry has led to an even greater following in the WNBA. And the third professional match between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark will yield the most expensive tickets in WNBA history.
According to the website CheckChoosethe average purchase price for a single ticket for Sunday’s Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky game is $291.
The cheapest tickets available cost $208, high in the nosebleeds, while the least expensive ticket in the lower bracket costs $260.
In both previous Fever-Sky matchups, Clark has been at the center of controversy with an opponent, the last time being Reese himself.
On June 1, Clark was checked by Reese’s teammate, Chennedy Carter, in a move that fans called out as not in good faith with basketball.

Carter declined to answer questions about the matter during a post-game press conference, but doubled down online, stating “what, besides three-point shooting, does she bring to the table man” on Threads.
Last Sunday, Reese committed a flagrant foul on Clark when the former LSU star missed a block attempt and struck Clark in the head with her arm, sending her rival to the ground in pain.
Reese also outed Clark and her team to the press, stating that they had a “special whistle.”
Both previous Sky-Fever matchups this season took place in Indianapolis and were won by the Fever.
Now it will be Reese’s first time playing against Clark on her home court as a professional. A raucous, sold-out crowd is expected at Wintrust Arena, catering to ticket price demand.
“I’ve seen the ticket prices, the only thing is I’m surprised we’re not playing at the United Center,” Clark said Friday night after a win over the Atlanta Dream.
Clark then admitted that she didn’t know that rapper Russ has a show planned at the Chicago Bulls’ house in the evening.
“I thought this would have been really good for the game and for all the women’s basketball fans in Chicago,” Clark continued. “Maybe there’s some kind of conflict that I don’t know about, but that’s clearly a little above my salary.”
The United Center has nearly 21,000 fans, while Wintrust Arena, the venue for Sunday’s game, holds less than half of that (10,000).
The Fever came into Sunday’s matchup having won four games in a row. The game against the Sky is the start of a four-game road trip for Indiana.
