This Sunday, basketball fans will have the chance to witness yet another electrifying encounter between Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever and Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky. This matchup, marking their third face-off this season, continues to generate significant interest, with ticket demands remaining exceptionally high.
Current data from TickPick reveals that the average ticket price for the upcoming Fever-Sky game has reached an impressive $271, with the lowest available price, or “get-in” price, at $232. Should these figures remain stable, this game is poised to set a new record as the most expensive ticket in WNBA history, a testament to the growing popularity and competitive intensity of the league.
To put these numbers into perspective, just last weekend, the same teams clashed and the average ticket price was notably lower, at $124. The surge in ticket prices underscores the heightened anticipation and excitement surrounding this particular game.

Much of the buzz can be attributed to the burgeoning rivalry between Clark and Reese, which escalated following their last game. After a contentious moment where Reese was penalized with a flagrant foul for a high-contact play against Clark, Reese voiced her frustrations about the officiating. “Going back into looking at the film, I’ve seen a lot of calls that weren’t made. I guess some people got a special whistle,” Reese remarked to the press, hinting at perceived inconsistencies in the referees’ decisions.
Meanwhile, Clark’s performance in their last encounter was nothing short of stellar. She not only put up 23 points but also contributed nine assists, grabbed eight rebounds, and blocked two shots, showcasing her all-around skills and impact on the game.
Reese, on her part, also had a notable game, securing 11 points and 13 rebounds, despite the controversy.
Given the unfolding drama and their previous high-level performances, this upcoming game between the Fever and the Sky is shaping up to be more than just a regular season encounter.
It promises to be a captivating showcase of talent and competitive spirit, further fueled by the narrative tension between two of the WNBA’s rising stars.
Fans are eagerly anticipating not just a game, but a continuation of a compelling storyline in women’s basketball.
