Caitlin Clark's jersey retirement sparks outrage as tickets reach insane prices

Caitlin Clark is set to receive a prestigious honor from the Iowa Hawkeyes on February 2, 2025 when the university will raise her number to the rafters and retire it.

She also became the NCAA's all-time leader scorer in both the men's and women's divisions, showing just how profound her impact was on the sport during her time in Iowa.

However, with Clark's number now set to join the likes of Megan Gustafson and Michelle Edwards in the rafters, ticket prices for the occasion have fans scratching their heads.....

As a result of that demand prices are hitting all-time highs, with the cheapest ticket on TickPick listed at a stunning $711. That is a huge increase on the previous lowest price, which was $283.

I’m thankful I saw her play her junior year in 2023. For a lot less than those prices 😀
