Friday’s Sky-Fever, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese Matchup Is Most Expensive WNBA Game Ever originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago

Chicago Sky hosts Indiana Fever at Wintrust Arena for the final game between the Midwest teams of this WNBA regular season.

Given the intense battles between the two teams this season, highlighted by All-Star rookies Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, tickets to this game are expensive. According to TickPick, Friday’s game is the most expensive WNBA game ever.

The average ticket price for the match is a whopping $334. That’s a 16% increase on their June match ($287). It’s also 159% more expensive than the average purchase price of Sky’s home match ($59).

The current “get-in” price is now $165, which is 84 percent more expensive than the “get-in” price of last season’s Chicago Bulls home opener ($104). The largest purchase of the game is a three-ticket combo worth $2,460, an average ticket price of $820.

The big game comes shortly after Sky unveiled their new mascot, Skye the Lioness. According to the team, the lioness was chosen to “embody strength, feminine power, grace and the courage to overcome obstacles.”

The team’s current mascot, Sky Guy, who debuted in 2006, will remain on display at games through the end of the season.

In the WNBA standings, Sky is currently in eighth place with 11 wins and 19 losses. Indiana Fever, in seventh place, has 15 wins and 16 losses.
