The Chicago Sky will host the Indiana Fever on Friday in what will be the final meeting of the regular season between these two teams. It’s also the last time that Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark will face off in the regular season. For fans hoping to grab a ticket to the game, it’s going to cost them a pretty penny.

The average ticket price for Friday’s game between the Sky and the Fever is around $884 as per WGN TV. To put things in perspective, the average ticket price for a Sky home game this season has been around $87.

It’s not surprising that tickets for this game are in high demand. The game features the leading contenders for the WNBA’s Rookie of the Year Award in Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. While both play different positions and have differing roles for their respective teams, the game will no doubt be billed as a matchup between the two.

Fans and media have played into the narrative of a budding rivalry between both players dating back to their college days. Reese and LSU defeated Clark and Iowa in the 2023 NCAA national championship game. Iowa came back the following season and knocked off LSU in the Elite Eight.

After their college days, Reese and Clark came into the WNBA with a lot of hype. And so far, they’ve managed to live up to that hype.

Clark was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft by the Fever while Reese was the No. 7 overall pick by the Sky. Both players have set multiple records this season with Clark becoming the first WNBA rookie to record a triple double and Reese setting the league record for most consecutive double-doubles.
