Fierce rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese is fueling interest in the women's March Madness tourney and driving up ticket prices.
College hoops fans who want to watch the last four women's teams battle it out in this year's edition of the March Madness tournament in person may want to brace for sticker shock. On SeatGeek, the cheapest tickets for the women's Final Four matchups on April 5 was $674, compared with $611 for the men's bracket. At Ticketmaster, as of Monday the lowest-priced seats for the women's and men's Final Four games were $746 and $693, respectively.
Clark and Reese squared off for last year's national championship, which LSU captured, and the two are matched up again in an eagerly anticipated Elite Eight contest Monday night. 'We're seeing a seismic shift in the world of sports, thanks to athletes like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and others who are captivating audiences with their talent and star power,' Chris Leyden, SeatGeek's growth marketing director, told CBS MoneyWatch.
