The Caitlin Clark show just keeps on cruising. And, boy, are there quite a lot of folks interested in where the journey will end.

According to a post on X by Overtime, tickets to the upcoming game between No. 5 Iowa and No. 2 Ohio State are going for exorbitant prices. The lowest non-general admission ticket is listed at $491, making it the priciest ticket in women’s basketball history.

As Overtime’s video walks you through, that’s a more expensive get-in ticket than you could get at last year’s NBA Finals. Overtime quoted a $449 entry price to Game 3 of last year’s NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets.

It’s also more expensive than the men’s NCAA Tournament championship game, with get-in tickets to that one going as low as $236.

Suffice it to say, there’s a whole lot of interest in watching Clark potentially wrap up her collegiate career as she chases the all-time NCAA scoring record held by LSU‘s Pete Maravich.

So how close is Clark to actually breaking that record?

Caitlin Clark chases Pete Maravich’s scoring record

To date, Caitlin Clark has scored 3,617 points in her career. That total was enough to propel her past Washington‘s Kelsey Plum for the most by any player in the women’s game.

But Clark can also break the overall NCAA scoring record, which is held by former LSU great Pete Maravich and was set back in 1970.

Clark is just 50 off Maravich’s total of 3,667 points. If she keeps up her season averages, she very well could break the mark on Sunday in that much ballyhooed game against Ohio State …. undoubtedly one of the reasons the get-in cost is so high.

Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes will take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers on the road on Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET, with the game streaming on Peacock.

Then it’ll be on to Sunday and the showdown with the Buckeyes. That game is set to be played at noon ET on Sunday, with a broadcast on FOX. It will be Senior Day for the Hawkeyes.
