Tickets for Caitlin Clark return to Iowa, Fever vs. Brazil sell out in less than an hour with insane get-in price

Caitlin Clark‘s return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena in May will come with as much fanfare as you’d expect as tickets for the Indiana Fever star’s preseason game against Brazil in Iowa City sold out in 40 minutes.

Tickets went on sale Thursday and were swiftly bought out. For fans still interested in attending, they’re not completely out of luck as tickets are currently being sold on the secondary market for roughly $690.

The preseason matchup is slated for May 4. It will be the first time that an Indiana Fevers game will take place on Iowa‘s home court.

Clark made a hero’s return to her alma mater earlier this month to see her No. 22 jersey retired and hung in the rafters of Carver-Hawkeye Arena. This came after her WNBA rookie season, less than a year after she left Iowa for the professional ranks.

The swift jersey retirement was due to Clark’s unique status — she’s arguably one of the greatest college basketball players of all time.

In her four years in Iowa City, Clark became just the sixth player ever to amass 1,000 or more career assists. Clark also became the first Division I player to produce back-to-back 1,000-point seasons.

Clark is the all-time leader in 30-plus point performances in men’s and women’s college basketball over the last 25 seasons, notching 59 such games. She had 20 career games with 30-plus points and 10-plus assists, with no other woman in college basketball in the past 25 seasons having more than two such games.

Additionally, she set NCAA records for the most single-game assists, dishing out 15 in a game against Colorado in the NCAA Tournament. She took the NCAA’s all-time career field goals made record, as well, doing so in the same game against the Buffaloes.

Not only will the May 4 preseason matchup be one with personal ties for Clark, her teammate, Damiris Dantas, will be suiting up against her former team. Dantas previously played on the Brazilian National Team during both the 2016 and 2012 Summer Olympics.

The Fever previsouly announced two other games that will be played during the preseason — May 3 vs. Washington Mystics at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and May 10 at Atlanta Dream.

Once those games wrap up, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever will tip off its 2025 regular season just one week later on May 17 against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.
