It will cost more money to attend the women's Final Four this year than the men's, according to ticket broker StubHub.
That's a massive difference in the number of tickets available. So while there seems to be more interest in the women's games, there are also far fewer opportunities to attend, thus helping drive the price up.
One drawback to the expensive women's tickets is the cost for players' families to attend. LSU's Angel Reese said Thursday that the high prices are"exciting" because of the interest level, but noted it's tough to get more tickets for loved ones to watch. LSU head coach Kim Mulkey expanded on that. "Angel [Reese] is right: These young ladies and their families have to sit up high," Mulkey said."I would like to see their families be able to sit down low and buy those tickets or save a section for the families where they can go hug their families afterwards."The star power of each Final Four could also play a role in the prices.
