University of Iowa alum Greg Mittelan had the game circled on his calendar last fal, but getting tickets was a challenge.

“She’s so exciting to watch. It’s awesome,” Mittelman said. “Single game was sold out so I made a snap decision, ‘I’m just gonna go for season tickets.'”

The Iowa game is the first time Northwestern women’s basketball has ever sold out at Welsh Ryan Arena. It turns out a season ticket package was less expensive than a single game ticket for the game on the secondary market.

Ticket brokers were selling the least expensive general admission tickets for more than $230 apiece.
