If you wanna watch Caitlin Clark take on Angel Reese in-person later Friday … ya better have some deep pockets — ’cause TMZ Sports has learned tickets prices for the big contest are SOARING.

A rep for Gametime — an app that helps fans find last-minute tix — tells us that as of Thursday afternoon, the average price to get into Wintrust Arena for the Indiana vs. Chicago tilt was $1,045!!!

To get a premium seat, the official says it could run you all the way up $2,013!!

Fortunately for WNBA fans, there are a few chairs in the building that won’t hit the wallet that hard … as, according to Gametime, some nosebleeds are available for $124 apiece.

For comparison, there are three other games going on in the W on Friday — and the cheapest seats for those tilts are going for only around $15 a pop.

But, the price tag — while sky-high — might actually be worth it … considering all the hype around Clark and Reese. The two are widely regarded as the WNBA’s best-ever rookies … and in their first three matchups, there was no shortage of action on the court.

Tip-off is just hours away … if you’re one of the 10,387 with a ticket — feel lucky!
