Got $4K? No. 2 LSU women's basketball at No. 1 South Carolina ticket prices soaring

The hype around the undefeated showdown between No. 2 LSU women's basketball and No. 1 South Carolina has reached surreal heights.

More than two weeks ago, South Carolina announced that the matchup inside the 18,600-seat Colonial Life Arena was sold out. Potential spectators have had to rely on the secondary market for tickets if they want to be in the house to see Kim Mulkey lead LSU (23-0, 11-0) against Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks (24-0, 11-0) with the Southeastern Conference lead on the line.

Because of the sellout, South Carolina will open doors to CLA 90 minutes prior to tipoff.

With tipoff for the clash roughly 24 hours away, what sellers are asking for tickets has continued to rise. One seller on SeatGeek.com is asking for more than $4,200 for one front row seat in Section 113.
