Not cheap. Had to be in the upper corner nose bleeds to be under $50. Some low level floor seats over $500? Is CC22 coming back to play in that one? Decided to get tickets too the Mens Hawk vs Blue Jays game instead. About half the price and Des Moines is an hour closer to KC anyway. Looking forward to seeing Bens new crew on Nov 15th.....

I just bought tickets. Where is this venue in Sioux City. I am flying into Sioux Falls from the West Coast, easier flights. Can someone who knows the area recommend a hotel?

Forgot to look this morning, then looked tonight and the cheapest tickets were $318. F that, I'm not paying anywhere near that to watch Women's Basketball, and I don't care if Caitlin Clark is involved.

Still see $40 ones in super nose-bleed area off to the right. The lowest in the blue bottom sections under basket area is $128 although most are $318 as you stated. The other gray area sections range from $53 - $128.
The Lowest Price link which shows $318 is bs.
It's a 3pm CT game. Click Buy Tickets from this link:

Replying about places to stay in Sioux City. Lots of great options. Sioux City is not very big and there are some hotels close to the Tyson. Stoney Creek is right next door and is nice. I would recommend three more. The Warrior is downtown and totally redone 1940 style hotel. Close old 4th street bar scene. VERY NICE. On site bar and restaurant with good food. Across the river is the Marriot. . Kahills restaurant is attached and the best steak in Siouxland. Hilton Garden Inn is also close and has the restaurant Crave attached. Good Sushi and wine place. Each one is very close to the Tyson Event Center and easy to get to.

Thank You, I'll take a look again. I looked at the Tyson website only.

Guess you end up at Ticketmaster regardless, but switched to the seat map and if you need more than one ticket it's $300 plus at this point. I've paid that for various concerts and sporting events over the years but Women's Basketball doesn't come close to fitting that criteria. Oh well, TV it is! 😂

Noticed 5 spots in a row for $52.85 yet in section 101 (very top left of arena photo). However, they are the very top row in the corner of the arena. Obviously not ideal but maybe in a smaller arena of <7000 it might not be as bad as 15,000 at CHA?

Agreed. I wouldn't mind that actually, but maybe I just missed it, but I thought some of those appeared to be the handicap section(?). So my eyes might be garbage but don't think that would get me in the handicap spots without some questions. 🙂

The ticket outlets get a majority of the tickets and ask what their algorithms say the market will bear, which is significantly higher than face value. The Mrs. and I said, thanks but no thanks for both basketball games.

Oh, I get that. Its just that I rarely get a chance to see either team play live. The guys being in Des Moines makes it a pretty easy trip and I got tickets for about 50 each with fees, mid court up high. I've had similar seats when they played in the Big4 classic against UNI and they were pretty good. Staying with my wife's niece in town so no hotel cost. AND since I'm retiring at the end of June, we don't need to hurry home after the game. Looking forward to seeing Ben's bunch 2026.....

I saw a news article that folks in Sioux City arrived at 5:15 AM to line up for tickets. Ticket offoce opened at 10:00 AM. Many people waited two hours to get tickets. Go Hawk fans.
