As the MLB's World Series moves onto a title-deciding Game Seven between the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians at Cleveland's Progressive Field later today, the ticket prices for the match have sky-rocketed.
With both sides looking to break severely long title droughts - the Indians have not won a World
Series since 1948, while the Cubs are still searching for a title after a 108 year wait - tickets to witness such a historic match were always bound to be in high demand.
As a result, ticket distributors are taking advantage of the unique occasion, with tickets being sold for immense prices.
The cheapest tickets currently listed for sale on ticket exchange and resale website StubHub - sitting on the US$995 mark (NZ$1364.33) - are more expensive than the priciest tickets for both the 2014 FIFA World Cup (US$990) and 2015 Rugby World Cup (US$880) finals.
The most expensive tickets available for the final match of the 2016 World Series are the Diamond Box tickets. If you can manage to fork out a whopping US$75,000 (NZ$102,876.43) per ticket for the seats, you would be situated in the front row at ground level and directly behind the Indians' dugout.
