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. 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. The final game of the season begins at 1pm (NZT).
