Report: Tickets for Leicester's final home match selling for £15,000

Excitement is at an all-time high at the King Power Stadium, and it's pricing some people out of the market.

Leicester City, on the verge of capturing a Premier League title, saw tickets for its final home match of the season - against Everton on May 7 - sell out in 90 minutes, with reports suggesting they're reselling for as much as £15,000 a pair.

The Foxes, seven points clear of Tottenham with five matches remaining, can secure the most unlikely of league triumphs with three more wins. If Claudio Ranieri's men emerge victorious in their next three contests, that fixture against Everton - the penultimate contest of the year - will act as an on-field celebration in front of 32,312 rabid fans.

Naturally, everyone in the city wants to ensure they attend what could be the most joyous moment in club history.

"Tickets for Leicester City's final home Barclays Premier League game of the season sold out within 90 minutes minutes of going on sale. There was unprecedented demand online, over the phone, and in-person," reads a statement on Leicester's website.

But while the desire to take in the potentially historic evening is admirable, the BBC reports tickets are selling at ridiculously inflated prices on resale websites. Individual tickets are reportedly being advertised for £3,000, and pairs are going for five times that much.

"The club have been brilliant with fans these past couple of seasons. But I think there will be a few questions for them to answer as to how this has happened. I can't see how ordinary fans could afford to pay £15,000 for two tickets - it's the price of a second-hand car," one Leicester supporter told the BBC.
