Leicester's March To The Premier League Title Is Starting To Cost Lifelong Fans

Leicester's march to the title is now causing problems for their fans. Lifelong Foxes supporters who would have followed them through the dark days of relegation to League One in 2008 now get the glory of seeing their team win the Premier League.

It's a remarkable run, and one that diehard supporters would have to be there to see when Wes Morgan lifts the trophy. If they want to do that it'll cost them quite a lot of money. Tickets to Leicester's final home game against Everton sold out within 90 minutes of going on sale.

They are now listed on resale websites for a whopping £15,000.

To put that into context, the average cost of a Superbowl ticket is $3,500; of a Champions League final ticket is $1,925; and of a ticket to the Wimbledon men's final is €4,895.

A Leicester City spokesman revealed that there was an unprecedented demand for tickets, that lead to club members not getting tickets. He warned that any ticket touters would be prosecuted.

Fans took to facebook to direct their ire at not getting tickets despite being members.
