Looking for tickets to the World Series? You and everyone else.

The intrigue: Average prices to see the Astros vie for their second World Series title starting Friday have soared to more than $3,000 — the second-highest price for a single championship game in over a decade, according to CNBC, citing ticket reseller TicketIQ.

State of play: Tickets to all four World Series games in Houston are sold out. 

Buying a single standing-room-only ticket for Game 1 on a secondary market like StubHub or Gametime will cost you upward of $545, without taxes and fees, as of late Wednesday.
