For Indians fans willing to make the five-plus hour drive to Chicago, there may be some affordable seats available for the potentially decisive Game 5 of the World Series. With the Cubs on the brink of elimination, ticket prices to Sunday night's game at Wrigley Field are trending downward in a big way.
Nine hours before Game 5, the Chicago market has completely collapsed. There are now 445 tickets under $1,000 listed on StubHub.

As of 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, the least expensive ticket on Vividseats.com was $648 for a general admission, standing-room only ticket. Per FoxSports.com, during the seventh inning of Game 4, the lowest priced ticket for Game 5 was still $1,000.
The Indians scored three runs in the top of seventh to blow the game open with a 7-1 lead, and Game 5 ticket prices “tumbled out by out, inning by inning,” according to the report.
Cleveland went on to win Game 4 7-2 to take a 3-1 lead in the series.
