Liverpool currently rank No. 1 on the standing table of the 2018-19 Premier League season with 60 points, four ahead of No.2 Manchester City.
Though there are still 15 rounds before the season ends, Liverpool fans already grew crazy for the club's last game, according to Daily Mail, the price for the game between Liverpool and Wolves at the Anfield Stadium on May 12 was already worth thousands of U.S. dollars.
Under manager Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool this season was nearly unstoppable and already won 18 of their 23 games so far. If they can get this great momentum till the end, there's a perfect chance that the club and their fans will be celebrating the first Premier League champion in 29 years.
To witness the (possible) very moment at the scene, Liverpool fans are more than willing to empty their wallets for a ticket. Therefore, a home game ticket that is usually worth 48 to 77 U.S. dollars is way more expensive now, available for 7,819 dollars.

A Madrid-based resale website, livefootballtickets.com, has a maximum of 212 tickets on offer. The cheapest one goes by 1,445 U.S. dollars apiece while tickets along the side in lower tier block KK are the most expensive. Another Spanish-based website, ticket4football sells two tickets on the Kop for 4,347 U.S. dollars but is asking 967 U.S. dollars as a booking fee.
It's never strange for sports fans to pay big money for special games. For example, after Arsene Wenger announced his decision to leave Arsenal in the 2017-18 season, the ticket price for his last home game at the Emirates Stadium skyrocketed to 2,365 U.S. dollars. The most expensive ticket for the last game of Sir Alex Ferguson with Manchester United at the Old Trafford was worth almost 4,000 U.S. dollars. In NBA, scalpers even asked for 1.2 million U.S. dollars for two best tickets of Kobe Bryant's farewell game.
