Tickets for Arsene Wenger's final Premier League game in charge of Arsenal at the Emirates stadium are selling for £1,800 each.
Arsenal host Burnley as Wenger, who ends his 22-year reign at the club this summer, will take to the home dugout for the last time on Sunday, and the sold-out fixture has some fans desperately trying to source tickets.
The Burnley game is a Category C fixture - the lowest of three tiers in Arsenal's official Premier League ticketing structure - with prices ranging from £26 to £38.50.
The club's official website crashed in the moments after Wenger announced he would be leaving last month as Arsenal fans tried to buy the final remaining tickets for the match.
Ticketbis, a secondary ticketing online market, claims to have a range of seats available from £143 to £1,800.
The most expensive tickets are being advertised in the lower tier of the East and West Stands at the Emirates Stadium, which would normally sell for just £28.50. The ticketing website also claims prices for the match are increasing. Arsenal fans with tickets who are club members can officially sell their tickets to other embers via the club's Ticket Exchange system.
Tickets for Sir Alex Ferguson's final match in charge of Manchester United also changed hands for eye-watering sums. A seat for United's game against Swansea at Old Trafford in 2013, the Scot's last of his 27-year tenure, was reportedly advertised for nearly £3,000.
Arsenal face Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Europa League semi-final in Madrid on Thursday night, as Wenger seeks to reach the final in Lyon on May 16. The two teams drew 1-1 at the Emirates in the first leg after Antoine Griezmann cancelled out Alexandre Lacazette's opener.
Salzburg host Marseille in the other Europa League semi-final with the Ligue 1 side holding a 2-0 advantage from the first leg. Winners of the competition automatically qualify for next season's Champions League.
