Leicester fans say they are being priced out of chance to see team win the Premier League

Leicester fans say they are being priced out of chance to see team win the Premier League.

Leicester City have caught the imagination of football fans around the world this season after taking a seven point lead at the top of the English Premier League, just a year after being bottom of the table and favourites for relegation.

If all goes their way, they will win their first ever Premier League title during their final home game of the season against Everton.

But after tickets for the game sold out in just 90 minutes, some are now being offered for £15,000 - that is around $21,000 - on an online resale website. Fans who could not get tickets are saying they are now being priced out.
