Getting a chance to witness Canada's best shot at winning the Stanley Cup since 1993 ain't gonna come cheap.

If you're hoping to get your hands on tickets to see the Vancouver Canucks take on the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals, be prepared to shell out a big chunk of change. Season-ticket holders in Vancouver are charging as much as $2,000 per ticket through online resale sites such as StubHub, which said that this is the most expensive NHL final it has ever seen. Tickets for the general public will go on sale today in Vancouver, and they're expected to sell out in minutes. After those are gone, the exorbitantly marked-up tickets on resale sites will be fans' only option. Fans living in the East, however, might be a little more lucky – ticket website FanSnap says while the average price for tickets in Vancouver is about $1,900, the average price for seats in Boston is $1,100.
