The Cubs haven't won the World Series since 1908. The Indians last won the MLB championship in 1948. If the Indians win, Cleveland will have two sports titles in the same year (The Cavs won the NBA title this year).

So whoever wins, it'll be a historic moment. 

And according to ESPN's Darren Rovell, someone paid ~$20,000 for a seat to the game.

In fact, a quick look at StubHub shows ticket prices ranging from as low as $840 to over $25,000. Here's the view you get for a ticket that costs $25,150.
