Whenever Lord Stanley's namesake trophy - very clearly the best in professional sports - is in the building, sports fans want to be there too. And they're willing to pay top dollar to be there, generally speaking.

Take the secondary ticket market for Friday night's Game 5 between the New York Rangers and the Los Angeles Kings. The prices are sky high:

The median price for tickets for tomorrow's Kings-Rangers game is $930. It's on track to be the highest selling Kings game ever on @StubHub. — Arash Markazi (@ArashMarkazi) June 13, 2014

Even in star-studded Los Angeles, the Stanley Cup is a star and a major draw.
