The number of tickets sold on the secondary market has surged by 25% year over year, while the prices of those tickets have also increased. 
 

Logitix compiled data from sold tickets via multiple ticket marketplaces, which reveals the following key insights across the entire tournament (price listed is per ticket for individual sessions, not including fees):
