On the Web site called Craigslist.org many fans offered trades of Bears, Bulls and Blackhawks tickets, but one posting offered a 1985 Mercedes for a set of tickets, while others offered coupons for airline tickets or theater tickets, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Monday.

On eBay, four lower deck box tickets sold for $1,400, and many other sets were for sale at similar prices.

Thursday, after clinching the AL Central title, more than 40,000 White Sox ALCS tickets were sold in less than an hour.
