The Laver Cup ticket is set to be the most in-demand tennis ticket this month soon after Federer's retirement announcement last week. However, a recent revelation of some of the prices for the 2022 Laver Cup tickets has left tennis fans shocked.

In a post on Twitter, journalist Jon Wertheim shared some of the listings for tickets for the event to be held at the O2 Arena in London. Single ticket prices range from £26,000 to as high as £45,000, according to Wertheim's post.

Tennis fans were taken aback by such exorbitant prices, and while many expressed their sheer disbelief, others had some humorous takes on the ticket prices.

"For this price I hope Rafa brings you to your place in his arms," one fan tweeted.
