If you want to watch Canada play Russia for the 2015 world junior hockey championship on Monday evening, make sure your credit-card limit is in good shape.

Tickets for the game at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto were going for as much as $5,900 by mid-afternoon Monday on StubHub.com, one of the most popular ticket resellers. The $5,900 seats were eight rows from the ice. Since the game was officially a sellout, there were no tickets available through the regular channels. The cheapest ticket listed on StubHub was for $310, which would get you standing room in the upper balcony.

But even those prices did not seem to be dissuading buyers, as StubHub listed just 314 tickets left by mid-afternoon on Monday.

Prices were considerably better for the bronze-medal game Monday afternoon between Slovakia and Sweden. Fans could buy tickets for as low as $9.44 on StubHub. But seats close to the ice surface were going for as much as $1,536.66.

There were some tickets available for the bronze-medal game through Ticketmaster.ca at regular prices, which ranged from $94.75 to $347. No tickets for the gold-medal game were available on Ticketmaster.

Ticket prices have been an issue throughout the world junior tournament, as NHL prices were charged for junior hockey.

The Canadian team's games in the round-robin part of the tournament were played at the 21,273-seat Bell Centre in Montreal, which did not see any sellouts as the fans voted with their wallets. Prices for the Canadian games ranged from $66 to a high of $336 for the New Year's Eve game against the United States.

International Ice Hockey Federation president Rene Fasel blamed ticket prices for the attendance in Montreal and then pointed a finger at Hockey Canada, the host organizer. None of the games in Montreal were sold out.

"I was really surprised," Fasel told reporters on Sunday. "If you would do this pricing in Europe, you would have nobody in the arena. "Hockey Canada decides the prices of the tickets, not us."

Hockey Canada will not comment on ticket prices until the end of the tournament.

Most of the tickets sold in Toronto were package deals. Prices for the 19 games in Toronto were between $626 and $1,746. The average attendance in Toronto was expected to be about 14,000 without Canada for the early games and between 9,720 and 15,000 for Montreal, according to Fasel.

The Canada-Denmark quarter-final game on Friday night at the Air Canada Centre drew 18,448 fans, just below capacity. There were even fewer fans, 18,002, for the semi-final win Sunday at the ACC over Slovakia.
