Have you got your Endgame tickets yet? No?
No worries, you can get yours on Ebay for a measly cost of $500, with some opportunists selling theirs for up to $10,000.
So, if you’re lucky enough to be a golden ticket holder already it might be worth selling yours and waiting a week… Make it rain.
Have a good weekend all!
