Tickets to have dinner with Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge sell for £22,230.
Members of the public have reportedly paid thousands of pounds for the chance to dine with the royal couple, both 32, at the Brooklyn Nets v Cleveland Cavaliers basketball match.
The match takes place tomorrow night (09.12.14) at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, New York. The venue can hold up to 17,732 spectators who will undoubtedly be hoping to catch a glimpse of the British royals.
Plenty of stars are also planning to attend the match, including showbiz power couple Beyonce Knowles and Jay Z.
Cleveland Cavaliers player LeBron James has revealed he was "honoured" to play in front of the Duke and Duchess.
He told ESPN: "It's a huge honour. The stuff that you read about, people like them are only in books growing up. And to hear that they're coming to town to see me play and they want to see me do what I do best, it's a huge honour.
"Well I've had people from all across the board as far as stature, but the President of the United States, that was pretty huge.
"To have those two, to say they were travelling here and one of the things that they wanted to do was see me play, it's a pretty big deal in my household."
The Duke and Duchess will also have an audience with 'Saving Mr Banks' actor Tom Hanks at a gala dinner to celebrate the 600th anniversary of St Andrews university - where Catherine and Prince William first met and fell in love.

Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be protected by a S.W.A.T team during their visit to New York.
The royal couple - who arrived in America on Sunday (07.12,14) - will reportedly be under constant surveillance for the duration of their stay to protect them from a "flash mob".
According to reports, the New York police department are worried about an incident occurring, following a 600-strong riot in the city after a grand jury decided to not prosecute a police officer who killed father-of-six Eric Garner, 43, with a choke hold.
A spokesman for the NYPD confirmed: "[There will be] heightened security."
While John Miller, a former police officer turned private consultant who is not involved in the operation, shared his thoughts on the matter.
He told the Daily Star newspaper how he expects the couple will be followed by a S.W.A.T (Special Weapons and Tactics) van for maximum safety.
John said: "They probably won't ever realise how closely they are being watched.
"[A van will be] discreetly parked down a side street in their armoured truck, probably never more than a couple of hundred yards away."
Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Cambridge, 32, - who is expecting her second child - will reportedly remain at their £9,580-a-night room in the Carlyle hotel, while her husband, also 32, meets with US President Barack Obama.
The couple will leave their 16-month-old son Prince George at home in England with his nanny Maria Borrallo.

Barbara Windsor will return to 'EastEnders' for the show's 30th anniversary.
The 77-year-old actress will reprise her role as iconic former Queen Vic landlady Peggy Mitchell on the BBC One soap for a single episode next year to celebrate the show's big milestone.
Speaking of her return, she said "I am absolutely thrilled that Peggy has been included in the celebrations to mark the 30th anniversary of 'EastEnders'. What an incredible achievement for all the production, cast and crew, past and present".
The star began playing the Mitchell family matriarch in 1994 but left the show in September 2010 in order to spend more time with her husband, Scott Mitchell, who she married in 2000.
However, the 'Carry On' actress has returned for cameo appearances since her departure, including a surprise appearance in September in the lead up to her on-screen son Phil Mitchell's (Steve McFadden) ill-fated wedding to Sharon Mitchell (Letitia Dean).
The show - which first aired on February 19 1985 - will celebrate its 30th year with a 30-minute live episode, as well as several live scenes in the other episodes of that week in which several major storylines will culminate.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz last month, the actress also hinted co-star Pam St. Clement may play a part in the anniversary celebrations, despite the fact her character Pat Butcher passed away in 2012.
When asked if she would be returning, she teased: "Yeah, of course! I'll be right in there, won't I! It'll be lovely to see everyone, and I spoke to Pam yesterday, Pam St. Clement, and she's going and we're going to do a little something."
