I always laugh when people especially the media quotes the highest price stub hub etc for ticket prices. That ticket is not going to sell at that price. How many tickets have been sold at face value especially here on this list.
Same with the twins for April 8th. There has not been fewer than 4,000 tickets listed on stub hub since the twins put individual tickets on sale and sold them out at face value. If the prices were reasonable I would buy 3. I am sure I would not be the only one. Yet people still ask for 2 or 3 times face value for tickets and they sit there unsold.

Earlier today I did a quick look at Craigslist, Stub Hub and Ticket King
for full session tickets. The cheapest I found was $450, with someone
asking $2500 for one club level seat.
