Lucky fans and some season-ticket holders got final tickets at face value or a discount. They told WRAL that their tickets were between $170 and $500, but they’re reselling at much, much more.
So it seems like this is due to scalpers - who are ruining absolutely everything unfortunately. Fucking dickheads…
Too many people decided during lockdowns that scalping was big money, and it’s been atrocious ever since.

Over a grand per ticket. Ouchie.
Geez. I was able to go to a game back in the day when the Ducks played because my mom found resale tickets. The issue? A majority of tickets were exclusive presale. The stadium box office ran out within 20 minutes.
Holy shit. Just priced out anybody with a median wage that isn’t super irresponsible with their money.
Or companies buy them and don’t use them.
Capitalism is when stadium empty /s
