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.
OK, so what’s in it for them, if this is true? How do they profit from an empty seat?
Capitalism is when stadium empty /s
