I had budgeted (not really) but planned to spend about $5K for two tickets if we had made it. That would not even get me one.
Ticketmaster charges 10 or 15 % to both buyer and seller... so imagine selling just 1000 tickets at 6K each generates 1.5 Million

A company paid $200,000 for a block of 40 tickets on the Patriots' side by the 30-yard line last Thursday. The company was offered $600,000 to sell those tickets Thursday, according to a source with knowledge of the offer.
Something definitely wrong here.
