Ticketmaster lists the tickets as $63, plus $5.25 their fees, so where does the rest of $11.65 go? Is there any place where I can buy a ticket for its actual value ($51.35)?

The 51.35 doesn't include the 2% Facility Fee that goes to the Saddledome, or 5% GST on the whole amount. (VAT)
Those fees are disclosed here:

Right under the "Section Prices" heading.
As for buying tickets at face value, your best bet is probably the ticket exchange forum of this site.
