Exact same experience here.
Maybe a good compromise is that for playoffs, the CP ticket exchange is allowed to list prices at 25% (or whatever the commission % is from stub hub) over face. This way we still get the simple and easy transactions that CP provides, it's a fair price with a cap, and resale sites don't profit from us.
