That's a ticket reseller. Those prices shown are the "list" price for tickets on their site and have nothing to do with the actual ticket prices charged by the teams.

Also, because they're the list prices of currently unsold seats, they don't relate to the price that anyone actually paid for those tickets.


I know when I had season tickets, I would often list tickets to certain high-demand games on StubHub and the Ticketmaster resale site at an outrageously high price. If they sold (which they usually didn't do), I'd gladly take the money. If they didn't sell, I'd gladly go to the game.

That's why looking at a ticket reseller's PR about "average" ticket prices is really pointless.
