In a winner take all event like the NFL playoffs, it makes sense prices are high from a business perspective. This is nothing more than indefensible gouging at its finest. As a team and league, you can still charge a premium (which I fully expect them to do), but you don't need to be dicks about it.
In the first round, I expected pricing more inline with reality (and the economy), especially out of a team crying the blues about public support for a new building. Rest assured, your supply and demand sympathy will lead fans right to regular season pricing not far off of this once a new building is finally erected.

It's supply and demand. They have a product, and have a right to charge what it is worth.
You're NOT okay with that, but you ARE okay with some other dude flipping the tickets (to the same end price) and gaining free profit off someone else's product?
I am going to go out on a limb and guess that you don't have a business of your own.
