Oh, man. Good luck with that.

Before Google came in and made everyone stop selling text ads on our  
blogs/websites, I heard from about every ticket vendor around.

Stubhub, Ticket City, Sold Out Events, Ticket Express, Vivid Seats,  
Ticket Liquidator... you name it.

I don't know if one of them is any better than another when it comes  
to pricing, and they're all going to make money off these things. You  
kind of answer your own question when you point out the ticket sites  
have better tickets - it's because they buy a crapload of them right  
away and ratchet them up.

Now, what to do about it.....   I'd guess you wait, and see if the  
game sells out, and then try to get a low cost ticket as they dump  
them, the "I just want to be there" approach. Or you save your money  
and shell out $$$ and save the US economy, you consumer you!
