They took advantage of the coverage when this was announced, and charged some pretty outrageous prices. People crashed the ticket system, not being able to miss a chance at spending $400 for the cheapest GA ticket.

Tickets are now selling on the secondary market for 1/2 that price. The promoters even flooded the public with a large ticket release a couple of weeks back. I'm sure there were plenty of brokers or wanna be ticket brokers, who took a bath on these.
