My knowledge is of Red Sox games, and you can sell bleacher seats for $75 for goodness sake. People will pay it too. It's extremely easy to sell your sox tickets for 2 and possibly 3 times thier face value.

The Redsox stadium is smaller and they have been very good for the past several years which is probably raising demand even higher. And they are also not the best comparison since the historic venue they play in makes it a tourist attraction for everyone visiting Boston, not just Redsox fans.
There is a very high demand for Redskins tickets but a 92,000 seat stadium does a lot to curtail that demand. The problem in selling Redskins tickets is that you are always selling up against 5000 or more people, and non season ticket holders do not understand the price structure of the stadium. Row 15 and down in the upper deck is $80 but above row 15 is like $60. So what happens is that people with the real cheap tickets can mark those up much more and still make it look like they are selling them at a discount, whereas like I said in my first post I need to sell at $94 a ticket on stubhub to break even. Unless it's a big game in order to get sells I need to drop my price closer to what the top upper deck seats cost and I end up taking a loss.
