The early market was overhyped, and the brokers priced most folks out. It has crashed in the past 2 weeks and is not too far over face. The exact opposite of Derby tickets this year.

A friend of mine bought two tickets through normal channels for Friday and Saturday, paid $900. He sold them for $3000 on Stubhub, which, after commission, netted him $2700. Can't beat 2-1....

Two-day General Admission tickets are selling for as little as $120 at StubHub. I counted over 30 available at under $160.

There are some on eBay, but nobody seems to be buying. Buyers may be waiting to see how desperate the sellers will get as we get closer to the event.
