Scalpers can charge more if they'd like, but more and more people, with the Cubs encouragement, are selling (and buying) their tickets on stubhub. In most cases, tickets are sold on a declining price method, in that every day tickets listed have their prices come down, until the price meets demand. So while ticket brokers might transfer the cost of the PSL to the end user with their fixed prices, tickets bought on stubhub will reflect current demand, regardless of what the person selling the ticket paid for it.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I could be wrong, but most people that buy on StubHub don't wait until the final day of the event to complete a transaction. You're most likely describing a small % of the secondary market.
