One even saying he expects SRO to fall to around $250 and then for prices to increase incrementally from there. He basically said people are throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks at this point, and that nothing is sticking.
Again, I went to HS with 2 of these guys, so them not trying to stiff me isn't a surprise...even though it's basically what they do for a secondary income.
If you have the scratch to buy now, go ahead I guess. But if you're on a budget, I wouldn't rule out going to a game just yet.

That's typical of events like this.
KC doesn't get many marquis big events so I imagine quite a few people will buy at the current prices.
DFW gets events that sell out and have huge mark ups like this all the time. The mark ups always fall and are lowest right before the event.
