Anybody have $1.7 million for a pair of Twins/Braves tickets?

Amusement on Stubhub.

E-mailer William F. notes a rather odd ticket sale on Stubhub right now. Normally, the site is a nice resource to get tickets to sold out events (or prime seats) for a reasonable price. But as William notes, an upcoming Twins game features a pair of seats that aren't quite a bargain:

Some obvious comedian is selling section 319, row 10 seats (I think face is $27) for the Atlanta June 12 game for 773,626 per ticket.

Indeed, William is correct. While we agree those seats are nice and dry, that price seems a little steep. It gets even worse when you have to buy a pair of seats -- and pay the $154,725.20 service fee. Grand total on that? Around $1.7 million.
