Although there are currently very few bids (probably due to the fact that tickets won't actually be distributed until Sunday,) there are already tons of auctions for tickets up on eBay, ranging from $.01 to $10,000. Not sure what security measures AEG will put in place, but they predicted this and will attempt to stop the scalpers from selling tickets.
