BCS Championship ticket prices

What has happened here? I have no idea why there are only a few hundred left on Stubhub, and pairs are now going for 6K on Ebay.
Why is this such a hard ticket, and has anybody ever seen this before.
I have a buddy who swears the tickets will be close to face value right before kickoff or a little above, but from every single report, as well as the ticket broker stories, including Stubhub sellers backing out, it seems like the prices aren't going down.
What's the deal? And are we in unchartered waters here. I'm not sure if I can even make the trip if I have to fork out an arm and a leg for tickets.

This is a major deal for both teams. Demand is exceptionally high.
Hasn't occurred before.

What's happening is unprecedented in ticket business.
Tell your buddy there is no way in hell that tickets will drop to anywhere near face value.
Normally for a NC game there are a few thousand tickets out there. I've heard estimates into the hundreds for this game which is just ridiculous.
I think the combination of both fanbases having never been here and the size of the stadium effected the prices, or more distinctly the supply and demand.

smaller stadium than the other BCS venues + huge demand from both fanbases= sky high prices

When you sell on stubhub, the tickets have an automatic sale cut-off date, based on the date of the event, and anticipated shipping times from seller to buyer. If you noticed a huge, sudden, drop off on the availability, then that is likely what happened.
