Real! I've been looking through websites, and the prices scare me horribly.

The event makes no extra profit from resellers... only the resellers themselves make the extra money. They could've easily made a verification system for the last 3 games. It's the first and most probably only game in Canada where even USA east & west will want to come. The venue only has 4.5k seating spots. Even if LOL is bigger, they could've still managed this better.
