This may or may not add anything to the subject at hand, but from a marketing perspective, it's also very possible that the exorbitant price of $250 is there to increase the perceived value of the ducats (nice usage, right?). If, say, a businessman was giving away complimentary tickets to an important client, that person would be quite impressed with the $250 sticker price and think, "Wow! This guy really takes care of me. I'm definitely going to keep giving my business to Joe's Purple Sticker Emporium." Sort of a sales 101 method. Something for consideration.
