Thats the MEN arena ticket site and they are showing tickets available at face price of £52 + £7 postage & handling. There is a collect from venue option so you may not pay the handling on that.

MEN arena terminated their agreement with Ticketmaster some time ago. Press release at the time it happened quoted something along the lines of offering customers the best service.

Boils down to TM are more than happy to ignore face value and sell both themselves & through other names that they use at massively inflated prices calling them "customer demand driven prices" In other words if its popular prices climb higher.

Eventim who MEN use now are part of the SMG Europe group. According to their main website their policy is face value sales with a handling fee that covers cost of printing & posting. SMG also have the deal for the new Leeds arena and so far all of the tickets for there have been the old favourite of a souvenir format & not the TM plain printed ticket.
