how is this possible???

I was waiting on the Ticketmaster site just before noon today and must have been one of the first people looking for tickets. How is it possible with no pre-sale, that there are no $35 tickets available (the ones I assume are front and center) and the best available at exactly noon when they go on sale are 3 rows from the back of the room????? Anyone else find this unbelievable?

Don't get me completely wrong, I am so happy to have tickets at all, I know how fast these things sell but how is it possible to get really good seats if you are "just" a typical fan?
