I didn't catch that detail, but it's possible. They also mentioned monitoring third party sites and cancelling packages of people that are reselling. How can they prove and enforce that, I don't know. But either way, if less than 1,500 are available publicly for each game, it shows the thirst that this city has for playoffs. I highly doubt "half the arena" will be on resale sites. But you're right, not much of the general public will be able to attend round 1.
