I tried to get tickets to game 1 in Deroit and they were sold out with 20 mins. Ebay and the rest of the world now has tickets ranging from $500 - $12000.

Many of the ones posted by true scalpers or scalping companies they might not even have yet. They post get a price then try to find tickets to match by contacting season ticket holders, sponsors, etc.

Scalpers/Ticket agencies get their tickets a number of ways. They buy them from season ticket holders, they purchase corporate/private seats from individuals, and they work the ticket lines like you and I do. The difference is that they have many people calling/logging on for them, so they have a far better shot of scoring tickets than do you.
To me, purchasing those tickets is like a lottery. You hope you're a winner, but if not, you're out of luck unless you're willing to shell out the dollars.

What are scarpers??????? "Scalpers" get tickets from season ticket holders, media, players, or some other unscrupulous means.
