Sox: hot or not?

As I wrote earlier this year, the demand for Sox tickets makes getting into Fenway a tough thing to do, to the point where fans head out of town to try to see their favorite team.
That is, unless you win 95 games, beat what was tabbed as the best team in the American League during the ALDS, and then drop three in a row to a hot bunch of upstarts.
The Boston Globe reports:
At the Allston headquarters of Ace Ticket, there's evidence of something strangely out of whack in Red Sox Nation: Tickets to playoff games at Fenway are selling barely above face value, and sometimes less.
