Cancellation Lines - Ticket Prices#0

If some ticket brokers are selling premium seating (for example: $250 each, 2 tickets Row D), and those don't get sold, do they go to the cancellation line? I know the cancellation line doesn't mean you get discounted tickets, but have to pay the full price, so would you pay $100 for each ticket, since that is the price you would normally pay if you bought them at the box office, or would you pay the $250 each that the ticket broker intended to sell them for?

my understanding is they get returned to the house for sale at face (or the $100) value...

You would pay the same price you would normally pay at the box office (in this case, $100). So if a broker could not sell the ticket for $250, and it got returned to the box office, you could pick it up for face value.
