They're a ticket reseller. They're counting on people who get tickets selling them to them so they can resell them. They don't have access to tickets directly.
If you want tickets to the FREE events, contact your Congressman's and Senators' offices. There will not be many tickets for the balls, even through resellers. Tickets go to big donors and honoraries first, and that list will exhaust the supply. With the size and scope of Obama's campaign, there will be people who were high-dollar-givers and heavily involved that may not even get tickets. I was involved in '92 and it was similar with the excitement around the Clinton/Gore win; the list of donors who had to be called and told why they would NOT get tickets was ridiculously long. He's right that some of the "smaller" balls might be easier to get tickets to, but they are usually not released until the last minute. So if they manage to get their hands on tickets, they will be rare and EXTREMELY overpriced.
