In the end of the day it's about supply and demand.
The Hawks seats 19,700.
The Cubs seat 41,268.
There's a finite number of people that can afford+have the desire to drop 4 figures per seat.

Reports indicate (via TicketCity.com) that fans are already bidding as high as $2,000 per ticket for standing room only. An unbelievable $2,000 just to stand at the ball park! If you think that’s crazy, how about the price war for box seats near the batter box or Cubs’ dugout? Those start at a cool $26,000 per ticket. Yes, that is $26,000, not $2,600! If there is a Game 5, those same seats are going for up to $35,000 per ticket. One report from the Chicago Sun-Times indicates that a Cubs ticket has been listed online for one million dollars.
