Actually you were fooled by Seatgeek's other shady practice. These tickets were listed at $20 by the seller, (meaning $8 in fees) however Seatgeek says they are "$17" plus $11 in fees. Why would they do this to make their fees seemingly higher than they even already are? Well because by default Seatgeek displays ticket prices without fees, and this allows them to falsely display tickets cheaper (at $17, rather than $20) than they actually are, even before fees...
You can list any ticket and then click on that ticket while logged out or on another device to see that what you list a ticket for will NEVER match what it displays for a buyer, even before fees are factored in.
