From what I read,  the Chargers ticket prices are 10th in the NFL in terms most expensive.   The vast majority of the tickets for the Chargers home opener against the Dolphins were sold.   The ticket issue they likely will have in their 3 year stay at Stub Hub Center from a competitive standpoint is opposing fans are going to end up with a high % of the tickets.   This will especially be the case this season when the Chargers host the Broncos and even more so against the Raiders.   Last year in San Diego,  Raiders fans were around 85 % at the game between the two teams.   It might even be a higher number this season.

Wow that is a crazy price point for an already tough sell but I suppose they expect opposing teams fans to foot the bill for quite a few games.  I expect that stadium to be packed full of Raiders fans when the time comes.

I saw some pictures from the game against the Dolphins and it looked like a lot of Dolphin fans were present and that's a team that is on the opposite side of the country. 

How the NFL failed to let the Raiders move into LA is beyond me.
