I'm kind of in the same position you are in, only my friend's wedding is
taking place in southern California on June 18th. Since about 2 weeks ago
ticket prices have jumped up $150 (now $300) for me and it's only going to
get worse. I've been looking around different Airlines and the .com's but
so far Alaska Air has been the cheapest which I just went ahead and
purchased directly, bypassing the .com fees. Flights are limited and that's
when school gets out for everyone so I sincerely doubt you'll have any luck
getting tickets cheaper.
