Tickets aren't on sale for any of the concerts yet. You can keep an eye on the tourography for ticket status and on sale dates.

Tickets listed on these sites are ridiculously expensive!?!

The 46$ seat for the NJ show (from ticketmaster) is listed between $170-$190 on these sites.

Edit:

I'm gonna go out on a limb and these sites are NOT legit. Stay away is my advice.

How on earth can ticket liquidator sites have tickets for sale before tickets GO on sale?
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

I didn't look at every site, but they look like ticket brokers. As for how they got tickets early, I bet they won't tell you, but they probably have a vast network of promotors, contacts, and insiders that sell them the tickets early. As for whether they're real, as with any business, check with the better business bureau or look online for experiences from people who have ordered from them in the past.

One thing for sure, you will pay much more for your tickets if you buy from a ticket broker, because they mark up the ticket prices to cover their expenses and make a profit. For example, I saw some prices on some of the sites that were 3-4 times what I paid for tickets last year at the same venue.
