At a very expensive price

Hi

Is this phrase natural English?

They were selling the tickets at a very expensive price.

Thanks,

Tom

It is a common kind of error, a bit like saying that the temperature is hot. The tickets may be expensive, but a price cannot itself be expensive. A price can be high or low.
