there was higher demand for the shares than anticipated?

The chart at google finance displays the price was $83 on 9:30 when the volume was 0. I can understand the price rising due to higher demand but not the discrepancy in google finance chart when the volume was 0.
that's where it opened. the $45 price is where stock was bought before it started trading publicly; once the stock opened on the nyse it first changed hands at $83.
