I live in Connecticut... but I have been on the waiting list for a while.

My point is that everyone on that waiting list would gladly pay full price for the pre-season games so the price is clearly fair-market. I'd bet teams could charge MORE for pre-season games and still sell their tickets. I am just a very capitalistic type guy and realize that they charge full price becasue they can. It does suck to have to buy the pre-season tickets at all but I would look at it like the price for everything was the price for the 8 games that matter. The other extra games are just sorta there. I am on the waiting list also but I just get scalped tickets to most games. If you do it right you can get tickets at face value or cheaper and never worry about the crap exhibitions.

My preseason tickets would be on EBay ten minutes after I got them in the mail. Clearly I'm not going to spend that kind of money if they don't care if they win the game.
