Final pre-season game rant

[SKINSnCANES]

Of course people are willing to pay full price for preseason, hence we are sold out for like the next 20 years already. That doesnt make it right though, or that we shouldnt get somethign else.

Who here has been to both homegames, did they give out anything free at teh game. At the fins game they gave everyone those car coffee cups, the 20 oz plastic cups. A nice free treat.
I think last year we got a free flag, not sure if it was preseason or regular though. Snyder has dimished on the free giveaways since he took over, or so i noticed

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.

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.

I've been to both games. Nothing free and the halftime entertainment has changed over the years, They make it so bad that everyone leaves their seats and goes an purchases product. Preseason should be half price or like it was 10 years ago it would be season ticket holders option to purchase.
