Should be. But then they would just raise the reg season games to make up for it and the total for the season would come out the same.

i wasn't even distinguishing between the experience of watching a game manager slowly suck the life out of your team and eating cashews and drinking Mr. Pibb to be honest
you do enough of the latter and you're going to get diabetes, so both have a roughly equal ratio of cost/negative return on your investment this is why i've been to one Chiefs game in the last five years, and don't drink full-sugar sodas everything in moderation

I completely agree, and suspect that most of the world does. I guess when you think about it, though, it costs the team/league just as much to operate a preseason game as a regular season game. This tells me that they're running on a "cost plus" pricing system instead of a market-based pricing system. They're probably setting a profit margin and pricing accordingly, and apparently it works.

If you are buying a season ticket package, it doesn't really matter what they price each game at, does it? The season total is the same. They could charge 5 bucks for the preseason, and then just up the price of the other games to come out at the same price.
Like the Royals. The "face value" price of the Yankees and Cardinals games might be $60 and the price of a weekday Twins game $30. But if you're buying the season, what does it really matter if they price it like that or just charge you $45 per game? |

George, once you grow tired of going to games, do you have the right to pass those seats on to someone else of your choosing or once you give them up, do they go back to the team to decide what to do with them?

But yeah, if he goes to all the games, it wouldn't really matter. |

Yeah, pro sports teams certainly do have their city by the balls in that regard... seems like a lot of fans are giving them up though, and cities might even be wising up a tiny bit when it comes to giving millionaires millions of dollars in tax money to build new stadiums.
In the meantime though, even if it's too hard to give up the rights, there are still idiots out there willing to pay the price of half a season or more for a single game... and at worse, you give up the rights and then become that idiot who overpays for really good seats the one or two times per season there's actually a decent matchup, and still save quite a bit. A few solutions to a pretty easy "problem". What the Utah Jazz's ownership did recently seemed relatively impressive (at least what I read of it)... granted, they're still asking for some public money, at least they made an effort to keep the team in SLC, while any profits get put back into the team. It's almost like they care about the city or something.
