re: When do Tickets go on sale to the public?

In part I think of my season tickets as a civic investment which is why I generally haven't worried about game attendance and making a profit. If I can go I go, if not I give them away. That said I have relatively inexpensive balcony seats.

That said I do see playoff priority as an important perk, especially when sitting through the random Tuesday night Hawks, Mavs, Suns game where you can't even give away those tickets.
