The Rays will start selling spring training tickets this week, with three different on-sale dates.

There is a pre-sale on Thursday for Rays insiders members, an online only sale Friday and general sale starting Saturday.

However, the Rays are selling spring tickets now, for a premium.

On raysbaseball.com, the team is hosting an early access pre-sale in which tickets are available for $10 more apiece.

This pre-sale is different than the Rays Insiders pre-same that starts on Thursday, and according to the web site is limited to 2,000 tickets per game, with a limit of four per purchase. Also, the best seats, the field boxes, are marked as sold out.

These tickets are available now through Friday for $18-37 (plus the ticketmaster fees).

For the Insider pre-sale, online sale and general sale, tickets are $8-27.

Here is the team release with the details:
