can an etf, open at a price other than what the pre-market was at?

if i understand you correctly, you are noticing that a stock's price can change drastically when the time changes from pre-market trading hours to open market hours. this could occur because a much smaller pool of investors make trades during pre-market and after-market hours. when the regular market opens there is a large influx of trades, causing the prices to jump.
