Flushing, NY (NY Mets) -- The New York Mets today announced across the board decreases in the price of Season Tickets for the 2010 season at Citi Field with no increase in the price of any ticket next year.
The average ticket price on a full-season basis will drop by more than 10 percent with reductions in select locations in excess of 20 percent. Every Season Ticket Holder will see a decrease in their invoice for next season.
The price of the least expensive seat will remain at $11.
"The Mets are sensitive to the economic realities facing our fans and we have lowered our ticket prices in response to these challenging conditions," said Dave Howard, Executive Vice President, Business Operations. "This move underscores our appreciation of our fans’ ongoing loyalty and support. We are committed to delivering exceptional service and value to our customers at Citi Field in 2010."
Average Ticket Price Will Decrease More Than 10%;
Ticket Prices in Select Locations to Fall More Than 20%
2010 Season Ticket Holder Invoices to be Less Than 2009
I hope they go back to the 8 packs. I bought a 15 ticket package because that was the smallest available.

Whatever
Dave Howard is a crook amongst crooks. So they are "sensitive to the economic realities..." facing the fans? How about being sensitive to the mental realities affecting ownership and general management? Wake up and clean house! Or sell the house!

Still a ripoff
All pro sports tickets are egregiously overpriced. Players are ridculously overpaid and underserving of the lifestyles they are afforded.
It looks like Jenrry Mejia will finally get the back-to-back action that has been promised for him. Mejia is now scheduled to pitch against the Nationals in Viera on Monday and follow that with an outing against the Braves on Tuesday in Port St. Lucie. Mejia has not pitched since Friday.
It looked like it was going to be another night with little offense for the Mets, but then the long ball (what?) – two 2-run homers – and they rallied for a 5-2 win over the Marlins in Jupiter.
Quick capsule on St. Paddy’s Day game at the Red Sox…..
Mike Pelfrey very sharp. 4 innings – 4 hits – 1 run – 0 walks – 2 strikeouts. 66 pitches – 44 strikes. The only run Pelfrey allowed came on a tailing liner by Dustin Pedroia that should have been caught for the 3rd out by Alex Cora, but it ticked off his glove.
Anderson Hernandez hit the 6,000th home run in Mets' history in the first game of the day-night doubleheader in Philadelphia this past Sunday. Here are some of the other all-time milestone homers for the Mets:
Permit me this indulgence as I begin the post All Star break period. The tiny bit of vacation that I had adjacent to the break allowed for a brief vacation, and at my wife's behest we spent a few days in London.
Sitting here in a dank, bleak hotel room in Baltimore, watching the rain come down, makes me wonder just exactly why it is that we're here. That's WE, as in the entire Mets traveling party, not just me.
In an interview, I once asked Hall of Fame broadcaster Jack Buck what sport was his favorite to broadcast? Without any hesitiation he replied, " winning baseball". I asked the inevitable follow up question, which sport is your least favorite? Jack answered, " losing baseball".
Baseball isn't just about the games being played, scrutinized, argued, and judged.. It's about the people who play it. I learned a long time ago that criticism is as common an element to the game as a bat and a ball.
