"So another word about tickets. They did finally announce single-game tickets were going on sale, but only for games though June. It's not enough to keep season plans limited to those requiring fans to buy more tickets than they can use, feeding the secondary markets which the Mets also get a cut of, but "make-your-own-plan" fans like me who've reliably occupied seats for decades,"
"Anyway, I tried what Stu suggested and bought a few games in the secondary market, and the rest we can try to buy (through June anyway) when the window opens on Thursday. I paid a few bucks above face value on these tickets and part of that goes right back to the Mets who essentially get to sell the same ticket twice, depending on demand."
"Oh, and they're having a presale this weekend on single-game tickets, but only if you have a Citi credit card. I went and applied for one, got approved in like 5 seconds but they won't release the account number and code until the card gets here in a few business days. Too late. I also saw where they raised parking fees for non-season ticket holders to $50."
Single-game tickets are being sold only for games through June, pushing many fans toward secondary-market purchases that still funnel fees back to the Mets. Some fans bought a few games above face value on resale and will try to buy additional June games when the window opens. A Citi credit-card presale requires receipt of the physical card before using the presale code, delaying access for late applicants. Parking for non-season ticket holders has been raised to $50, encouraging public transit use. Early roster indicators show Luis Robert at No. 88, Freddy Peralta No. 51, Tobias Myers No. 32, and Craig Kimbrel currently non-roster.
