1. The District Attorney Posted: November 20, 2012 at 04:25 PM (#4307015)I don't know if it's going to work or not but I'll say this; I attended the 1999 All Star Game at Fenway and it was an amazing experience. There was a lot of star power in that game and the pregame stuff with the All Century team, particularly Williams, was a rarity but if any Met fans are debating taking a shot, I'd say go for it.
I don't know if it will be a big deal in NY, but in KC single tickets were going for $400-500 for the game. I went to the Futures Game/Celeb game (which is waaaaay cheaper), but passed up the ASG, and I really regret passing it up.
I hope this is held within walking distance of Cityfield.
Maybe the price of the All-star game is mandated by the league and/or the Mets have to share ticket revenue from the game. This would be a way for the Mets to grab a slice of the actual market value of the tickets which they otherwise might not receive.
Aren't ticket sales for baseball games pretty much purely about the demand? There's not a lot the Mets can do about their supply of seats at this point (either by building new seating or having more regular season games at home).
Citi Field All-Star Fan Fest will be within walking distance of Citi Field. It will feature a tour of auto body shops throughout the ages. Also, vendors selling auto parts (many of which will also be too small for your head).
"here's the tomato surprise"
"but, there's no tomatoes"
"that's the surprise"
Man, I am so sick of rooting for a team owned by morons.
Yep, that sounds about right. All so the 2013 season can be just as joyous for Mets fans as the 2012 season.
Reyes was a bit of a different case because he was a significant question mark going into his walk year, so the Mets really had to start the season with him. But in Wright and Dickey, the Mets have two guys whose past performance has been, let's say, variable. But they are coming off great years at the moment, and their value is high as it can be. If the Mets don't want to sign them because their value and price are high, they're also not going to want to sign them in July if their performance tanks and their value/price decreases. If they're playing great in July, their price will be higher but their value in trade will be lower as a rental. This is the time to fish or cut bait. I have to believe Alderson & Co. know this. I also believe that the Wilpons are so stupid that they think it is some sort of fantastical noble deed keeping them in a Mets uniform for an extra meaningless year.
Upon re-reading the article, I don't think the opening-day price increase is tied to the chance to buy ASG tickets, although I can see why the last paragraph might be construed as saying that it does.
I'm waiting for the day when I can buy an option to put down a non-refundable deposit for the chance to buy a Personal Seat License.
You almost made the Angel Moroni cry.
