Thanks to NBC New York’s website for the link and mention.
The New York Times reports this morning, well after Mets Police reported it in a post we’re sorry we missed, that the Mets are now selling those tickets with a warning. “View: Limited portions of the playing field may not be visible from this seat location.â€
It’s nice to see this stuff getting out in the mainstream. Â I still would like to see an updated quote from Dave Howard.
Thanks to all who send stuff in ([email protected])!
The next step should be discounted prices for these limited view seats. Limited views should equal discounted pricing.
I have read this website several times a day, as well as other mets blogs sites, and of course I’ve listened to WFAN day in and day out for weeks now in anticipation for the upcoming season. I’ve honestly gotten to a point where I can just no longer stand reading most of the arrogant posts and comments that “mets fans” have. How can any of you call yourselves mets fans when clearly you have a problem with every single thing about the mets? Every day there are new posts or stories about how terrible citi field is, or the name of it, or how bad our front office is, or how ugly the black back drop on the uniform is, or ticket prices, or how bad our minor league teams are, or how they go about selling there tickets through presales and such. I just want someone to explain to me how people can literally hate everything surrounding the mets organization but still call themselves mets fans. All the crying, all the complaining, all the whining and yet you people can still pretend your the biggest mets supporters alive. Its unreal. I can’t wait until the mets get going this year. I expect them to come out and win 30 games before they lose 15. I cant wait until that day because I know come that day all of you people will all of a sudden be true fans again. Its truly disgusting.
Only took em about a year. I’m surprised the Yankees took so much flack for their bleachers fiasco, yet the Met’s got nothing. The Yankees discounted every single one of those tickets to $5…did the Mets?
The Yankee bleachers are amazing. It’s not like there is plexiglass blocking the batter, there’s a building that stops you from seeing half the field. I will tell you though that if you have bleachers down low and to the right (last year $12) that they are one of the great bargains in NY sports.
If you sit low in new Yankee it’s ok, if you sit upstairs it’s awful.
I don’t like Yankee Stadium at all. It has some nice features, and you’re right, those bleacher corners are probably pretty good if you’re away from the steakhouse. (no seat backs though..) But really it’s just a sales pitch with a baseball game. It’s like going to a timeshare demonstration.
