More insight into Mets partial ticket plans

We are listening, we’re hearing what our fans are saying, and we’re trying to be responsive as we can.

Those are the words of Dave Howard.  I’ve quoted him before when I didn’t agree with the quote, so I will quote him here when I think the quote is awesome.

Amazin’ Avenue has done a great job transcribing the entire call with Dave Howard.  Here’s my exchange.

Shannon SharkMets Police: Is there anything you can tell us yet about the partial plans?

DH: I can tell you that we’re hearing what our fans and customers are saying. I think you’ve seen that in the news we announced today, and then probably the one element of we’ve announced today is club access. We’ve been hearing since we opened Citi Field that season ticket holders felt strongly that, regardless of where they’re sitting, they should have access to the clubs, and we’ve granted that going into 2012.

I think we’ve made several modifications to the plans in response to what we’ve been hearing from plan customers. Last season, in particular with regard to increases of flexibility, being more pure in terms of what fans want, in terms of Saturdays, Fridays, and weekend plans and things of that nature without adding some of those games. We had changed some of that flexibility. We’ll continue to be looking to do that and more. We’ll have specific announcements about plans in a couple of weeks, probably early November.

We are listening, we’re hearing what our fans are saying, and we’re trying to be responsive as we can.
