Corey sent this over. Â Despite what some of y’all may think, I like hearing positive stories:
Just got my tickets from the Mets for donating blood at the blood drive. (Also got my season ticket package today)
For the blood drive tix, they gave me a choice of several midweek games in April and you had to give give a 1st, 2nd, & 3rd choice. My top 2 choices were vs LA and the 3rd was vs the Cubs. I got tickets for the Dodgers (don’t remember if the game I got was choice #1 or #2) but they were Baseline Box ($48 each for this bronze game) down towards the LF corner.
You’ll probably turn this into a “Mets can’t sell tickets” post. But regardless if they could sell them or not, I think its a very nice gesture to give decent comp tickets (against a playoff team) when they could easily have given cheapo seats in the Promenade outfield.
In a follow-up email Corey added:
I just want to add that they probably can write off more $ by giving out higher priced tickets.
Over on Baseball Fever a few blood and/or coat donors all got Baseline Box, Field Box, or Caesars Club Bronze tickets.
I also have some very positive stories to share about my ticket rep and the process of changing my seats this year.
Corey thanks for sharing this. Â I think it’s great that you were offered decent seats! Â I’d actually love to get more positive news out there. Â Guest posts welcome at shannon@metspolice.com
That’s awesome. Good job by the Mets! Enjoy the game.
I’ve never given blood, but I’ve been thinking I should/would, and I know the Mets did/do this so I figured I’d wait until I heard about one and do it. But it sounds like they just did it at Citi Field on a weekday and I couldn’t get there to do it at that time.
