I’m just a fat guy in a basement, with a small brain, but here’s what I gather.
Yes, overall tickets are less expensive.
Guys like me? I think the invoice for my weekend 15 game plan upstairs will be less.
Guys like you? Many of you will choose to sit in better seats for the same amount of money you are used to spending. That’s good, right? Some of you will pay a buck or so more for a game if you don’t buy a plan. Why….
I find it surprising that Dave’s data revealed that the Promenade seats were being resold on Stubhub at great profit. Nothing makes me think Dave is a liar, and he has access to data I don’t have access to. I find that quite surprising. At a personal level, I resold OK early in the season and not so OK later in the season.
Several people picked up on Dave Howard saying “Saturday focused plan.” That makes me think that we’re heading toward 10/5 plans but when I asked Dave about it last night he left the door open that they are still working on it. In the WFAN interview Dave also mentioned an “Opener Pack.”
Francesa pointed out that the 4 tiers are kinda sorta 3 since the only games in the top are the Opener and the Yankee games. I guess…but why do I have to get jacked to attend to the opener. That annoys me. I guess they know they’ll sell those out so they jack ’em. So if the Mets win the World Series will we get jacked in 2012? I would have to guess yes.
Overall…it’s good not great.
I will renew because I like going to games with Junior. If I don’t have the tickets we’ll never go. Am I a fool? Possibly. There’s no price on memories, so I’m gonna pay the freight.
The Mets are having a good coupla weeks. It has been a while. I hope it lasts.
What do you guys think? Will you buy tickets? Seasons? Plans? Nothing?
