This came into the commenting section from a new commenter named Roger (welcome Roger). I have not verified any of this information, and we haven’t all gotten to know Roger yet, thus use it at your own risk….but I thought it was pretty interesting and I know if post three silly videos in a row I will catch grief. So here’s a “real” post.
According to Roger:
Tip for Mets fans out there like me who already bought a 15 game ticket plan before the flex packs were offered – I had purchased two Saturday plus packages in the promenade reserved – after all fees, etc – the total price tag was $677. When the flex plans came out, I saw that had I waited just another 10 days, for $720 I could have gotten the 17+1 flex plan (which when you broke it out came to one extra marquee game and two extra value games for $43 bucks – a no-brainer even if it just meant getting an extra Yankee game and putting the tickets on stubhub). Just call the ticket office and they’ll switch your plan over for you. I gave them another $43, got my extra Yankee game, another two value throwaway games and juggled a couple of other days that were more convenient for me. They won’t advertise that they’ll let you do that if you already purchased a 15 game package – but they’ll do it if you ask.
Roger also added in the comments to the Dave Howard Gangbusters post:
To see how “gangbusters” ticket sales are… just run a mock ticket package through mets.com up to the point where you actually have to purchase the tickets. all of the new flex packs offer tickets to opening day or the subway series. Even on the cheap plans, you’re still getting tickets in sections 504, 524, 525 & 526 for the most sought after games. If tickets were “gangbusters” the marquee games would be available in 535, 536, 537 & 538. There are going to be plenty left once single game tickets go on sale.
Interesting. I’ll have to check that out when I get a chance. Welcome Roger. One more silly video coming up.
Thanks for the welcome, Shannon. When I called, they were as nice as can be. I wasn’t expecting to be able to make the change when I called, but it never hurts to ask. By switching from the Sat plan to the flex, yes, I lost a couple of the “perks” of the15 game plan (same seats, plan holder gift, guaranteed postseason game option), but the extra games and the flexibility meant more to me. I don’t expect the playoffs this year and I’d rather take my kid to a second subway series game and traded a couple of dates that worked out better with my work schedule.
Ganbusters!!!…What a bunch of crap. They are having problems even when they give games away.
They aren’t selling spring training tickets very well either.
Thats because Port St. Lucie is in the middle of nowhere. seems they’re selling it fine though, and they’ve reported positive sales for the regular season as well.
Ceetar, they also have a bridge in Brooklyn for ya… real cheap.
Yes, they allowed me to trade a 15 game plan for an 11/12 flex plan (better games to fit my schedule)…I just need to use the credit for future games.
