There was no wait at all until 10:25, when a line of just eight people formed. No one camped out overnight like years past; no one spent hours waiting.
….
A Mets’ ticket seller told The Record that online and phone sales — which began Monday — make a wait at the ballpark obsolete.
“The phones were ringing non-stop [Monday],” said the employee, who did not want to be identified. “I was taking one call after another till we closed.”

I wouldn’t expect a huge line in the age of the internet.
The article does say that team has no comment on sales.
The lines to use the phone booth afterwards were nonexistent.
Apparently the employee was new. There has always been somewhat of a line because the Mets typically make a spectacle of the day.
Regardless, tickets could be easily had for any game when they wen onsale online so that’s more of a tell than someone saying the phones were ringing all day long.
Lastly, according to the Bergen Record, “Tickets went on sale at Citi Field, but few fans showed up.” Newsday says, at times, reporters and photographers outnumbered the customers.
NICE!
