My brother in law showed me a letter from the Mets which says many words including
As mentioned in your 2011 renewal invoice letter, a limited number of Ticket Plan Holders saw a modest increase on their total invoice account. To ensure that every renewing Ticket Plan Holder pays no more than last season, enclosed is your Citi Field gift card equal to the amount of any increase in your invoice from 2010.
Now that’s cool.
I laugh at the phrasing there, as if it was the government deciding to raise the Mets ticket prices, or something beyond their control. If they wanted to ensure that no one paid more than last year, all they had to do was not raise prices.
