There’s something about Groupon that makes people want me to make fun of the Mets. I mean, I guess, LOLMets aren’t sold out….
…but let’s look at it from our standpoint. Don’t we want cheap tickets?
The flip side is it teaches us not to buy tickets in advance because some Grouponer will get a better deal.
One of the Groupon dates is 4/26. Hey, I have tickets for that night (the Mets have decided we like to be cold in April). The face on my seats up in 514 are $36. Thirty-six.
Now I probably got some bundle discount…let’s say the Mets discounted me 25% (it was probably more like 10% but they will get mad at this post anyway and correct me.) Let’s assume for shtick and giggles that I paid $27 for my $36ers.
So what would $27 get me..
So roughly a corner seat on the lower bowl. I might like that more or less than right behind home plate upstairs. But the lesson once again becomes buying in advance gets you what again?
Anyway, Groupon away. Don’t let bizarre ticket strategies (the ones where you punish the most loyal) take away from the fact that your son wants to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon frigid cold April night with you. Why is this game at 7pm?
