So tickets CAN BE 56% cheaper when the Mets want them to….but they are only going to do it if Murphy gets a hit and the NL wins.
If Murph doesn’t get a hit then the Mets will just charge you a price they are telling you they apparently can live without.
No pressure Dan.
I know what the Mets tried to do here…but did they was reveal how much their ticket margin is or that they really really like Murph and don’t mind taking a bath on tickets to support him.
The bold below is mine.

So…if Murph does not get a hit, tickets will be more than they apparently could be.
If the AL wins, tickets will be more than they apparently could be.
They should actually raise prices 28% if Murph doesn’t get a hit and the AL wins.
