Among the goals here at MP is to discuss the Mets (especially the fan perspective) but not mess the Mets up. Thus, I have this weird code of honor where I don’t share pre-sale codes or secret codes unless the Mets would like me to.
So, for discussion purposes, there is a promotion out there now (see semi-image below). As I have stated in the past, I do not in any way think the Mets are bad people for discounting tickets. We all want MORE discounted tickets, right?
However, this sort of thing is why I didn’t renew my partial plan.
My proposed solution is that if someone buys in advance and the Mets later decide to sell cheaper that the “loyal” person should be offered a similar credit for the following year. Or maybe food/merch credit. Or Skybox Day. Something. That way the Mets can sell unused inventory, like airlines do, but not leave the “loyals” feeling like someone got a better deal.
I can understand if and why the Mets do not use this suggestion, but at a personal level the net effect is you took a guy like me who had a plan for like 6 or 7 years and so far has bought zero tickets in 2015. (This specific option wouldn’t be relevant to me since I had a Saturday plan.)
I dunno, someone smarter than me can figure this out. Comments are open. Media Goon says you guys like comments.
metspolice sooooo what’s the code??
metspolice never mind. A simple google search brings you the mets site and offer.
metspolice fine print of the offer compensates STH’ers. Did u read it?

theteacherchris i did not, do tell more.
metspolice too many characters to post (not being evasive) check it out
.theteacherchris ah i see. But that keeps you in-season. Its a start, but I’d prefer to see some sort of forward push. (more..)
.theteacherchris bc in my selfish case we would run out of Saturdays. So turning in a Sat for another game didnt work bc we couldn’t go
.theteacherchris and my tix rep used to remind me i could trade in and swap games, but i rarely did for that reason
metspolice well to be frank thats on you. They aren’t taking advantage. Ive had full for 20 years. My price is already discounted off (more
metspolice box office price by 30%. Plus free ticket vouchers. 250$ meal card free -I think your post omits many of the benefits.
.theteacherchris fair point. And hard to discuss on twitter, but guests posts are welcome if you anted to write something up
metspolice sure. I actually have a VERY embarrassingly small blog about raising my sons Mets Fans. Id happily write something up about STH
.theteacherchris an old mentor taught me “perception is reality” and the Mets not clearly explaining this stuff is on them.
.theteacherchris Cool, post on yours and I will link! (or send me something whatever you prefer)
metspolice can u follow me for a second to DM? A couple things id prefer not to post. (U can unfollow me after”
theteacherchris done
HearingFreak Cant find any information, on it a link or the promo code would be huge, thanks
