Whether driving three-wheeled Polaris Slingshots or riding actual livestock, Yoenis Cespedes’ means of travel to the ballpark know no bounds this Spring Training. The Mets’ biggest offensive bat captivated the Amazin’ faithful back in January when he inked a three-year, $75 million contract and pledged his loyalty to the blue and orange – at least for one more season.
Now that the action has kicked off at Tradition Field, fans have flocked from near and far to get their first taste of the 2016 Mets, who along with Cespedes boast what is being considered the most feared starting pitching rotation in the Majors this season. Of course, with attendance soaring at the 7,100+ cap park, there has been a considerable demand for Mets Spring Training tickets on resale outlets, and upcoming games against the divisional rival Nationals and ’06 foe St. Louis Cardinals are posting huge price points just to be on hand.
Check out what’s in store for the Mets – and fans – in terms of secondary market ticket prices below as they take up camp in Port St. Lucie through the end of the month:
3/18/16 Washington Nationals @ New York Mets | Avg. Price: $114.01 | Get-in Price: $58
Bryce Harper probably won’t be asking where his ring is after his team hobbled to the finish line last season, but the budding rivalry between the Mets and Nationals will be a focal point to watch in the N.L. East in 2016. That statement rings true for their Spring Training powwow in Port St. Lucie on March 18, which is the most expensive remaining game at Tradition Field this year. Metsvs Nationals tickets currently average $114.01 and the cheapest ticket is listed for $58.

Nearly a decade has passed since Yadier Molina’s decisive two-run home run sealed the fate of the 2006 Mets.
