An idea for Mets Tickets “Pick your pack” and why it won’t work

Tom had an idea:

I wish they had a “you pick what games work for you pack”. Kind of like the premium picks pack, but for 15 games in the promenade. Do it before the promotional schedule is released. And you can pick who you want to see and that’ll decide what it costs. Why don’t you just buy 15 random games you ask? To make it a package you stipulate that in order to go to Opening day or the subway series, you buy 15 games, but at least you can make it work for you, instead of being told what games you’re going to.

Tom, I get what you are saying, and in the Utopian World it might work, but the Mets are a BUSINESS (not yelling at you, yelling at everyone who forgets that this isn’t 9 kids out to hit a ball with a stick) – it’s a business that wants to make money.

Let’s look at my Saturday Plus plan.  Do you think the Mets think, “Wow, Shannon would really love to come on Thursday night!”  Nope.  I imagine someone thought, “Ugh, Thursday night against the Tigers.  We won’t draw well that night.”  So that game made the plan.  Or so my imagination thinks.

Under your plan we could all decide to go to Opening Day, some Saturdays, maybe three agianst the Phillies, screw all those April games and screw those late September games.

That really wouldn’t help the Mets.

Of course, not buying a 15 game pack at all doesn’t help the Mets either.
