Maybe it’s my small brain but I don’t think the total price of tickets (plans or seasons) has been posted. The individual games and tiers are posted so I guess one of us could break out a calculator (Dan, I’m looking at you) but I am too lazy.
Fortunately, Mets Police has readers.
Thanks to the nice man who sent this to me last night (let me know if you’d like a shoutout).
He has seats in the Promenade…section 5-something-teen…so that suggests Prom Res Inf (can we just call that something else next year. I’d even prefer calling it “Reese” than typing out the three long words.)
The price of a seat is $1822.50
There is also a “Service Charge” of $25. I always love that. I would love to know what the service is and if it can be avoided. If I show up at Citi Field and pay someone in cash…large bills….and drive the tickets home myself do they still charge me $25?
Could they issue the seasons via e-ticket and let me print my own?
Could I just scan a picture of a ticket off my iPhone into the barcode reader?
Surely there has to be a way not to insult us with this fee.
(I have a picture of the invoice and I’m choosing not to share it for privacy reasons.)
I think the $25 is fair. It covers the the printing (they are nice quality and done by a third party) and shipping of the tickets
Yeah, that’s why the season tickets are all pretty compared to the normally printed ones. Probably covers whatever trinket you get with it as well. It’s better than the lame $5 order fee on every purchase of tickets online.
So why not offer e-ticket?
The funny thing about the print-at-home option is most of the time if you do the print-at-home option it is more expensive fee than having them snail mail the actual tickets. This is really for the single game tickets which I usually do.
just to clarify, this is for pretty much every event not just the Mets.
The standard answer for this with the Mets is that the ticketing system is handled by a 3rd party. Not sure what TicketMaster’s excuse is since their systems are proprietary (I believe)
agree with corey. paper is apparently expensive. I almost had a heart attack when I saw how much we were spending on Wedding invitations. And then to ship a full season package the $25 doesn’t seem all the outrageous.
Where the problem comes in is whether or not they are charging the same service charge to the plan holders. Sending 15 games is far less expensive then sending 82.
They are. I was whacked when I got a 15 game plan a few years back!
