What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
I love when Royal Pains makes Mets references in the show. Last night it was about internet dating. The show runner is a huge Mets fan so he tries to get the Mets mentioned at least once a season.

Pretty timely after the last few posts on here about Plan holders. Looks like the Mets are listening a bit with the perks for partial plan holders. I just got this invite from my ticket rep. If they keep this up then they are moving in the right direction. Next if they can figure out a way to do something for the plan holders when they have promotions like 66% off for some games, we will be all set.
On Saturday, June 13, you are invited to join us for a “Q & A” session with Mets players and coaches at Citi Field where kids will ask the questions!
This will take place from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. prior to the Mets vs. Braves game at 4:10 p.m.
Please note: You must have a game ticket to attend this event. If you do not have a game ticket you may exchange your plan tickets for tickets to this game (more than 48 hours in advance).
A follow up e-mail will be sent with additional check in details.

YUCK!!!!
66% off of tickets for games through 6/16.
That’s great for getting the casual fan into the ball park. I get it. The Mets need to sell tickets and I am all for them doing that. But, now here’s a big but ( I like big butts and I cannot lie). What about your loyal plan holders? The season ticket/10,20,40 game holders that give the Mets their money in advance of the season? Yes, we get a discount already with the tickets because we bought early, but what about just showing a little “hey, we know you guys are sticking with us” so here is “blank” to help show that we haven’t forgotten you when we do these promotions.
“Blank” could be anything. I think blank being a $10-$15 food voucher per ticket in your plan could be the way to go. It would be super easy to send the voucher into the My Tickets Mets online account to be printed up. This can be alerted to the plan holder by email. “Hey loyal plan holder, thank you for continuing your support of the NY METS by being a plan holder. We have a discounted promotion going into effect for the next few games and we would like to give you a $10 food voucher for each ticket in your plan during these games as a thank you and as for being such a great fan”, or something like that.
It’s really not that hard Mets. Don’t piss off your plan holders just to get some extra fannies in the seats for a game or two. You can do both. You can still get the casual fan in while playing nice with your current plan holders. I personally know Five former plan holders, one of which is Shannon Shark, who won’t buy a plan anymore because they know then will get a cheaper ticket during the season. So instead of having a 10,20,40 game plan holder locked into those games, now the same guy is going to half of that for cheaper tickets.
