Updated New York Mets Ticket Pre-sale Information

There’s a Mets Police superfan named Peter who should just start his own blog and put me out of business. Peter hooks me up left and right and I’m going to have to buy him a Shake or something at a game. Once again he delivered with a tip regarding the below.

As promised, here’s some more pre-sale information (shhhh don’t tell anyone, Mets presales are a secret and if the Mets don’t tell anyone the dopey blogger won’t find out):

– full season ticket holders have a presale at 10am on Sunday.   If you have a friend hit him up for a code.

– 15 game plan holders have a presale at 10am on Monday.  (The Subway Series is evidently not part of this, I have no information about the other presales as they apply to Subway Series, but I believe it’s probably the same situation).

– Club Mets members have a presale at 10am on Tuesday.

– the general public single game sales are Sunday March 7th at 10am.  This does not include the Subway Series.

If you did have a 15 game plan and logged in with your account you’d see something that looks like this (click to enlarge)

or the Mets can continue to pretend this information isn’t out there anyway. So silly Mets, so silly.

Please remember all this information is unofficial, possibly completely inaccurate and is fan-generated. I will leave it to you to decide how reliable Mets Police is.

My new blue Mets jersey has arrived

I don’t know if anyone else will care, but my blue Cooperstown Collection blue Mets jersey has arrived.  (You know you want one)

I got cocky and got the large instead of the XL.  If you see someone stuffed into one of these and you think that “that guy could stand to lose a few” it’s probably me.   Opening Day I will likely rock the “2000’s decade” pinstriped Mets Police #86.  It has black dropshadow…don’t yell at me, yell at Jeff Wilpon…plus it was a very nice gift from my cousin.

By the way, say the 2011 Mets wore something like this (in place of black alt’s), say with buttons – don’t you think they’d sell a few?  I’m here to help you Dave Howard.  Make some cash.  The guys who wanted black Franco jerseys already have them.

Spotted: New York Mets umbrella

Spotted this in NYC.  Isn’t it pretty?  Nice blue and orange and no black.  One point off for the ball-logo not having the NY.  That’s not the umbrella’s fault.  i still don’t understand why the NY was taken off that logo?  Is it cheaper to make without it?  Do the Mets think that people in NJ will rebel?   I have no idea.

Back to tickets: I will have more pre-sale information in the morning.

I’m hearing: Subway Series not part of Mets single game ticket sale on March 7th

First the info, then some comments below. From Mets Police reader Tom:

Shannon:
I emailed the Mets asking about a lottery for Opening Day, and got this:

Thank you for your e-mail. Opening Day tickets will be sold once single game tickets go on sale. As of right now the Subway Series tickets will not be sold. More information concerning the Subway Series will come out in the following weeks. There will be limited availability due to the Pre-sales we will have before the tickets go on sale. You can guarantee your Opening Day or Subway Series tickets by purchasing a Full Season, 40 Game Plan, 15 Game Plan that includes the selective game, one of our 6 game packs that include the selective game or our new 4 game Pick-a-Pack which includes Opening Day or a Yankee Game and three games of your choice. 1 game in April, 1 game in May, and 1 game in June. If you are interested in guaranteeing your Opening Day and Subway Series tickets now, call one of our operators at 718-507-TIXX.

I know you reported that there may be no lottery, but here’s some confirmation. Also, looks like there will be a lottery for Yankee games.

Faithful Mets Police reader,

Tom

There you have it.  No Subway Series games are being sold on March 7th.

Coupla thoughts:

1.  My usual reminder that Mets Police is not news.  I don’t claim to be accurate.  I’m only as good as my sources and I don’t have a team of investigative journalists to follow these stories.  I’ll leave it to you to decide on my track record of accuracy, and since I know the Mets check out the site I imagine that if I posted something wildly inaccurate that I’d get a note.

2.  Thanks to Tom for sending this over – as clearly demonstrated this week, it’s readers like you that fuel the site, which brings us to point #3

3.  As I mentioned yesterday, why the cat and mouse with the bloggers?  We aren’t going away (even if I quit today that would leave roughly three million Mets blogs, and probably 8-10 “major” ones).  Clearly the information is getting out to us.  Why not just have correct information out there?  The Mets aren’t keeping a secret or the email above wouldn’t exist.  Why not just share it with all potential customers?  Wouldn’t it help their business to alert fans that if they want to guarantee Subway Series tickets that fans should consider buying a 4 pack now?  The presumably feared WFAN backlash is going to happen anyway, whether today or on the Monday after the sale.  Just be honest with your fans.
