I went to the Mets vs the Rockies at Citi Field last night. It really was a ghost town. All the “busier” concession stands that always have lines were not as busy as usual. I walked by the pastrami sandwich stand.They usually have two lines set up with a good amount of people standing on them. They had one line and only four customers lined up. Keith’s Grill(which I personally don’t think the burgers are that great) had no one on line the three times I walked by it. That stand on field level always has folks on line.

Pat La Frieda Steak Sandwich stand(my personal fav now.knocking off the pastrami in the # 1 spot) – I flew through it in 30 seconds. Last couple of times it was a 10 minute wait. Even the Shake Shack wasn’t as busy as normal, it still had a big line but not the usual I give up line.

It seems to me the interest in this Mets team for this year is over. I still have five games left in my 20 game plan. I won’t be in town this weekend to use my tickets for Saturday. My buddy Randy from Readtheapple.com is going to use my tix and get me a Piazza Bobble head so I can complete my 50th anniversary collection. I might go to tonight’s game. I still love spending time at the park maybe I will see some of you there.

I attended the no hitter. I have my ticket from that night framed and hanging on my wall. The Mets decided that they wanted to try to make some more money off the game by selling tickets to that game after it already happened. We all know about how there was either outrage about the tickets being reprinted and also some just didn’t care. But, there were questions raised. “Will someone who wasn’t at the game get a reprint of my ticket?, Will the tickets be labelled as a reprint?, etc..”
I was curious.I decided to order the reprints of my seats(I was at the game) just to see the differences, if any on the tickets.

This is my original ticket. Access to Promenade Club, seat number, and Ojeda on the front.

 

Here are the reprints- Seem to be same exact ticket. Doesn’t say reprint, or commemorative or any other type of wording to say not original ticket. The Club access is different then the original and so are the bar codes. Everything else the same.Including the Subway ad on the back.

Shannon btw Metspolice.com owes me $50 for the tickets..I’ll send my expense report over to you later.
