Queens Baseball Convention adds Cliff Floyd to December 2 event

Insiders close to the Queens Baseball Convention tell Mets Police….

Saturday December 2nd 2023 is not too far away. I mean it is but it isn’t but it will definitely sneak up on us soon. You guys ready for another fun day at Four Points Flushing? You guys ready to hang out and hear  great panels that have been at the Queens Baseball Convention in the past?

You already heard that we are bringing in Terry Collins, Billy Wagner, and Cliff Floyd for a panel and a signing each. You guys know we have Mark Healey with the State of the Mets Panel. We have an awesome host in John Saponaro. You already know we have awesome vendors that came to sell there wares. You know we have our partnership with Katch Astoria that has awesome food. What you don’t know is the date tickets go on sale. Well that changes now.

The on sale date for QBC 2023 will be Monday October 2, 2023. Yep the day after the baseball season is over we are ready to help our fellow fans reset mentally for next season. As usual QueensBaseballConvention.com and themediagoon.com sites will be two of the ways to buys tickets.

Some quick notes.

We have to raise prices this year to meet up with inflation costs. Travel and accommodations for the guests have gone up. We also have to pay more for the venue, guests, and incidentals for QBC. It won’t be anything too crazy.

Folks have asked for General Admission tickets without autographs as an option. We have tried it in he past, it wasn’t the best but we will try it again.

There will be:

GA tickets

Admission Ticket with Terry Collins Auto

Admission Ticket with Billy Wagner Auto

Admission Ticket with Cliff Floyd Auto

VIP Orange Package

VIP Blue Table Package

Extra Auto Tickets and Inscription Tickets

We will have more information in the coming days about pricing and what is included with the different packages,

Queens Baseball Convention adds Billy Wagner

Hey the Mets aren’t the only ones getting younger – the Queens Baseball Convention is too.   They have brought down the average age of the announced special guests!  The first guest is Terry Collins, and now they’ve added Bully Wagner.   (oops I had a funny typo which made me laugh so I left it in)  BILLY Wagner.

A source close to the Queens Baseball Convention tells MetsPolice.com…

You already heard that we are bringing in Terry Collins for a panel and a signing. Who could be the guest for our second announcement be? Forget about guessing… Drum Roll Please.. What do you mean this post doesn’t have audio? Fine. Forget the drum roll.

Die Hard, stop complaining and renew your tickets Mets fans!

There seems to be a lot of discussion about ticket renewal plans out in Queens.  Hey guys, I don’t know what you want here – I wrote about how Steve should be worried about the die hards losing interest and everyone got mad at me.  Less than 24 hours later people are upset that things like the below appear to be happening, as told to The Media Goon by one fan.

new for 2024… half season plan holders… we took away your full postseason 
strip access, thanks for your loyalty… Thanks mets, this may now be the end 
of my season tickets. Half season holders only get half postseason strip 
options… my seat location was always subject to moving around 
which is fine and i understand but having full strip access was always by 
selling point… just spoke to my rep and he confirmed it only full 
season members can purchase full strips up front. After that whater 
is left will then be offered to other plan holder… 41 games isnt enough 
anymore lol.
That same fan apparently tells Media Goon that the “unused game ticket exchange program has been discontinued.”
Yesterday we learned that “For non-premium members, this differentiated membership platform will freeze prices for 43 percent of seats for the 2024 season” which by my calculations means 57% are not flat – but hey maybe that 57% is going down.
I also heard a price point about parking which I haven’t confirmed, but if true it’s a big enough jump that even the newspapers will pay attention.
Anyway, as you saw in Uncle Steve’s tweet back to me – the new rules have made baseball fun, and the team is getting younger.  Plus we have the new expanded club and the Mets Marketing guy wants to turn a day at Citi Field into an event, rather than a baseball game accompanied by organ music where you and your friend have a leisurely conversation over a beer and hot dog.   That would be insane.
So stop complaining and renew your tickets.  You all told me how die-hard you were.   I read your Facebook posts and tweets.  So die hard, and renew.
