Mets Announce Holiday Pick a Packs

Thank you to Ceetar sending this over to us today. New ticket packages are always a good thing to see. Does this interest any former Plan holders out there that didn’t want to renew a 15,40, or full season plan?

Amazing Mets Perks Already Starting?

A friend of mine who is a season ticket holder told me that he just paid in full for his Mets Full Season tickets. Two days after paying for his tickets in full he received a call from the Mets. He just won a 30 minute hitting session with the whoever will be the Mets hitting coach during the season. This will take place in the batting cages the Mets have in the training area at Citi Field. The only thing is I know he has four tickets so I don’t know how it translates into who can go into the batting cage as part of that perk. Is it just one person? All four? How does that affect the time limit? I found it pretty cool that the Amazing Mets Perks have already started to be handed out.

Side note: If you take the tour of Citi Field you can see the cages first hand. The one rule during the tour was no pictures inside the clubhouse/training area so when I was there I was unable to take any snapshots.

Update 9pm from Shannon:  Media Goon is correct.  Winners on Mets.com

Mets Manager Update

I really am digging the way the Mets are keeping the fans up to date with the announcements. This one is to update us on the progress of the managerial interviews.

Here’s what it had to say:

November 4, 2010

Dear Mets Fans:

As you may have heard, today we interviewed two candidates to become the next Manager of the Mets.

The process got off to a good start with Bob Melvin and Dave Jauss here for interviews. I’ll be meeting with Wally Backman, Terry Collins and Chip Hale this weekend in California.

We plan to speak with more candidates next week and hope to announce our new Manager as soon as possible.

We will be back to you again with more information soon. Thanks for your ongoing support.

Sincerely,
Sandy Alderson

The Mets Do Listen to Us Fans

Dave Howard was on WFAN earlier and explained the ticket price reductions and the extra ten percent on top of that is also taken off for season ticket and partial ticket plans.

Plan holders have been wondering how come we never received a discount for basically buying in bulk. Well, finally the Mets paid attention to all their market research they have been doing. Shannon posted a lot of the surveys here on Mets Police.

That extra ten percent off is great on top of the reductions you are getting except if your in the Promenade Sections. Why is being in the Promenade Sections bad? Well, thats the only section thats getting an increase. A five percent increase. The only thing I wasn’t clear on is if its for all three sections in the Promenade(reserved,box,club) or for two out of three of of them, or just for one of them? That concerns me because I have my seats in the Promenade Box section and I want to know if I am getting that increase.
In all I am just glad the organization is realizing that it had alienated a lot of its fan base and is trying to make up for it.

Now if we could only have Saturday and Sunday plans with just Saturday or Sundays in them and not weekday games. There is a reason why I have my Sunday plan. I can’t make weekday games because I work crazy hours.
