The Mets Police

The Mets emailed me from “mets.com ticketing” and the email included a link for the Subway Series.  I decided to see if I could attend the May 14th game with 11 friends.

 

Nice.  And only $78 in fees.

I could not be bothered to check the next night’s game or the games in Fake New Yankee Stadium…but that’s what the comments section is for.  Also feel free to weigh in on $45 for 536.

Our friend Mr. @Readtheapple tweeted at me…

@metspolice This is the kind of nitpicky #Mets fan injustice you need to be all over. https://t.co/J8PMDEGS5V

As if I am sitting on my deck all afternoon looking for some minute to blog about.  Oh wait, I am.

Mr. The Apple says

So apparently you can’t use the Mets alternate blue uniforms in the game but for some reason the fans in the stands have them? WTF? It even has the new Mr. Met sleeve patch if you look closely.

Well that is stupid.  But lets look at these fans.  I know this is dark but this isn’t important enough to me to run through photoshop.

The guy in the middle next to the Fudweiser logo is wearing a number zero jersey.  They don’t sell those.  Did he go to StitchesNY and have a custom Quintanilla made?  I don’t think so because the number doesn’t really match the lettering and Stitches would get that right.

Why is he with a Giants fan (on the left as you look at this.)

I like that in the front row we are seeing some quality blue caps…low crown too.

Can you believe the Mets are charging a buck fifty for cheese sauce?  At least pretzels are only $3.50.  Who the hell is ordering the clam chowder?

Why is nobody tweeting in this photo?

Why did they went until the nicest day of the year to release this game? I am not sitting in a basement to play this today.

Here’s the video..

 

 

METS JOIN FORCES WITH GOVX.COM TO EXTEND
SPECIAL ONLINE TICKET PROGRAM TO MILITARY & FIRST RESPONDERS

FLUSHING, N.Y., May 6, 2014 – The New York Mets and GovX.com today announced the launch of an online verification ticketing service exclusive to members of the U.S. Military and first responders providing specially priced Mets tickets to these deserving individuals.

GovX.com is the leading e-commerce site devoted to serving verified members of the U.S. Armed Forces (active, reserve, veteran and retired), law enforcement personnel, first responders and related government employees by offering exclusive, significant savings on sports and event ticketing and 40,000-plus premium products.

GovX.com’s proprietary online verification technology allows the Mets to easily extend privileged online ticketing and recognition events exclusively to U.S. Military service members, law enforcement personnel, first responders and related government employees, along with their families.

The Mets will offer up to 50% off select tickets to U.S. Military service members (active, reserve, veteran and retired) and first responders.

To access this exclusive ticket discount for select regular season home games, qualified fans can visit the Mets/GovX ticketing page at www.GovX.com/Mets. Upon selecting the desired game, users who are not already GovX.com members are directed to a simple online verification page to complete the one-time verification. From there, users proceed with their ticket selection, where the respective discount is automatically applied. The purchased tickets can then be emailed and downloaded.

“Every day, military service members and first responders, along with their families, sacrifice so much for all of the rest of us; it’s a special honor to bring them together with the New York Mets to convey the community’s collective gratitude for their service,” said Tony Farwell, GovX.com executive chairman and co-founder.

GovX.com is proud to sponsor the team’s Military Mondays initiative and will donate hundreds of tickets to local military service members and first responders throughout the season.

The GovX.com online verification system is fast, accurate and simple to use. Once verified, users enjoy significant savings on sports and event ticketing and thousands of products and services offered exclusively to them. To date, more than three million service men and women have access to the GovX.com online discounts, content and community.

In addition to the ticket discount and recognition events, this partnership will include specials on officially licensed merchandise through the MLB.com Shop as well as MLB.TV, the #1 sports streaming product.

Friends —

Thanks for being a Mets fan! Former and current players appreciate your support.

That’s why we’re going to give one of our fans who signed the Open Letter a unique Mets experience prior to the first Subway Series game at Citi Field on Wednesday, May 14th. The winning fan will have the opportunity to meet me and some of my teammates prior to the game. We’ll also provide a pair of tickets to the game.

All you have to do is join the thousands of fans who have already added their name. Will you add yours?

Let’s make this happen! Hopefully we’ll get to meet up as well! Let’s Go Mets!
