I received an email from the Mets today stating that until Monday at midnight tickets can be purchased online without fees which add a substantial amount to the cost. I jumped at the opportunity to save money so I purchased tickets for 11 games. I could always buy tickets at the last minute for other games. I thought about buying a 20 game package, but decided not to for 2 reasons:
- 20 games is a little too much with the high cost of tickets
- The team chooses the 20 games in each of the packages it offers. I picked the games that I wanted to see.
It averaged to about $33/ticket for the 11 games. I remember back in the 1960s when tickets in the entire upper deck at Shea Stadium was $1.30. Somebody has to pay for the players' multimillion-dollar salaries.
