Citi Field

[HappyGilmore]

Correct, I am sure this thread will have a few pages on how the tickets look, the media guide and bashing the crappy citi field replica. Thats when you'll know everyone got their tickets.

There better be some blue and orange on those tickets, or the $&#@ is gonna hit the fan!

[MrMet84]

On a lighter note..

I have 12 Caesars Club level tickets for the 4/3 game.. looking to sell @ face.
No trades at this time..

pm sent about tickets

[islandxtreme26]

Can someone please tell me if they saw this...

I was just on stubhub...still waiting to grab my OD tix...slowly but surely i see the creep creep of prices comign down...a LITTLE

I may have been seeing things, but I swear an apple appeared in the white area on the map where the HRApple is...and then it dissolved from the screen!!! I have no idea if this is a goodie, but I cant get it back!

Has anyone seen this yet?!

I've been on Stubhub every day for the last 2 weeks or so and you aren't seeing things. It pops up every now and then and then just dissolves.

Strange.

Does anyone know how many seats are in the rows in section 522?
Where would seats 22-23 be? Towards home or towards LF?

I'm in row 6, worried a little about the staircase obstruction.

Towards Left Field. Seat 1 is always the closest to home.

[met_dream]

Towards Left Field. Seat 1 is always the closest to home.

So we should have a good view looking into home from top of 3B, without having to look direct over the stairs.

[rangers00]

FYI. Barcodes now work for SJU and BoSox games on SH.

[rangers00]

I meant BoSox games only.

Really? It worked for me (about half an hour ago). Both 4/3 and 4/4 game in fact. I even got an immediate email for my payment timeline.

I am an expert on section 522! There are 24 seats in the section-- Seat 1 is closest to HP while seat 24 (in row 1) is directly in front of the landing of the stairwell!

I think by row 6 you should be fine...

[Shea1012]

Obviously this doesn't help tickets that already sold - but why don't you guys just list tickets for sale as a non-season ticket holder - then you can ship hard tickets, no? I sold my Red Sox tickets as a non season ticket holder and I am pretty sure I have to fed-ex the tickets once I confirm I have them from the Mets.

Is this wrong - even non plan tickets are being transferred electronically?

Who else keeps checking their email hoping they'll receive that illusive UPS shipping info regarding the tickets? The suspense...

Does anybody know if we are definitely receiving UPS tracking emails? I'm not sure if that was info that somebody got officially from the Mets or whether it was just speculation. I ask because I honestly don't ever remember receiving a tracking email in the past.

I was told that we would get a tracking email by the customer relations department. They told me this on Saturday via the phone.

I don't know if that means it's 100 percent true, but it should be what they would tell anyone if they called and asked.

I know the Yankees used UPS last year, and that's what the Mets say they are using this year, and with the Yanks and UPS you got an e-mail telling you a package shipped to you.

[Confused]

you know that email wont come until after you get the tickets right?

[Dishy24]

Nevermind - I just re-read my Stubhub email - all tickets are electronic

I sold a few St. John's tickets on Stubhub & was able to mail hard tickets--

[citifaithful]

you know that email wont come until after you get the tickets right?

No I didn't because whoever posted stated we'd get an email when they sent them.

[umwol13]

Okay, I just got my OD tickets (from the lottery) and on the ticket it says "Admit one to Acela Club"

Did they rename some other club or does this mean the Restaurant?

Actually the number of seats per row varies Dishy. Row 6 should have no problem with the stairways, especially being on the outfield end of the section.

you ppl dont get humor do you?

but like dishy said, if wouldnt surprise me if the email came after the ticket did.

Hehehe, I guess I shouldn't tell you that I already had season tix. Actually my friend who I split my season tickets with was the one who won the OD lottery and was able to get 4 in the Metropolitan Box. I'm trying to convince him to keep those for ourselves and sell our regular seats up in the promenade box.

[tfc3rid]

My friend is in 522 seats 23 and 24 up in Row 10... So up there, we have at least 24.

Question-

When in the Promenade Club, are there areas with windows where can you watch the game?

All of the Wheel Chair & companion seating I purchased for April/May games include access into the Promenade Club. My Dad (almost 80) will be thrilled if he can watch from the Club & avoid that cold April weather!

Thanks!

Thanks!in the prom club there are windows throughout the entire side that faces the field with little shelves you can put your food/drinks on and just watch the game from there, I don't know if there will be seats/stools are the window tho. There weren't when I was on the tour but it was also still not finished fully.

Today's story is...

Fill in the blank.... It's crazy...

[supremebeing002]

Hey gang. Not that this ultimately helps much but just spoke to my rep. They are sticking to their story that the season tickets will be shipped "on or about 3/20". When pressed on why they don't have an exact date of shipment I'm told since the tickets are coming from an outside source in Arkansas the Mets have no control of the actual date they decide to ship. We just have to sit around and wait for the email link that states the printer has sent the tickets out. Again not adding anything major to the table here just trying to save you time if you planned on calling the Mets to get an "update".

We'll see what happens but I'm calling Stubhub and giving them a 3/31 date for the barcodes just in case this thing drags on through next week.

Thanks. That actually does help us a lot. I still don't think they'll be sent on the 20th. At this rate, it seems too early. A lot of previous season owners said in the past they've received their tickets at the very end of March. I'm expecting it to be no different this year.

I was a full STH last year for the first time and I definitely got an email with tracking info. It didn't come from the Mets, it came from the shipper. Same with the 2008 postseason tickets. I received an email with tracking info for those as well.

Partial plan holder here. Last year, I received my partial plan tickets on March 26. In 2007, I received them on March 27. I would expect that the partial plan tickets will arrive this year around that time this year and that season tickets may arrive a few days earlier. DHL sent me an email last year regarding shipment of postseason tickets but not shipment of regular season tickets. I suspect that, if you ordered tickets online and provided the Mets with an email address, you will receive a notification email from the shipper (UPS). If you ordered your tickets by phone, you may not get such notification. Finally, this season starts a week later than the past couple of seasons which started on April 1 and March 30. As a result, it shouldn't surprise anyone that they haven't received their season or plan tickets yet.

All true, but keep in mind that the Red Sox exhibition game tickets are included in the full season ticket packages, which means they need to be mailed out based on those dates, not Opening Day.

Yes. I'm can confirm this. I'm a former Saturday Plan ticket holder for 11 years and I never got an advance email either. The tickets would just show up one day. This must be a new system I'm assuming.

Umm - honestly, put yourselves in the reps shoes. So many people on this board are huge pains in the butts. Now - for us, it has helped get info (pricing, obstructions, etc) but if I was a rep, I would be wondering what a bunch of freaking losers everyone is calling to ask the same questions over and over again. The first game is April 3rd - it is still 2.5 weeks away. If we don't receive our tickets by the 27th - maybe then call and complain, but before that, jeez, give it a rest.

I laugh internally when I observe people claiming to need information get into a hissy, when the dissemination of that information will have no consequences whatsoever on the person.

It's as if the human race has become addicted to information, like a drug.

We used to get by just fine without ATM's, cell phones, on-demand programming, and the internet....

Just let it go. There are much more important things in life that one can devote time and energy to then attempting to obtain knowledge of when a package is going to arrive by mail.

Cheers!

It's not as simple as that. People need the tickets to complete stub hub sales. We promised Stub Hub that on certain dates we'd deliver barcodes based on false information from the Mets ticket office. If they were competent and could just simply answer the question. "When are are tickets going to be delivered?" There would be NO issue here. After paying thousands of $$$ for their product I don't think that's asking too much.

Sorry it damages your ticket scalping abilities - but just change the darn stubhub date to 3/30 - it really is not a big deal.

Was it really a promise? I ordered three tickets to the Saturday Sox game off of StubHub, and when I view the order, I have an "Estimated Ship Date".

The other issue is stubhub requires you to provide the tickets a certain number of days before the scheduled event (1 week?). If you can't provide them by the deadline the sale is potentially busted per the terms and conditions and the buyer can back out

I spoke to a rep at stubhub about the Mets tickets not being delivered. He stated that if the deadline for the sales passes and the Mets havent shipped out the tickets yet, the sale stands b/c it isnt an invidual mistake it is the mets. The buyer will not be allowed to back out until it is confirmed the Mets have shipped their tix.
And it wasnt the rep just telling me this, he called me back after talking w/ his supervisor about this issue

The buyer can definitely get their money back, they're guaranteed to get their tickets in time:
http://www.stubhub.com/guarantee/

If they don't get there in time the buyer gets his money back, and the only way the seller doesn't get hit is if stubhub eats the cost. I guess it depends on how big the hit is to stubhub if it's the seller or stubhub that takes the loss because at the end of the day you did say you would have the tickets by a certain date.

Our season tickets and 15 game packs come with a citi field replica. I thought it looked pretty lame and assumed it would end up in a box somewhere in my basement but I see online they go for $70.
Is this going to be a "collector's item"? Maybe I'll try to resell it on eBay.
This is my first time getting a 15 game pack, does anyone know what they gave out in past years?

It was last year's STH gift. Not really a ticket box. It looks like a humidor.
Here's one on ebay:

The guy lists it as cedar and I'm 99% sure that it isn't cedar. It's more like plywood or particle board because of the way the screws strip so easily. Still, a cool little box nonetheless. I DO keep my tickets in it.

[LBCaptain]

99% sure I recall them saying in the letter it was a box to keep the ticket book in - well at least that is what I did with it.

Certainly was not a true cigar box (although oddly enough I did keep a few of them in there throughout the season as well)

It did look really sharp but I had the same thing happen to me with the hinges and the screws stripping out.

Hopefully there are no screws in whatever we are getting this year.... :crazy

That pen... What a joke. Mine didn't even work. The ink was dry on day one.

[CHiller]

Sorry if this isn't the right thread to ask this question, but guess it's kind of on topic. Can anyone tell me if season ticket holders had the two exhibition games vs. Boston included in their package, or maybe were they offered first dibs on them, before they went on sale to the gen'l public? And, if they were included or had first dibs, would the season ticket holder actually have received the tickets for the exhibition games by now? Thanks.

Maybe I should have read the thread before posting this question:blush:. I see a page back or so that it seems that no season tickets have been mailed out yet (eta is 3/20), and that the Boston games were included in the full season package. Sorry for the bother... I now return you to the arts.

Every year I get 2 of the STH gifts (one with my full season plan, and one with my partial)-- I always put one of the items away for my son to save and display/use the other. I have had my ticket box on the table for a year and do keep tickets, invoices, letters--basically all Mets related ticket stuff in it. It is filled right now with USPS priority lables waiting to ship out tickets I have sold. It's a great box-- my hinges are fine & I probably open it almost daily!

Dishy-T! My box from last year is sitting in another box in a corner somewhere. I thought it was a weird gift but I'm sure I'll find a use for it. That shovel pen was a little weird too, but I'm looking forward to the citi field replica this year :D

I usually sell the Media Guide, but this year I may not

[Kooos]

As far as I can tell.....none of the pens worked (which I found kind of amusing). How, exactly, does that happen? Did the manufacturer simply forget to include ink (in all 10k)? :dismay:

My wood box is fine. I've got it sitting on my bar where I keep coasters, remote controls, etc in it.

[SS Express]

Hey guys. Just wanted to say I got something in the mail from St. Johns saying that I can still get tickets. I am going there next year so they sent me this letter, telling me that I can get tickets for the game at Citi Field. I am trying to find my ID and PIN from the school and as soon as I do, I will let you guys know where the seats are.

[Gary Dunaier]

Someone already posted info on how current students can get tix. If memory serves me right you guys have got to meet at SJU at a certain time, then you'll get on a bus to Citi Field and once you get off the bus you'll be given a ticket.

This one might be different. I am going there next year and it is titled as "accepted students." It is giving me the option of purchasing 2 tickets. I have tickets to the game anyway, but I do not think this promotion will require a visit to the school and a bus ride.

I'll let you know in a little.

[Gary Dunaier]

Are there people that pay real money for those media guides? I have a drawer full of them somewhere

Last year someone paid $101.23 for a 2008 Yankees media guide in an Ebay auction that ended 3/11/08 - that is, before the season began.

$101.23! Somebody must have wanted that book real bad, or thought it was going to be a hard item to find... whoever "won" that auction must have been all :banghead: :hissyfit: :banghead: :hissyfit: :banghead: :hissyfit: for the entire season, because during the season you could buy all you want for cover price ($20)... I guess they had plenty left over because during the YS tours I took in October and November they were still selling them!

If that guy is on Baseball Fever, the Yankee Team Store on 42nd Street has the '09 media guide on sale already... only $20...

I am still using one of my favorite STH gifts, the METS Rawlings home-plate shaped leather mouse pad.

I can't say I was too thrilled with the Mets picture holder.

Speaking of gifts/promotions, I still have one of the worst promotions they gave out, the orange blue white paneled Mets cap, talk about ugly! I also have the Mets rally cap somewhere.

Worst promotion ever was the Fan Appreciation Day in the late 80's early 90's. You got a $50 discount certificate for United Airlines, except it was for full fare only and the normal discounts were for more. The floor was littered with these things that day.

Close second was Spuds MacKenzie Day. Everyone got a picture of Spuds on a stick and before the game, a limmo pulled out of the CF gate and when it got to the dugout, the dog jumped out, ran to the mound and jumped on a director's chair for a picture opportunity.

Spiderman's wedding was pretty bad too.

The scarfs and wooly hats were always good (and useful) but the best was the day they gave out Carvel sundays as you walked in

[johnql]

Anybody remember the Crazy Eddie promotion where they gave out Mets caps with velcro attached and two balls that stuck to the cap? If I recall correctly, the Mets started to lose that game badly and a lot of the balls were thrown onto the field by disgruntled fans.

It is different. The current students are limited to one ticket each and have to be present at campus, ride the bus and get the ticket while on board. Not on the bus = no ticket.


Thankfully I already have tickets and don't have to go through the school because that bus isn't going to get to the stadium until 12:30... i'm getting there when the gates open at 10:40.


Its also pretty funny that students who have been paying 25,000 tuition a year are only allowed to have one ticket while those that are still in high school can have two. Love the logic.

Rally Cap Day ! Those things didn't go as far as the seat cushions though


Remember when they had bat days? An old buddy of mine brought that up the other day. In late 60's/early 70's we got one before a Phillies double header (we both still have 'em too). Imagine if they did that before a Phiilies game now?

Post on Citi Field Photos thread. We're like vulture for pictures over there. (Credit to Big Man for the comparison) :D

[Gary Dunaier]

the best was the day they gave out Carvel sundays as you walked in

"Strawberry Sunday," 1984. Commemorating Darryl Strawberry's winning the 1983 NL Rookie Of The Year award. Fans received a coupon as they walked in, and those coupons could be redeemed at specially set up stands for a strawberry ice cream sundae.

I remember the commercial on the television for the day. Tim McCarver asked Darryl something to the effect of 'what if your last name were Diamond or Gold,' and Darryl said something like 'well, they'd probably give out diamonds or gold, but since it's Strawberry, they're giving out sundaes on Sunday.'

I also remember going to the game, keeping my coupon (I don't like strawberry ice cream), and then going through dumpsters looking for redeemed coupons that weren't too sticky after the game. (I wasn't the only one.) I think I still have them somewhere.

Hey, thanks for posting pics. First time I see someone post 527.

[Flushing Roots]

Well here we are. 3/20. The date that our tickets are supposedly being shipped. Anyone wanna lay odds on this actually happening today?100-1...:silent::silent::silent:

[stellarceltic]

Lowest tickets on StubHub are up $18 to $268 today.

25 days away.... I was hoping they'd start falling a little....

[met_dream]

yes it is row 6

wow....row 6 is sweet.

I'm 5 sections to your right..same row. Thanks for the pics.

My box is great!!

The ebay discount through live.com is up to 10% now...

[stellarceltic]

The ebay discount through live.com is up to 10% now...

I saw that but eBay tickets are going for like $400+ a piece. Even with the discount you're better off buying from StubHub.

[islandxtreme26]

has anyone received their Opening Day tix yet? Specifically, people who do not have a plan and purchased HARD tickets through the OD sale?

[Henderson24]

Yes, I received my Opening Day tickets on Wednesday. However, I have not yet received my exhibition game (Friday) tickets.

You're not a plan, right? These were from OD sale?
I ask bc I am wavering on where I am buying my tix from - found a reputable seller on Ebay who claims he has HARD tix in hand - I was under the impression they weren't out yet and was very skeptical when he told me that. If people are in fact in posession of the hard tix, that alleviates alot of my caution, except of course, the natural caution that comes with buying tickets online.

I purchased them as part of the OD sale.

How much are they on eBay?

How much are they on eBay?

Personally I haven't seen them lower than $350-$400.

Yea, Ebay OD prices are crazy

[citimouse]

Hey DLA75, we're row-mates!-Weekend plan_ Thanks for the great pix,my wife is using them as proof that we didn't need to pay the extra for prom infield .

Popular spot! I'm in that section/row for one of my plans as well. :nod:

Was nervous (well, more like anxious) about the view mostly because I hadn't seen it in person. These picts really made my day. Thanks, DLA75. :clapping

[Confused]

i wouldnt buy anything for that type of money on ebay.

btw, the 10% discount thing via live.com and ebay. it may take 6-8 weeks for you to get that money back from microsoft.

[gurtyb]

I am still not able to fullfill any Stubhub orders for the exhibition games. Is anyone else still having this problem? Stubhub really needs to get their act together!

I've done the msn rebate thing and it works. I don't care if it's 8 weeks I'm in no rush for the rebate. But if anyone is interested in opening day tickets I will have 4 available in 512 and will beat the lowest price on stubhub for similar seats, hard tickets.

[johnql]

I still haven't been able to transfer my bar codes either. They did say that it might take up to Mar 27 to get it fixed. I'll probably give them until Tuesday or so before I try to contact them again.

I think its unacceptable for me to have to wait fullfill my orders (and therefore wait to get paid) while Stubhub tries to figure their problems out. And on top of that, for the privilage of having all of this aggravation and having to wait, StubHub is taking 15% of my money as a service fee (and charging they buyer 10% plus $5 for delivery). What a ridiculous racket!

I completely agree. FWIW, StubHub blames MLB. There's no way for us to know whose fault it really is, but from a seller's perspective, we only care that it gets fixed pronto.

Gurty great points, and you know what - you should be telling this to a stubhub agent. They have the flexibility to waive fees, I would try to get a few bucks out of this if I were you

I agree with Gordon-D, I have used the Live cashback offer many times-- especially before Christmas-- the % changes-- so keep watching it. It was 30% cashback at it's peak! It was 25% for quite a long time. The offer was gone for a while but now back and currently up to 10% cashback. It does take 60 days to receive it and they deposit it directly into your Paypal account-- I had a total of a little over $900 cashback deposited into my Paypal account!

Remember it has to be a "buy it now" item & you must pay with Paypal. If anyone wants more details, feel free to PM me.

I could just be dancing in the dark on this but do you suppose there is any connection with the Stub Hub bar codes not working properly and the mystery behind when exactly is the shipping date for our season tickets? Maybe they had to reprint with new Bar Codes or something throwing off the intended original delivery date??

I personally think the Mets are trying to hold back tickets from the secondary market for as long as humanly possible so they don't have any competition with their disappointing primary market sales of overpriced field and first deck seats

I plan on taking you up on your offer as soon as prices start to go down :dance

[mandrake]

That would probably be 100% correct, but if there is a huge difference in price, most fans would wait it out. Even in the prom level, there are tickets out there as low as $6, and a lot in the $8-$9 range. The problem with that is who wants to pay a $5 charge for a $6 ticket.

If the Mets primary sales are a disappointment, that can't be good news for the STH's looking to sell either.

[Chip Douglas]

I guess I "lucked out". I bought two tix in late January on Stubhub for the Promenade section 516 for OD for $277 each. From looking on Stubhub now, that seems cheap.:laugh

[Flushing Roots]

This is weird. It's working for me (as recent as yesterday on a pair of 4/3 tix). I bought all my tix thru my season acct (ie, logged in then bought). Wonder if that made a diff.

[ribant]

I was playing around with the schedule/pitching rotation. If the Mets set it up so Santana pitches every 5th day and opens Citifield he will have his final SP outing against the Sox on 4/3.

That would be very cool. :clapping:clapping:clapping And take the back page from then Yankees.:D:D:D

That is not how things are currently lined up. He last pitched on Tuesday March 17. Barring any injuries, he will pitch this Sunday March 22, then Friday March 27, then Wednesday April 1 and then Opening Day Monday April 6 in Cincy. While the Mets have an offday this coming Monday, they will likely have whoever was scheduled to throw Monday pitch against the minor leaguers.

[Ralf]

An FYI, I purchased a set of tix in the presale and just received them in the mail.

Santana will in all probability pitch on Monday 4/6 in Cincinnati for opening day in which case there's no chance he pitches on 4/3 (his last tuneup would be 4/1). Then he'll pitch the 11th in Fla and back home to close the SD series on the 16th. That would mean we'll likely see Ollie P and Maine for the opener and second game on the 13th and 15th. If Ollie pitches opening day at Citi and gets into one of his wild streaks early it's REALLY gonna put a damper on the excitement fast.

You guys are probably right.

But from a marketing standpoint they should go with thier ace when all the media is focused on them.

I would not be surprised if the evil empire has C.C. or at least A.J. pitching one or both of thier first two games.

I really don't think Jerry Manuel has given a 2nd thought to the marketing aspect.

The best marketing strategy is to win.

Anyone get an email regarding ST's today?

[johnql]

Anyone get an email regarding ST's today?
Nothing. Funny thing - my doorbell rings and the guy says "UPS". I'm thinking, "Great. Season tickets!" But no. It was a different package that I wasn't even expecting today. The wait continues.

[citifaithful]

Anyone get an email regarding ST's today?

Nope...Only a Yankees telling me I didn't win their lottery. Well, I initially said they'd come the 23rd, and I thought that was a conservative estimation. Now, I'm gonna have to guess the 26th.

[Dishy24]

For what it's worth (which is probably very little)... I was talking with the infamous "supervisor" today regarding some Wheel Chair seating & he told me that all FULL season tickets will be mailed out by the end of this week & PARTIAL plans will all be out by the end of next week.

Oh, BTW, my ticket partner Bill (the guy who went on the tour for me & took those pictures of my former seats in 522) bought 2 games during the pre-sale for 2 Monday night games in April & May. He got 518, row 4, seats 1-4. I told them they were "what the Mets admit are obstructed view". Otherwise, they would be GREAT seats & sold as ST. I confirmed this with the "supervisor" today and he confirmed-- he said "They have an acceptable view for a single game here & there, but we wouldn't sell them to someone who was going to sit there for an entire season". WTF?? Suppose you only could afford 1 or 2 games a year-- you should be stuck with an "acceptable view"??? BTW- they were FULL price... and Bill received his tickets already & they are NOT marked obstructed view. :noidea

What sucks about this, is the majority of fans have no idea those seats are obstructed, because the park is brand new (and they're not obsessed like us).

[tomzpc]

What ever happened to "the Mets are going to get their tickets out earlier this year". Is there any advantage to sending them out this late?

Between the Mets and Stubhub I'm starting to get a wee bit frustrated.

I'd see Pelf and Lester duke it out, although hopefully by next week I could buy a ticket to the exhibition at StubHub.

[rjg7872]

Anyone know what the Mets charged last year for Season Ticket Holders the opportunity to forward their tickets using mets.com? Was it a per game or per ticket charge?

[johnql]

I don't like it either, but to answer your question, the later they send out the tickets, the more time the printer has OR the later the Mets can wait to give the printer the go-ahead. This probably gave the Mets additional time to sell more season tickets. There is no advantage that I can see for us.

[Dishy24]

Anyone know what the Mets charged last year for Season Ticket Holders the opportunity to forward their tickets using mets.com? Was it a per game or per ticket charge?

I believe it was $4 and the the buyer could either pick them up at Will Call for free or pay an additional $2.50 for print at home tickets.

Last Sunday 3/15 was the deadline for all season tickets to be sent to the printers. Any orders placed after 3/15 will be printed at Citi Field on the "plain" tickets.

[Confused]

I believe it was $4 and the the buyer could either pick them up at Will Call for free or pay an additional $2.50 for print at home tickets.

the $4 could be paid by either party.

i "sent" several tickets like this.

i didnt know about the 2.50 charge.

jeez, they really nickel and dime you dont they?

charging you for printing? that like charging you for using your own banks atm.

Basically, I said some of the exact things you quoted ....months ago. Some people on this forum said I was too negative and always Mets bashing !
Of course, they were NOT the ones sitting in an obstructed seat. One game at the end of the aisle facing the stairway is a bad day; 12 games, or God forbid, 81 games is a crime. The fact that the Mets do not mark these as obstructed is just plain wrong. When the Wilpon shills debate this, they should do the honorable thing and exchange their 'best seats in the house' with the poor sap who is stuck behind the stairwell. That is the only way we will see who is being 'negative'.

[Flushing Roots]

Oh, I forgot one more thing... he also said you will receive an email from UPS with a tracking number when they ship.What are the odds we get the EMAIL today????:crazy:crazy:crazy

[supremebeing002]

So let me get this straight now the tickets are being shipped "on or about 3/27"? BTW I have multiple emails from my rep over the past six weeks that conflict the shipping date EVERYTIME. I even had a hard time explaing to a Stub Hub supervisor yesterday that I still had no idea when I will be able to submit barcodes. It was as if he wasn't believing me. Who could blame him? BTW he told me for the 4/3 Red Sox game if I couldn't submit the codes by 3/27 the sale is off. With the way things are going this is s distint possibilty.

[supremebeing002]

What are the odds we get the EMAIL today????:crazy:crazy:crazy

Slim to none.

I was thinking of starting this within the next few days, but since I see we have a already have a thread for Yankee Stadium, here's one for Citi Field.

We'll close the Citi Field Construction Photos thread in a few days, once the ballpark is officially complete. After that, use this thread for pictures, thoughts, etc about Citi Field in its completed form.

[LBCaptain]

So I went on the tour today... When we arrived in the reception area, there were two ticket reps stuffing envelopes with tickets for a work-out day. Does anyone know about this? My ticket rep didn't know about it but others on the tour with me seem to think it was for season ticket holders to see the place before OD. Anyone have info?

[johnql]

Are they just sending them to us or do we have to order them and pay?

My understanding is that they're being sent out automatically, gratis, to plan holders. But I'm not sure which plans qualify other than full season.

[gradeck]

All season and plan holders are getting them, and the workout day will be Sunday, April 5.

[Dishy24]

I wonder if you own full seasons & a partial plan if you will get tickets through both plans?

If it's reserved seating, how will they handle the two 40-game plan holders who share the same seat?

this is what i said in the YS ticket thread but all the yankee fans bashed me...because i made a comment about how partial plan holders dont get to go to workout day

[johnql]

I believe it is GA... they did this a few years back as well.. 2006 maybe?

I believe it was 2006. I didn't go. I gave my tickets to a friend, who took his son. I don't remember whether it was GA or reserved.

[JP1968]

I believe it was 2006. I didn't go. I gave my tickets to a friend, who took his son. I don't remember whether it was GA or reserved.
It was general admission and I recall not too many people sitting in the seats. Most were standing in HR territory trying to catch a HR ball and others stood close to the field hoping for an autograph. Just like watching batting practice at Shea.

I saw in the Shea demo thread that some people were talking about pre-paid parking at Citi Field. I did purchase the pre-paid parking, but have since sold some of my games to people that will be taking the train to the game and thus don't need the parking pass. Therefore if anybody is interested in buying the $18 passes from me for these games (PM me and I'll tell you which ones are available), please let me know.

I have heard the Mets will be charging at least $20 for parking (not sure if anybody has confirmed the price yet), so it could save you two bucks or more per game to put towards a beer or Shake Shack burger.
