It would seem that 15 and 20 game plan holders pay LESS for their 15 or 20 game plan than they would for an All-Star Game Ticket Strip in their seating category.
Pricing seems ridiculous... especially that it's bundled with crap I don't want.
I may let my option expire.....
Cheers!

20-Game "A" Plan, Prom Box 423.
Promenade Infield = $723 (as per MetsPolice.com)

And yet:
That's weird, considering that Prom Box is priced identically to Prom Res Inf by the Mets (for season tickets anyway).$799 - Promenade Gold (rjsallstars)
$703 - Promenade Box - 422 row 1 (Happyrecap)
The pricing set by MLB, right, so the STH benefit is primarily a locked-in location and first dibs?

the point i was trying to make is that people who purchase the strip will more than likely be overpaying for the all star sunday and the workout day, which if you break it down is essentially a minor league game, a softball game and a glorified batting practice, and underpay for the all star game. it wouldnt shock me if all star sunday at citi field is empty like the one at yankee stadium. i expect the derby to pretty much be the same as yankee stadium and of course the all star game will be packed. if you want to go to the all star game bad enough, it makes sense to buy the strip. i got extremely lucky and as a yankee partial plan holder I was able to get tickets during the pre-onsale for all the events but as you said, yankee stadium held about 56,000 while citi holds 41,000.
It will also be interesting to see what they're going to charge for the Pepsi Porch sections considering it should be a prime landing spot for the Home Run Derby.

That's probably it.
I think it's a bit misleading to make it $703 + $20 fee = $723 since the fee is flat regardless of if you have a single ticket, pair, set of 4 or 5 or whatever in your ticket plan. Just mention the $20 fee if necessary and compare the price per strip. Besides while a nebulous $20 "convenience fee" is annoying, I doubt anybody is going to turn away on buying ASG strips because of it (as opposed to the base cost per strip, and having to buy the entire strip package all-or-nothing).

Is this the source of your Mets Police information? They credited it to Stadium Page, who must have taken it from here.

I don't think there's a specifically designated "standing room only" section, although this "SRO GEN ADM" ticket from Opening Day 2012 mentions "Standing Room Areas Only."
Essentially, the Standing Room ticket just gets you "in the building," as they say, and as Pete posted, you can stand and watch the game from anywhere in the concourses, just as you would if you had a ticketed seat and decided to get up and walk around for a while.

No....THIS was the source article from MetsPolice.

I think you can....according to the All Star Game FAQ section:

It says somewhere that you have to specify which fanfest date you want, but there doesn't seem to be a place to do that on the electronic invoice.
Also, each seat gets two fanfest tickets, which means four per pair. Think all four fanfest seats have to be for the same date?
I looked at this quickly yesterday so maybe I missed something.
I am having trouble logging in to see my invoice.. Anyone else have this issue? Can't seem to get the mlb.com account to link to my ticket account... any help would be much appreciated..
My rep told me I will get a email fromMLB to purchase the extra tickets for the ASG. I will be given a date-time to log in and pick from availability.
This happened to me yesterday but then it came up ok later in the day. Maybe my invoice wasn't posted yet, which could be what's happening to you as they have a lot to post.
Also, I had set up my login using my Mets account number, not an MLB e-mail address, if that helps.
I don't find these prices surprising at all. They are entirely in line with the 2008 game and there are many less seats.
Yes, I will eat money on the Futures Game, but should be able to get back at least face on the HR Derby.
It is worth it to me to be able to go worry free to the All Star Game.
