it's going to be a disaster , under 2 million.

No way, they'll draw well over 3 million, they're going to win the FUCKING PENNANT DON'T YOU KNOW.

metsmarathon Dec 29 2011 07:30 PM Re: Mets attendance

i believe the actual gate attendance last year certainly well below two million, but what is reported is ticket sales. i think this year, they'll have trouble giving away season tickets, and if the mets struggle, there'll be no game-day ticket sales either. hell, even if they win the pennant, i don't think they'd hit 3 million. i think the attendance will be so low in the beginning of the season that it'd take half a season of league-leading ball to even begin to fill the house (with mets fans).

Edgy MD Dec 29 2011 07:43 PM Re: Mets attendance

Well, there typically isn't much attendance until mid-May anyhow. So the difference between drawing 13 vs. 18 in the early part of the season isn't as important as drawing 22 vs. 40 mid-summer. So a good start could help. One relevant factor, I imagine, is the administrative staff layoffs. Some of those folks, I assume, were marketing and sales.

Nymr83 Dec 29 2011 08:26 PM Re: Mets attendance

I can see them salvaging 2.1 with late season moves like "bring the kids 2 for 1" and the old $5 nights like they had at Shea. The team is going to be BAAAAD and they'll soon realize that lower ticket prices and a prayer for concessions revenue may be their best bet.

Edgy MD Dec 29 2011 08:32 PM Re: Mets attendance

Well, they've already lowered ticket prices.

Edgy DC wrote: Well, they've already lowered ticket prices. But when the losing comences people wont see last year as a baseline when looking for a bargain, I think the team will have to lower them beyond their listed prices at the beginning of this year.

Ceetar Dec 29 2011 08:47 PM Re: Mets attendance

It's so hard to tell because it's so results driven. They're presumably healthy so a hot start from Ike and Duda especially coupled with Santana staying on the field could lead to April excitement and prompt an attendance drive. (There's also the idea that 2013 renewals get dibs on the All-Star Game, and you know they're going to hype that very fact in the 'buy the rest of September' marketing drive. Except they lost Reyes. And that's going to be a big blow, both in the chances they win as many games and in the convincing anyone to go see a middle of the pack type team, if it even turns out to be that. If Reyes was here I feel like they're so far removed now from the collapses and disaster that the marginal improvement over last year with some excitement with some of the younger guys would've drawn interest. Now they'll be seeing as spiraling downwards with no hope in sight instead. But who knows, maybe it works to the Mets advantage (just due to luck, something will one of these days..) They're going to be viewed as a 70 win last place disaster, so if they come out winning games and surprising people, the differential from expectation may turn into excitement. So hey, I'm gonna say they're going to have a bounce back season, coupled with a fairly substantial step back from Philly and the possibility of a 5th playoff team (has that been determined?) gets them pushing 2.4ish.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Dec 29 2011 08:54 PM Re: Mets attendance

As Edge said, it's been a WHILE since ticket sales were sub-2 million, and all but ten teams topped it last year (Christ, the Marlins drew 1.5). Ticket prices are comparable to the movies, or beach pricing, or other summer family/date/group outing options. If the weather is nice, a day at the bargain-basement-tickets-priced-to-move ballpark makes for a nicer outing than a trip to see Elongated Man: The Movie or Saw 7: Murdering the Chicks From Those WB Shows in Increasingly Lurid/Creative Ways. I'll go with 2.3ish announced.

MFS62 Dec 29 2011 08:59 PM Re: Mets attendance

I think this team will be very watchable. I'm not saying they'll be good, but it is an old sports adage that "offense puts fannies in the seats". And I think the offense, especially with the moving in of the fences, will be worth watching. The pitching may be worth cringing, but that's going to lead to a lot of exciting 6-5-type scoring games. The heart of a lineup with Murphy, Wright, Davis, Bay and Duda will produce enough offense to keep the fans interested, and watching, until the young pitchers are ready to contribute. I'm guessing 2.4 million. Later

The S&P weighs in: S.&P. also described as “aggressive” Queens Ballpark’s preliminary projection that attendance will rise to 2.5 million in 2012 from 2.29 million last season. It said that attendance was likely to keep falling and that a third of its luxury suites are up for renewal in 2012. http://bats.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/12/2 ... nds-sours/

Edgy MD Dec 30 2011 08:30 AM Re: Mets attendance

Good luck. But fan revolt pretty much never, ever works. If the team fails, yeah, folks will stay away, as always. If it somehow finds a way to prosper --- if only modestly --- you can still stay away on principle and send your message, but somebody else will be happy to grab your seat. Philadelphians and Washingtonians even. Bostonians and Baltimorans and Yankee fans who can't buy their way into the big house but need to feel the satisfaction of taking a heavily discounted shit in Queens. And few extend their boycotts to cancelling their cable subscription because SNY is included as part of the package which means the Wilpons get their chump change anyhow. Ben Grimm is already getting shakey on his promise.

Especially when we don't know the color of the grass on the other side of the fence. It could be worse. I'd rather the Mets make a magical run and the Wilpons are solvent in 2013 then the Mets suck for 3-4 years and they're eventually forced to sell and it then takes even the most magical of owners 5 years to dig out of the dept and negative profit/revenue ratio it pushes them into.

We got to Citi in 2010, so we've both experienced it. Monkier Half actually loves the ballpark. It would be hard to make a trip to New York in the summer and not sneak in a Mets game. The last few times I've gone on pleasure trips to NYC, the trips have revolved around Mets games. We'll see. We've also talked about waiting until 2013 and maybe looking into the All-Star Game. Hopefully, the Wilpons have given up the ghost by then.

themetfairy Dec 30 2011 09:34 AM Re: Mets attendance

I'll go this year. Not as often as in the past, but I'll go. D-Dad loves Opening Day, I'm liking G-Fafif's tradition of being there for closing day, MK likes spending his birthday there, and there are the GKR events which are always fun. And Banner Day, of course, if they ever let us know when they're having it. Other than that, I'm probably not going to go that often, and when I do I'll shop for steals on Stub Hub (I did really well there last year, and this year there should be even better deals available). But I'm done with being a plan holder - it's just not worth it. I was thinking about this last night, and G-Fafif's beautiful memorial column about Greg Spira confirms this - for me, lately, going to games is less about the team and more about being able to spend time with my baseball family. I'm not emotionally invested in this team at all at this point, but Citi Field is where I go to hang out with people with whom I share a common connection (even if it's just our unification in hating the Wilpons).

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Dec 30 2011 10:18 AM Re: Mets attendance

If I buy at all, I'm buying eBay or otherwise direct-from-ticketholder. (StubHub kicks money back the Mets' way, which I dislike on principle under normal circumstances.) Closing Day may be a thing, since Artie and I have done that the last two years.

Fman99 Dec 30 2011 10:22 AM Re: Mets attendance

I've always only gone to a few games per year, living 300 miles away and all. I'll be going at least once, with Fboy, who is now a card carrying member of the Mets Kids Club. Maybe we go twice this year, in 2011 we saw them once in Florida and twice in Queens. Most nights I'm more than content to sit in front of my 55" HDTV with a cold (and cheap) drink in hand, and watch from the comfort of my home.

I agree there, but the small percentage of the transaction fee that's kicked back to the Mets won't make or break 'em. What I did dislike about buying off of StubHUb is that (so I heard) some of the tickets the site offered were team controlled unsold tickets, rather than secondary market tickets. So buying a Met-owned ticket on StubHub was like buying directly from the Mets ticket office. Anyway, the Mets will use a different online service in 2012, right?

"Quality of product" = the team you're paying to see. A nice stadium makes for a good experience but people are always going to show up (or not show up) based on the quality of the team, irrespective of the quality of the stadium. 2. Promenade Reserved tickets are $28 (marquee) and $20 (classic) for 2012. I don't see those as all that comparable to a Shea Upper Reserved Seat at $9 in August 2000 at Shea. 3. In fairness, the promenade level is not where the Mets have their big pricing problems, anyway.

It's more of a "spending slowdown." Even in the worst years I was still going to Mets games and I don't think that will change for 2012, the first year in a while that I will be entering the season expecting a last-place finish. From 2005-2011, I was averaging 30-35 games a year. Dropping that to the single digits is a big change.

at the very least they get the ticket sales from selling a game out at World Series prices including all the luxury suites. That's probably well over $5million just from ticket sales. (I think I paid $200 for a my SRO ticket strip in 2006 in Pittsburgh..) There's probably at least some uptick related to season ticket sales from people wanting to have that access. Presumably they get to raise the prices on advertising on all in-stadium stuff, that will be seen on walls during the events.

Nope. From the Major Leage Constitution, Article X, Section 2: All-Star Game receipts from the sale of tickets (net of applicable local taxes) shall be transmitted by the host Club to the Major League Central Fund without deduction for expenses, but the host Club may retain revenues received from related activities until the final accounting and settlement. The net proceeds of each such game and related activities after the payment of expenses shall be deposited in the Major League Central Fund and shall be credited to the Major League Clubs equally.

Gwreck Jan 12 2012 07:30 PM Re: Mets attendance

They essentially get 1/30th of everything. The MLB central fund receives money from a whole host of sources including, most significantly, national TV rights money. After paying certain expenses and keeping a strategic reserve, the Central Fund makes annual payments of equal amounts to each team.

Current attendance, as per baseball-reference: 2,141,049. If that's accurate through 77 dates, the total through 81 projects to 2,252,272. Seventeen of our voters came in below that and six above it. Congratulations to our lone 2.3 million voter. You (if projections hold) will have come closest.
