Going to the Game in 2016

Chad Ochoseis Mar 24 2016 05:55 PM

Yes, we're only ten days away from real beisbol. I'll be wearing my Mets duds to Progressive Field on April 15th (sec 130, lower box in short right field). If I don't get my ass kicked that day by roving hordes of Indians fans, I'll wash those duds and wear them again on April 16 (sec 169, lower box in very short left).

Benjamin Grimm Mar 24 2016 06:12 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

"Progressive Field?" I didn't realize that it's no longer Jacobs Field. Oh well. At least it once had a non-corporate name, so fans can opt to call it by a name other than one from a paid sponsor.

d'Kong76 Mar 24 2016 06:13 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Home Opener and The Piazza Game are only ones's scheduled for me as of now. We should plan a forum game this summer.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 24 2016 06:22 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

I'll be there most but not all Tuesday nights in the Prom. Our family roadtrip has shifted a bunch of times but the current target is St. Louis in August. I'm gonna be a complete DICK out there.

TransMonk Mar 24 2016 06:35 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

I'll be with the 7 Line Army in Milwaukee on 06/11/16 (as well as attending the games on both sides of that one).

themetfairy Mar 24 2016 06:51 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

April 8, April 13, April 30, May 21, May 28 and July 30th. So far. And probably a game our two in Philly, but we haven't planned that far yet. Plus the B-Mets in Trenton for a game or two over Father's Day Weekend (their only trip to Trenton this season).

Benjamin Grimm Mar 24 2016 06:53 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

At this point I have no plans. I expect I'll be making the trip to see a weekend game in May or June. I tend to get to an average of one Mets home game per year, and sometimes I catch a road game. (2014 was a big year for me, by recent standards. One game at Citi Field, and four Mets road games, two in Pittsburgh and two in Seattle.)

Ceetar Mar 24 2016 07:10 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

still annoyed I missed the ticket on-sale date and don't have OPening Day tickets and cheapest on stub hub is 100

Lefty Specialist Mar 24 2016 08:26 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Going to see Mets/Chisox on Memorial Day, 5/30. We'll probably go to a few more, but that's the only one we've firmed up yet.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Mar 25 2016 12:39 AM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Piazza Day, the June 22nd getaway day, and working on some April/May-age.

Ceetar Apr 01 2016 04:08 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Officially going to Opening Day at the low low price of $85.50. bleh. That's premier dynamic pricing for you. that's the cheapest section atm and Stub Hub is still at least $10 more than that. Getting push back on bringing the little one though.

d'Kong76 Apr 01 2016 04:16 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Thanks to The Diamond Knights I've added 04/13 and 05/21 to my early season action. One week 'til Home Opener!!

Mets Guy in Michigan Apr 01 2016 11:13 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

I'm excited that I'll potentially get to see the Mets at least three times this year! A combination of playing the AL Central teams and some nice weekend scheduling is a big help. We'll be at that Saturday Cleveland at Progressive -- which is actually a very, very nice ballpark. Then, we'll be at one of the Milwaukee games. I like that ballpark, too. And, I'll hit at least one of the Detroit games, no matter what day of the week. In the non-Mets game variety, I'm helping my parents in Florida for a little bit. Just missing all the spring training action, which is a bummer. But we're going to the Marlins home opener on Tuesday. And, we have a nice state announcement to make next Sunday at Comerica. Good stuff. My daughter wants to see Washington, DC sometime this summer. I'll plan that trip around a game, but don't know if we can catch the Mets. Lots of new stamps for my MLB Pass-Port! Would love to catch up with any Crane Poolers at any of the Mets games.

Fman99 Apr 01 2016 11:33 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Fboy and I will be attending some matinee at some point this year. Fgirl wants to make a trip as well, she has not ever been to the Citi. Probably that's two separate trips.

Ceetar Apr 02 2016 02:26 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

I'm now also going Saturday the 9th too. two home games in a row (well, 3 really)

d'Kong76 Apr 24 2016 12:31 AM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Feeling spoiled, just got an suite invite to Tues game vs Redlegs. It's a Dog Game, I'm guessing Kasper's not welcome on the Empire level.

d'Kong76 Apr 27 2016 05:19 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

So we were misinformed about last night's exciting win. We ended up getting tickets to The Hyundai Club which pretty decent but the seats were outside (sweet location, close but just high enough so that you can really see everything) but we were a little under-dressed. We had access to a decent free spread and soft drinks and a cash bar. And heat. These tickets were complimentary but it looks like we might be able to buy 2 or 4 tickets from this guy from time to time.

I think I peeked in there for the St. Johns game before they limited club access and it was still called the Champions Club. seemed like a pretty tiny place, but nice vantage point for the game .

The next game I have tickets for is The Piazza Game on 7/30. I need to make it in June once or twice too. We should have some kind of meet-up before The Piazza Game. Beers in bags on Roosevelt Ave, McF's, Irish bar in Woodside... something.

Got 3 upper deck infield seats for $63, including all fees and surcharges. Cheaper than the face value of the tickets, in fact.

What do you do on a Saturday night when your hotel is a block from the ball field and you have nothing to do? Go to another game! This time we will be behind home plate. I think the game is on ESPN since its at 8 so watch for us. I think I'll have on a sky blue shirt and hubby a pirates shirt.

Will be there with Fboy on Thursday and another buddy of mine who is a big Mets fan. Up in 508, if you're going to be there, give me a shout out so we can have some beers and talk about our lady-feelings. Send me a PM here or on Facebook to let me know... Also, because I live upstate and don't know the answer, my buddy is riding down with us and then planning on taking the train into Manhattan to meet his family for a long weekend -- can he just walk up to the 7 train gate (it is the 7, right?) after the game and buy his ticket, and walk on there with a suitcase? Or does he need to buy his ticket in advance, or is there an advantage to doing so? I don't know the trains well enough to be able to say -- aside from taking the Metro North in and out of Manhattan from Poughkeepsie, I have not ever ridden in or out of the city on a subway.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 26 2016 11:32 AM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

By ticket, you mean the train fare? Would be better strategically to get a metrocard before the game than after if you can spare the time. Vending machines are in the station.

Though he could always walk over there and get situated and then meet us at our seats, I suppose.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 12 2016 03:38 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

I left extra time in my biztrip this week to check out Target Field. Poor Twins had a 5-0 lead on Dallas Kuechel on Wednesday night only to be rained out (like, no joke, 5 or 6 inches of rain fell). I went to the regularly scheduled Camp Day game yesterday, Astros took a 6-0 lead after 2 then pulled away, so much so that the Twins brought in shortstop Eduardo Escoabar who pitched a scoreless inning. Astros were killing the ball all day but only managed weak contact vs, Escobar, mostly shallow line drives. I didn't stick around for Game 2, but the Astros crushed them then also. Twins' Kennys Vargas, who's a gigantic guy, had 2 HRs in the loss. Twins look awful in their all-red jerseys but I realized it was probably a Target thing. Very readable scoreboards, a plus. Hard to see bullpens a minus. That they play Peter Cetera's "Glory of Love" during Kiss Cam, big minus. I'm pretty immune to new-stadium-ness. It's nice like most new parks are, and the staff were all "Minnesota nice." Let me stash my suitcase at guest services. I sat right in front of the "Two Gingers" bar which gave me relief from the sun. Food choices were 'eh.' Had a turkey sammish and a local IPA. Best thing about the park was access to the train, it's right downtown, skyline over RCF. Took the train from downtown St. Paul where my meting was to the park, then from the park to the airport, all for $5. In St. Paul I had beers at "Tom Reid's Hockey Town" bar. Reid was a North Stars player and owns the distinction of being the only player ever to score a penalty shot on Ken Dryden. Was also a broadcaster. Just a stoopit amount of hockey stuff on the walls.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 15 2016 10:55 AM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Funny shape? Unless round is funny... No, I didn't notice much odd in the inside. I guess it's a pretty "tight" stadium overall, they stack those outfield seats up pretty high. And as I said I was surprised to realize how "downtown" it was, it's right up against a highway, the commuter rail tracks, other streets and buildings, a plaza that leads to the basketball arena etc. So kudos the the Twins for doing this. I'm not sure where people park. The shape of it only got me as I exited and did 3/4 perimeter where a 1/4 would have sufficed. The train passed the new Vikings Stadium on the way, sort of on the other end of downtown. It's like one gigantic window.

d'Kong76 Sep 08 2016 07:15 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

With 22 games left and only 10 at home I feel the urge to go at least one more time. The Sun game against the Twins is looking good so far...

I've embarrassingly only been to one game. I'd like to take Ceetarette out to one this year, gonna have to be either of those Sundays I suppose, but the 18th is Oompahfest at Plattdeutsch so that leaves the 25th. Though I wanted to get up to the Renn Faire, and apple picking.. Oof. Maybe I should play hooky from work and just go to a night game and leave early.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 08 2016 07:43 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

I've also only been to one game, which is about par for me. The oddity is that I didn't get to a game until September; usually I go in April or May. But this hasn't been at all a typical year for me. I was interested to learn that the Mets have only won ten games this year in which they haven't homered, and the one game I attended was one of them. (Saturday, September 3.) I doubt that I'll get up to Citi Field again in 2016, but if the final weekend in Philadelphia has the Mets playing for a playoff spot, I'll be very tempted to go to at least one of those games.

Happy news!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 09 2016 04:32 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

I have an extra for Tuesday the 20th vs. the Braves, any takers? Bad news is you have to sit next to me.

themetfairy Sep 09 2016 04:52 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Mazel Tov! I think you chose Ceetarette, but I always think of her as Ceetarella.

Maybe I'll make Ceetarette get up with Ceetarette2. I'm assuming taking her to Opening Day and leaving the wife with the possibly weeks old newborn is not a suggested activity.

bmfc1 Sep 12 2016 06:33 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

I'll be at the game this Wednesday.

sharpie Sep 12 2016 08:41 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

and I'll be there on Phriday vs. the Fillies.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 18 2016 04:35 AM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Along with several school buds, YoungerPooper and I will be attending the virgin starting foray of debutante Ms. Gabriel Ynoa tomorrow.

Centerfield Sep 19 2016 02:11 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

I'm supposed to be there tonight. But weather looks like poop.

Ceetar Sep 23 2016 01:38 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

I'm not sure what my plans are for the WC and NLDS right now (pending of course) but I did actually win the postseason lottery to buy tickets a few times so if two of you want to use my extra winning code gimme your email and you can have it. (tickets go on sale in 20 minutes..)

e-mail from the Mets wrote: The following potential 2016 Postseason games at Citi Field will be included in this presale: 2016 National League Wild Card 2016 NLDS Home Game 1 2016 NLDS Home Game 2 2016 NLDS Home Game 3 There's virtually no chance that there will be a third home game for the Mets in the NLDS. The only possible way is if the Mets win the NL East and finish with a better record that the NL West winner as well. If the Mets do make it to the NLCS as the wild card team, Home Games 1 and 2 will be played at Citi Field on Monday and Tuesday, October 10 and 11. The Wild Card game would be on a Wednesday. If any of the games fell on a weekend I'd take a shot at getting tickets, but I can't realistically get to Citi Field for a weekday night game, so I'll pass. (Not that I would have been likely to get tickets anyway.)

d'Kong76 Sep 29 2016 08:04 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

This dude from the ticket office has left me three voice mails and this morning emailed me about the voice mails and wanting to give me a sales pitch. He signed it and said, "GO METS!!!" I emailed him back my ticket-plan situation for next year (not interested) and being the dick that I sometimes can be had to correct him that it's LET'S GO METS!!! I mean geez, know your freakin' stuff if you're gonna try to sell/market it to fans. GO METS!!! Why I oughta...

I picked up one of them a while back and the guy was hardcore pushing despite me pointing out that there were zero benefits to me locking down tickets.

Edgy MD Sep 29 2016 09:26 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

i think the same guy called me.

d'Kong76 Sep 30 2016 02:47 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

For the record, considering I was a lock for a no-sale he did take the time to write me back with a nice note and acknowledged that it is indeed LET'S.

Fman99 Oct 02 2016 01:05 AM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Going to be in Chicago this coming weekend for the Chicago Marathon. If the Mets win Friday night I think I'll be shelling out to attend Mets v Cubs, game 1 Friday night at Wrigley. My first ever postseason game!

Benjamin Grimm Oct 02 2016 02:15 AM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Good luck! I hope you get to go. I can only imagine how much that ticket might cost!

Gwreck Oct 02 2016 02:19 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Cheapest non-standing room ticket is $183 for Division Series Game 1 in Chicago. It's the World Series tickets for the Cubs that will be running in the several thousands on the secondary market.

Edgy MD Oct 02 2016 02:46 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Wrigley is Wrigley, but I can't imagine how useless an SRO pass to a playoff game would be.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Oct 03 2016 02:58 AM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

We've got tickets to NLDS Game 4. Or, rather, Theoretical NLDS Game 4.

Gwreck Oct 03 2016 05:28 AM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

I'll be there Wednesday. I may have missed more of this season than I wanted to (although I did get to about 7 or 8 games) but I haven't missed a do-or-die Mets home game in quite some time. LGM

I think it would be wrong to make the Cubs pay several grand for World Series tickets. After knocking them out 2 years in a row, the Mets should at least comp them a few seats. It's the sporting thing to do.

Chad Ochoseis Oct 28 2016 03:06 AM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

My old college roommate - a native Clevelander and Indians fan now living in the DC area - just called me to say his wife has to work and can't make the trip to Cleveland to go to Game 7 with him. So I'm getting her ticket. If the Indians are up 3-2 after game 5, my rooting interest for Game 6 has now become seriously conflicted.

It's GAME SEVEN. That's awesome.

No he doesn't! He'll look like a fool!

Benjamin Grimm Oct 28 2016 03:28 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

It depends on what's stronger, your rooting interest or your desire to go to the game. If I had Mets tickets for World Series Game 7, and the Mets were up 3 games to 2, I'd be totally rooting for them to win Game 6.

cooby Oct 28 2016 03:32 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

Well yeah, but what if the other team was?

Benjamin Grimm Oct 28 2016 03:33 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

I can't think of any scenario where I'd be rooting for the Mets to lose the sixth game of the World Series.

d'Kong76 Oct 28 2016 03:54 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

I'd be satisfied with the Mets winning it all in a Game 6 while holding a ticket for Game 7. I'd put a frame around it and hang it over the bar (if I had one). Not sure how I'd feel about Chad's scenario; seeing the Cubs continue their century-long failure to win it all at the hands of The Tribe (in Cleveland) would be awfully sweet!

Chad Ochoseis Oct 28 2016 04:14 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2016

If it were the Mets, no question I'd be rooting for a quick end to the WS over a chance to see Game 7. For my AL cheat team, there's less of a pull. And my buddy has said that he'd still root for the Indians to win 6, Game 7 ticket or not.
