I'm looking at Opening Day and August 19. Beyond that I'm playing the season by ear.

What's 8/19?

Centerfield Nov 14 2016 08:14 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |
Her son's half birthday.
|
themetfairy Nov 14 2016 08:38 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |
And it's after my younger son's 21st birthday, so we'll be able to buy him a beer or two at the ballgame (or hey, he can buy me one!).

Let's go with that!

no, works fine. follow the link, click on 'mr mets kids club' and enter code 'degrom'

it's the same page. mets.com/presale [url]http://m.mets.mlb.com/nym/tickets/info/sgt-presale?partnerId=ed-10985486-943476773 should be lots of different links there. each one with a different easily guessable password. (I imagine anyway. Maybe the partners one has something less obvious, like FredWilponIsTheBest) edit: guessed the Social Media one. It's Cabrera.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 11 2017 06:56 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |
I caved on the "no-fee" online offer this week and went in for the Tuesday Night Plan (no postseason benefits!).
|
Ceetar Jan 12 2017 12:49 AM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |
|
two consecutive years in the postseason? I'd be they're selling more tickets, yes. Also I'd bet they're breaking them up into smaller blocks of availability to different offers expecting to be able to sell the others in different random offers or just on the fly.
|
Fman99 Jan 12 2017 12:42 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |
Fboy and I are most likely to take our annual sojourn during one of these three summer weekday matinees, the only ones on the schedule during the vacation weeks this year.
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 12 2017 01:05 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |
One other weird thing, they "cut me off" at 10 pairs of tickets in that offer, even though I intended to buy 11 (one for each home Tuesday). Not a big deal I suppose as we can pick up a pair for the final Tuesday home game (aka "clinch Nite" Sept. 26 vs. Braves).

Let me know before you buy your tickets!

Fman99 Jan 12 2017 01:28 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |

Absolutely. I know it's not your favorite spot but Fboy and I do like the upper deck promenade seats, as long as they're on the infield. He had trouble following the game from the left field seats we had when we met up with you and D-Dad two years ago. Better seats in lower rows are also fine, as long as they're on the infield, I suppose.
|
seawolf17 Jan 12 2017 03:32 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |

Definitely. Enjoyed that last time. (Does anyone have the pic we took on the Shea Bridge? Did we even take a pic?)
|
themetfairy Jan 12 2017 03:58 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |
|||
My only qualm is that if it's a hot day we could fry in the Promenade. But once we have a date, let's see what's available on StubHub. We could luck out and get something somewhat lower at a good price.
|
Fman99 Jan 12 2017 04:11 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |
||||
We always retreat high enough up into those seats to be in the shade. Fboy's got the same complexion as his mother. Fgirl and I could sit out in the sun all day and we'd be fine.

my experience has been hold out. seems like the best time is 1-2 weeks before the game.

That's the new place right? the one that kept the Nationals from signing free agents? ;-)

I want to go to the game in May where they're giving out David Wright Starting Lineup figures. OLD SCHOOL, BABY.

Tickets for 7/20 matinee are bought! Me and Fboy and Metfairy and a buddy of mine from up here will be in 326, in the shade, watching some Mets baseball. Should be fun.

Benjamin Grimm May 03 2017 06:26 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |
That's where I usually sit. Not sure when I'm going to get there again. I usually try to get to a game before the season has left me demoralized.

Still 9 days away, but I'll be in attendance for 05/12 and 05/13 at Milwaukee. I'm still holding out hope that they be back at .500 by that series.

About 90% certainty that Little Solo and I will be in the Steel City for the Sunday Night game on 5/28. First trip to PNC.

We texted but did not meet. sniff. Unbelieveably stress-free game, almost nothing to say. I mean, Wheeler looked as good as I can remember. Giants are a lot like the Mets, in my expereience. When they're going bad there's nothing worse in the world than them. And unless they get a real left fielder they're going to continue to suck. Conforto's HR off the bat looked "too high" but carried. TJ made a great play there in the 9th and of course smacked the shit out of the ball. He's the guy we play at 3rd, most nights, when Doodoo comes back, at least while he stays hot. I could see that ball off the bag play ruining the night for Familia, so it was big. Plenty of too aggressive bullpenning by Terry. I thought if we got 1 more run in the 8th he's have gone to Montero, but maybe he thought he'd be the best bet to back up the unknown today. Queens Brewery session IPA is not real flavorful. Cold but not frigid. Had a hat and hood, but didn't need gloves and a blanket till the 8th. Mama's of Corona promenade stand not open. Is that usual? Visited the Coke platform seeing if Ochoseis returned to his seat. First time there since they switched sodapop brands Oh, Klassik Rawk pregame concert with Long Island's own WONDROUS STORYS. They actually sounded good for a band playing in a parking lot

Damn, I'm going to be in Buffalo that morning, too, to run a half marathon. If that had been a 1 PM start I could have maybe darted down to catch the game, but, alas, a Sunday night game wouldn't get me back in time to see Fgirl march with the Girl Scouts in the local Memorial Day parade.
|
HahnSolo May 10 2017 06:28 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |

Ahh too bad. This is a case where the night game helps me. I can make the drive out early Sunday, then drive back Monday. For a day game I'd either have to go two nights or get up really early or get home really late.
|
HahnSolo May 12 2017 11:16 AM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |
It's now 100% that we're going (Confirmation gift for the little guy). If any PNC veterans have gameday suggestions please share.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 12 2017 12:14 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |

A few blocks from the stadium (same side of the river, opposite Heinz Field) is a nice row of waterfront bars and restaurants that probably draw significant biz from pre-gamers. IMO, the sandwich with french fries on it, like the Philly cheesesteak, is more of a regional curiousity than something that's actually good to eat. There's a cool science museum, also on that side of the river near Heinz. Try not to fall asleep driving on the PA Turnpike, the world's straightest highway.

HahnSolo May 12 2017 12:26 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |
thanks; we are staying I guess south? Our hotel has a shuttle that takes us to the bridge to walk over.

Finally getting to a game. leveraging Father's Day and going Sunday. Just me and the very recently potty trained older one, so we'll see how this goes.
|
d'Kong76 Jun 13 2017 03:58 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |
I'm sure not having to change diapers adds to the Father's Day experience

Taking my dad to the game tonight, in a virtual recap of him taking me to my first game 35 summers ago. We got first-row seats on the left field fence, which should be fun.

15 hours, door to door, but well worth the trip. Fgirl's first trip to a major league ballpark (she has seen a few Mets ST games but never a regular season one). Good results and good company. Tough day to beat.

I want to sneak one more game in if only for the sake of picking up an Apple ice cream dish. But thinking 9/10 for fidget spinner might be my only chance.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 23 2017 06:06 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |

I got an apple ice cream dish last night. I just figured it was a different shape than the helmet cup but be warned there's like 4 pounds of soft serve in there, and on a warm night that shit will melt much faster than you can eat it, if you can eat it.

I guess I want to spend time and money to see my team lose to a team I despise, sit among the dumbest fans in baseball, in a ballpark that is a half-step up from a good AAA ball park: I will be in 119 tonight (behind home, I'll be the guy wearing the spiffy FAFIF shirt) and in 105 tomorrow.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 22 2017 05:32 PM Re: Going to the Game in 2017 |
Me neither. First year since 2003 that I won't have attended at least one Mets game. First year since 2004 that I haven't attended at least one Mets home game.
