Now I don't know about you, but where I come from a Monday night against the Nationals is not a Saturday.   In fact Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are also not Saturday.

The Mets can bundle the tickets any way they want, but the whole premise of this blog is that the Mets never ever behave with honor.   Why can't they just call the plan "Plan G" or "Plan 9 From Outer Space" or "Mostly Saturday Plan?"  Why must the Mets insult us.

Moving on, another fan tipped us that the "Sunday" plan (below at the end of the article) does include some Wednesdays, but it does not include the final game of the season.   That alone is making that fan consider not getting a package at all.  I don't know why she cares so much, I would hope that's a meaningless game for once, but she does.

In case you are wondering and would like tickets to that final game, it's part of the "Weekend" plan.  The "Weekend" plan consists of 15 games, 6 of which are played on Saturday or Sunday.   Way to respect the fans.  Why not just have a "Mets Are At Home" package and sneak in some off dates where we can watch the game on whatever DiamondVision will be called at Taxpayer Corporate Field.

Finally, why must they insult us with a $25 service charge?  To mail tickets?  That costs about a dollar.  We're buying them on-line, I bet a computer does the whole process anyway.  

I'd love to hear from anyone who is annoyed about this.  Hit comments.

We have had the Sunday package since 2000. I think we are all supposed to be grateful that we partial plan people are allowed into $iti field at all.

The old Sunday packages were great for people who live 100 miles or more away from the ballpark. It's not fun getting home at 2AM, then have to work the next day.

The 15 game “$aturday plan" is obviously a way to sell 18 tickets instead of only 13.

There are 13 Saturday home games. The package gives you only ten plus 5 weekday games. I’m guessing that they are banking on you to buy tickets for the other 3 Saturdays.
