Wow, I have totally neglected this blog all season. I’ve been in kind of a Mets depression since opening day night. Why so sad? Well, I came to realize that was going to be just one of very few games I’ll be attending this year. I don’t want to be a whiner complaining about obstructed views and ticket prices and whatever else Mets fans are complaining about this week. But the fact is, I just can’t afford to spend $30 on a ticket every time I want to go to a game. Jeff can go on and on all he wants about $11 seats. A few weeks ago I couldn’t even find a ticket less than $70 in April or May. Thanks only to StubHub I was able to get tickets to the game on Mother’s Day, a tradition I’ve had with my mom and sister for the last few years. Normally I don’t mind spending a little more on tickets for this game. But spending $70 for seats that were once bleacher seats in Shea isn’t going to happen. Granted, I would have a back to my seat and a nice view of Beltran (ahem)… it’s probably only worth it on opening night.
So this, on top of everything else going on… (Did this really happen???) I haven’t been a huge fan of the Mets organization lately. It has me in some kind of rut that I’m ready to get over and just start enjoying some baseball games.
I hear you! I live 4 hours away from my favorite team (though the Redbirds are an hour away). I mistakenly thought I could get decent tickets for a reasonable price, and boy… was I wrong. We have tickets for one game and I don’t know if we will be able to go beyond that.
