Who else will be there tomorrow/Sunday/Jewish Heritage Day?[/quote:2mjkhvyi]

[Guest themetfairy]

Val - sorry I missed you. I was already on the train when you posted that message.

[stevejrogers]

Should be celebrating the '69ners on Saturday, and picking up a pretty darn nifty Citi Field miniature on Sunday.

[Guest Kong76]

I'm not going to try and organize it, but we should have a forum tailgate party
on Sunday 9/20 to finish up this mess of a season.

Secondly, I have two tickets for tomorrows matinee. If anyone can use these,
and are willing to pick them up at my office they can have them gratis.

MK and I will be there on the 20th, but we'll be taking the train. D-Dad will be at the Jets game that day.

[Guest Kong76]

That's a start!

I'm trying to plan a bachelor party on Sept. 4th that includes a trip to the Mets/Cubs game. I've got 7 guys, and looking to keep the ticket price to less than $60 or so per person. Gotta say, I'm not too impressed with the options I have (a promenade box way out in RF or the Pepsi Porch).

Anyone have any impressions on the best seats in that price range, or ideas on how not to spend a fortune to be seated a row in front of the cheap seats (in which I'd usually have my butt planted)?

[Guest themetfairy]

Here's what you do - join Club Mets (I think it's $25 to join), and they have a special that night for $25 tix for the Big Apple seating area.

Took the words out of my mouth.

The Big Apple's the area surrounding the homer bowl... and right by the CF food court for Shake Shack, BBQ and dippin' fries runs and fancy beerin'. I'm not sure there's a finer place in the park to spend a late-summer sunset happy hour just before gametime.

[Guest Number 6]

Big thanks to both of you, that's a great idea.

[Guest themetfairy]

No problem. If you go to the game, I'll see you there

[Guest themetfairy]

This probably isn't the most opportune time to post this, but we decided to sell our tickets for next Sunday's game against the Cubs. It's Frankie Rodriguez Bobblehead Day, and there's a Mr. Met Dash for the kiddies after the game.

If anyone is interested in making me an offer, either send me a Facebook message or PM me here.

[Guest themetfairy]

I sold those tickets for this Sunday's game. But I'll be there with D-Dad and MK tomorrow (Friday), and I'll be back Tuesday night.

Six - are you going to be there tonight?

[Guest Kong76]

I'm going to go Sunday by myself (someone might tag along).
If anyone wants to meet for a pop or something lmk

[Chad ochoseis]

What Kong said, except I'm going today instead of tomorrow. I can live without a Frankie bobblehead.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wine tasting Sunday in the Empire Suites.

Are you going to the event, or just mentioning it?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Just mentioning it.

[metsmarathon]

the wifey and i are going to get ourselves a pair of batting practice helmets this friday, when we watch the metsies take on the natinals in an otherwise meaningless game!

[Guest themetfairy]

I'm going to be there on Sunday.

Who aside from Kase will be joining me?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We're going. Where can i find you guys?

[Guest themetfairy]

Kase was talking about meeting in that area of tables near Shake Shack.

Does 12:30 sound like a good time?

[Guest Kong76]

I emailed you the other day, L'grabber ... check your spam folder!
My trains get me there by noon, I'll be milling about in the outfield.
A winning decade lays in the balance!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Don't see it anywhere. Anyways, I'll try and remember Monday's ticket and pass it off to you, my cell # is the same if you have that and I also have sc's number.

I will be with 2 3-year olds so who knows what I'll be able to get away with today.

[stevejrogers]

Well, I'll be at Citi Field on Sunday.

Hey, maybe there won't be a huge line at the Shake Shack!

[Vic Sage]

i gave away my "saturday plan" tix most of the 2nd half because:
1) my seats totally sucked,
2) the games totally sucked,
3) having to go on weeknights for a "saturday plan" totally sucked, and
4) i became bitterly disgruntled at Omar's mid-season failure to address any of the injury issues

i'm not getting a plan next year unless
1) better seats are available and more reasonably priced than they were this year,
2) I don't have to buy weeknite games for a weekend plan, and
3) they fire Omar.

well, if they give me 1 & 2, i guess i'd go even if they didn't fire Omar. But that's how i feel today.

I'm with ya, brutha!

[Guest Kong76]

You've done it now, Victor. Complaining about ticket plans in the
Going to the Game thread and you haven't even been going?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Also hitting up Sunday. Thanks to the Jets resurgence-- hey, cousin of mine, it's a 4:00 START-- I may end up being stag.
