Mets Tickets: My 41 Game Ticket Booklet vs T7LA Ticket Booklet

Yes, I have both my regular seats and The 7Line Army seats. I love going to games in the 7line section and also love my seats too. It seems like yesterday everyone was getting their ticket plans in the mail and I was no exception. BTW, I am writing this at 2:15 am after a 19 hr day at work, so I might be surly, cranky, or delirious all throughout writing this post. Now some of you folks are calling the T7LA tickets "Season Tickets". They aren't. Season tickets are 82 games. I have a half season plan at 41 games. We have the T7LA 14 Game Package. It has some differences then regular plans. Let start by saying the 14 game T7LA plan is itself is an amazing thing to happen. A MLB club putting something together like this for fans who support a team the way we do is pretty much unheard of. So kudos to the Mets and to Darren for getting this together.

On to the differences. The T7LA plan doesn't come with a VIP card and isn't a traditional style plan like the Mets sell. With my VIP card from my 41 game plan, I get discounts on merchandise and some other benefits.

One thing I found annoying on social media yesterday. The posting of the " I got my tickets". No. Not annoyed about the people who got their tickets in the mail and were excited about it. I was annoyed by their friends responses. Like, Congratulations!!!.. Congratulations for what? They bough tickets, they knew they were getting them and it's not like they had a kid or won the lotto or something. " Hey guys. I ordered jeans from amazon and they got here!" " Oh that's so cool!!! Congrats!"  grrrrrrrrr
