Mets: Season Ticket Holders Not Happy

I'll have a post coming in the next few weeks about the netting and how season ticket holders are getting treated with it.

For now, here's one from Ricky....


Hi Goon,

I've had season tickets since 2011, and this year was the worst experience so far. The first issue I had was regarding the Citi gift card that was promised if you paid with a Citi card. It took multiple phone calls and emails to my rep for that to happen.

On top of that, I requested 50 tickets to a subway Series game for a group outing with an open bar. After I received the tickets, I noticed there were no food vouchers or information on the open bar. When I contacted my rep, he said there is no available open bar for that game. So I agreed to a price with an open bar and then after the Mets take my money, they pull the rug right out from
Beneath me. By the way, the people that bought tickets for this group event are not happy. I took money from people while telling them we are getting an open bar, and now I have to regretfully tell them it's not included.

I am not renewing my plan next year. I can go to the same amount of games I go to with a full season plan and pay less money. It's not worth it for me ( or my wallet) to bend over backwards for the Mets. They will not bend over backwards for me.

Ricky


Now, I have a great ticket who I know really looks out for his clients, but I do know there are some reps that aren't that strong with helping out their clients...

So if you guys have tales of horror or tales of goodness from your reps email me at Mediagoon@gmail. Of course Mets please hit me up too if you want to refute anything...

Mets Press Release about Lucas Duda Trade

METS ACQUIRE RIGHTHANDED PITCHER DREW SMITH FROM TAMPA BAY

FLUSHING, N.Y., July 27, 2017 – The New York Mets today announced that they have acquired righthanded pitcher Drew Smith from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for infielder Lucas Duda. Smith will report to Binghamton (AA) of the Eastern League. Smith was the Rays’ No. 30 prospect according to MLB.com.

Smith, 23, was the Tigers’ third-round pick in the 2015 First-Year Player Draft of out Dallas Baptist University before being acquired by Tampa Bay on April 28, 2017 as the player to be named later to complete an earlier trade that sent Mikie Mahtook to Detroit on January 18, 2017.

He began the season with Lakeland (A) of the Florida State League and was 1-0 with a 0.77 ERA (one earned run/11.2 innings) in seven games before being assigned to Charlotte (A) of the Florida State League following the trade. In 20 games with the Stone Crabs, Smith was 0-2 with a 2.20 ERA (seven earned runs/28.2 innings), seven saves and 28 strikeouts.

On July 2, Smith was promoted to Durham (AAA) of the International League where he made one appearance of 1.0 scoreless inning before being assigned to Montgomery (AA) of the Southern League on July 18. In 31 combined games for Lakeland, Charlotte, Montgomery and Durham this season, Smith is 1-2 with a 1.60 ERA (13 earned runs/45.0 innings) with seven saves and 40 strikeouts.

In 79 career minor league games, all relief appearances, Smith is 5-4 with a 1.80 ERA (25 earned runs/124.2 innings pitched) with 13 saves and 140 strikeouts.

Duda, who was drafted by the Mets in 2007, played all of his 760 career major league games for the Mets after making his major league debut in 2010. Duda’s 125 home runs in a Mets uniform are seventh-most in team history and his 71 homers at Citi Field are the most in the ballpark’s history.
