@QBConvention is totally sold out. There aren't any more tickets.Please stop asking.
First of all I want to thank ll of you who have bought tickets to the SOLD OUT QBC 2019, we really appreciate it. For all you folks that have had interest in the QBC and tried to buy tickets and got shut out, we told you to buy your tickets early because from the first day we went up for sale with them on Black Friday they moved quick. Saying that, thank you for wanting to buy tickets. We wish we had a bigger venue to accommodate more folks but it's can't happen with QBC 2019 and thank you for understanding that.
Now for all you folks that keep DM'ing, emailing, texting, and commenting on FB. WE DON'T HAVE ANYMORE TICKETS!!! THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NONE LEFT. PLEASE STOP ASKING! Check twitter and FB and see if anyone might have an extra or can't go.
We have had a guy tell us he's going to tell his friends to boycott us in the future because he kept getting shut out of tickets. Tickets were on sale for a whole month. I don't know how you kept getting shut out for a month. "I reeeeeeaaallllllyyyy want to go to your event, so I am going to tell my friends to boycott future QBCs". That guy is probably thinking if a few of his friends don't go he might have a shot of buying tickets.
Another guy wants us to move it to Sunday because it's his only day off. Come on man....
Yet another guy told us that he just heard about QBC but it was sold out already when he went to Eventbrite to buy tickets. He then said that he saw the single admission/single auto ticket was sold out and only the single admission/two auto tickets were left and he was hoping that single admission/single auto tickets would be released again before the event. So what was it? Did you get to eventbrite and everything was sold out or were there only single admission/two auto tickets left?
Folks. I am really trying to not to be a jack ass about this. Dan and I bust our asses putting this together every year. For most of the leg work it is just the two of us doing all the work. As we get closer we get 2-3 more folks who jump in to help us with some more of the work. The day of the event there is about 25 folks who volunteer and help us out. We knock this all out in a day. Set up/doing the event/breaking down. We get to Katch at 7am set up until doors open at 10:30am then are in constant motion until 7:30 pm. That's 12 1/2 hrs. Figure another 2 hrs to break down everything, that's a 14 1/2 hr day. 14 1/2 hour non stop day. I also work 80 hr weeks at work. So that will turn into almost a 100 hour work week for me. I need Sunday to just be in a coma all day to recover for work Monday. That is why we can't move the event to Sunday or do a two day event. I honestly don't think I would survive that weekend. We do this as a passion project. We aren't professional event organizers. We do this because we feel there is a need/want for an event like this for our fellow Mets fans.
Thanks for understanding guys.

I saw Aquaman last night
And I enjoyed a lot of it. Was it a perfect movie. Nope. Did it do a good job making a C-List superhero feel fun? Yep. Did it seem like Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor Ragnarok influenced some of the look and sound of the film? Yep. Did I hate that? Nope.
There was a decent story and it felt like it was four or five different movies in on. There was a pirate movie, horror movie, adventure movie, romance movie, and a war movie. This worked out great because this was just as if it was a story arc in the comics. I’m also trying to be as vague as possible with my thoughts without giving away any spoilers.
I am glad that DC/WB has finally figured out that folks really don’t want all their comic book superheroes all grim dark and Batman like. You know what movies that works for? Batman movies.
It’s an enjoyable flick much better then Sony’s Venom.
@QBConvention is four tickets away from a sellout
Hey guys. we keep telling you we were going to sell out. We are at the precipice of this happening. There are only four tickets left. That means we should be sold out by sometime today. If you were looking forward to going to QBC 2019, this is probably going to be your last chance in doing so. Also if you need a last minute Christmas gift this might be the thing to grab.
Look what we got going on here...State of the Mets Panel, Uni Panel, Meet the Mets (Execs) Panel, Baseball Night NY and She Anything Podcast Panels, Mr Met, Seagull(s) from The Brooklyn Cyclones, Vendors, games, food, drinks, and fun. DON'T MISS OUT

Mike Piazza's wife hated his soccer team buy.
This made me laugh.You all know I can't stand soccer. I am not going to knock anyone one who enjoys it because to each their own but when I saw that Mrs. Piazza wasn't a fan of buying into "Pittsburgh" it made me laugh.
From the NY Post
Read more here.“Who the f–k ever heard of Reggio Emilia?” said Alicia Piazza, 46. “It’s not Venice. It’s not Rome. My girlfriend said, and you can quote this — and this really depressed me. She said, ‘Honey, you bought into Pittsburgh.’ Like, it wasn’t the New York Yankees. It wasn’t the Mets. It wasn’t the Dodgers. You bought Pittsburgh!”Of course, Piazza’s idea of resurrecting Reggiana didn’t work out. Piazza hoped to reshape the club and raise it from Italy’s third division to Serie A, in which it last competed in 1997. However, numerous financial missteps that are detailed in the piece showed how Reggiana wound up failing and declaring bankruptcy in July.“It was f–king hell,” Alicia told the website of the June 2016 purchase over wine and cheese.
@MrMet is coming to @QBConvention 2019
In a move sure to annoy Noah Syndergaard, Mr Met is returning to the QBC. He has been joining us since the inception of our joyous January joining of Mets fans. Welcome back buddy!
Also the Brooklyn Cyclones will be sending over either one or both of their wonderful seagulls to come hang with us also. Mascots !!!!

@metspolice to moderate Meet the Mets(Execs) Panel At @QBConvention 2019.
So the guy that the Mets intern number 5 won’t send Press Releases to, is hosting the Meet the Mets(Execs) Panel At QBC 2019. Shannon Shark aka @metspolice of Metspolice.com is our choice to moderate this panel(he was our last choice).
In the past the Mets have sent some great executives to do be asked questions that we as fans have had before. Whether it be a concessions question, social media, or ticketing, the Mets execs let the fans know what goes into making and enforcing the policies that they have.
This is a great panel to check out especially if you have a question that’s isn’t about the on field product and you need it addressed.

@QBConvention News: 25 Tickets left and @metspolice "Announcement"
I keep telling you guys to buy your tickets for QBC 2019 and not to wait. We sold 10 tickets yesterday and our inventory is now down to 25, TWENTY-FIVE, veinticinco tickets. In theory if we have a sales day like we did yesterday we could be a sellout by Friday. I don't want to have to be getting emails asking if there is any other tickets that are available after we sell out. I do feel bad that folks want to come but can't now because of ZERO inventory.
We have Keith Hernandez, Edgardo Alfonzo, and Ed Kranepool doing panels and signings. SNY is bring the Shea Anything Podcast and Baseball Night New York(Doug Williams, Andy Martino, Sal Licata, and Todd Zeile). We will have The State of the Mets Panel, vendors, mascots, games, great food and friends.
Grab your tickets at www.queensbaseballconvention.com
Now so he will stop whining. Shannon Shark of Metspolice.com(also one of the original founders of the QBC) wants us to make sure we tell you that he is doing two panels at QBC 2019. One is TBA but the other is the Uni(jersey) Panel. Since Shannon has a lot of thoughts on Mets jerseys over the years we thought he might be one of the right guys to do the panel this year. Also because our other six choices for hosts said they couldn't do it.
Here is the press release we did for it on Dec 4th..
Ladies and Gentlemen. Children of all ages. Allow me to make this announcementGrab your tickets now guys....
to you all.
The fan favorite Uni Panel is returning to the Queens Baseball Convention In 2019.
This time it will be hosted by none other then that curmudgeon from Metspolice,
Shannon Shark.
This panel will include Todd Radom (ToddRadom.com), Russ Gompers (Stitches),
Uber Collector Jessie Burke, and possible on more guest(waiting on confirmation).
This year the guys will be talking about “promotional” Jerseys, throwbacks, one offs, etc.
This is going to be a fun Panel and probably educational too.

METS SIGN OF RAJAI DAVIS TO A MINOR LEAGUE CONTRACT
METS SIGN OF RAJAI DAVIS TO A MINOR LEAGUE CONTRACT
FLUSHING, N.Y., December 17, 2018 – The New York Mets today announced that the club has signed outfielder Rajai Davis to a minor league contract and invited him to major league spring training.
Davis, 38, has played in parts of 13 seasons in the major leagues with seven different organizations. He spent the 2018 season with the Cleveland Indians and finished batting .224 (44-196) with 33 runs, six doubles, one triple, a home run, six RBI and 21 steals in 101 games.
The right-handed hitter owns a career .262/.311/.379 slash line with 224 doubles, 43 triples, 61 home runs, 379 RBI and 415 steals. He trails only José Reyes and Ichiro Suzuki among active players in career stolen bases.
Mets trying to sell you on $99 ticket package option, but it’s sold out?
Might be time to update that promo/graphic.
Click here to see if you can find any $99 tickets.
Thanks DHAP for pointing this out.
Is there a culture change happening at Citi Field?
The Mets customer service is responding quicker to issues presented by fans on twitter. Jeff Wilpon has been popping up more in “public” and not just hiding behind his curtain up in the Emerald City.
The GM is making moves with signings and trades. Even though not everyone is sold on the Cano/Diaz trade, at least they are trying to do something that they haven’t done in years. Make the team and organization better.
I’ve become known by Mets fans as one of the guys that has the Mets ears when it comes to fan customer service. And so far this is the first off season where I haven’t gotten a lot of complaints about the ticketing or the way employees of the Mets have treated fans. That’s a positive that folks won’t see written in the papers but just in blogs like mine.
Then Chief Brodie has come in making moves. It’s weird seeing moves being made. I think I’ve been conditioned by the Mets over the last almost decade that they will usually just do one “big” move and that’s it. Hey we signed so and so. We made a big move, huuuuuggggeee. And now we got a reliever that’s been hurt for 2 yrs on a bargain. It’s a win win for us. Low cost and if he does well woohoo!
Hopefully this change of culture continues and the Mets can kee morphing into an elite organization and a contender year after year for a while.

The Mets agree to a deal with Wilson Ramos
Free-agent catcher Wilson Ramos came to terms on a two-year, $19 million contract with the Mets on Sunday, a source told MLB.com. Daniel Alvarez Montes of El Extrabase was the first to break the news. The club has not confirmed.The deal is pending a physical.
This is a great move. Well I can't really tell if this is a great move on the field yet but it is great deal on paper and awesome to see the Mets are trying to be a real ballclub. This is going to be great topic for The State of the Mets panel on Jan 19th 2019 at QBC 2019.Ramos' signing likely means the end of the Mets' pursuit of Marlins catcher J.T. Realmuto after New York was previously considered the favorite to acquire him. Rosenthal said the Mets met with Yasmani Grandal, the other top free-agent catcher on the market, last week, but found the asking price too steep and didn't want to surrender the Draft pick it would take to sign him. The club was also reluctant to create holes elsewhere on the roster by trading for Realmuto.
