QBC 2024 pricing vs other event pricing.

 

This is an interesting kind of event. It’s a Q&A with a free drink with no mention if any folks can get anything signed and it comes to over a $100 dollars to watch Strawberry, Keith, and Doc sign jerseys for Mohegan Sun’s area. I guess it’s cool and all three have been at QBC’s in the past and they have great stories. Doc hasn’t had an “official” appearance yet at QBC but was brought in by Coach’s Collectibles for a signing at his table.

This is the stuff that drive me crazy when folks say the QBC is expensive. We try to keep our pricing as cheap as possible for an all day event. Our GA ticket comes with the opportunity for free Turk Wendell auto. We didn’t  have to give the Turk auto opportunity but we did so to help take the sting out of the GA ticket price a bit.

You can come see for yourself at QueensBaseballConvention.com for yourself at what kind of event that we have.

How do I feel about this Mets Season?(also QBC AD)

 

The 2024 New York Mets. In the beginning of the season this team had no heart. No identity. No Soul. The team was not fun. For me, it was a chore to go to the games. If I didn't sit with the7line Army and my friends there I wouldn't have gone to many games. The Mets cut the dead weight, made some trades and the team started believing in each other. The pitchers that weren't supposed to be any good got real good. The hitters that no one had faith in became hitters. Grimace made himself a Mets icon. There was controversy over Hailey Welch throwing out a first pitch. A current Met came out with the theme song for these Mets that charted on Billboard. They went to London. This team became fun. Going to games became fun and not the chore that it felt like at the beginning of the season. The playoffs weren't something the fans ever expected this year because this season was just supposed to be a competitive team year but not a playoff team year. The Mets were one step away from going to the World Series after all this craziness this season. Where do they go next year with this to build on? Do they get Juan Soto? Will Pete Alonso come back to the Mets if they don't over pay for him? What about the pitchers? 

You know where us fellow Mets fans can discuss this? At the QueensBaseballConvention.com on Saturday December 7th at Four Points Flushing. We have a panel run By Mark Healey. Mark brings in some of today's best media folks to discuss where the Mets are heading in the next season. I don't think we have had such a positive outlook since 2015. 

Besides The State of the Mets Panel, we have Panels and Signings by Turk Wendell, Gregg Jefferies, Ray Knight, and Jose Reyes(brought in exclusively by Coach's Sports) along with two panels from SNY and also a Til Mets Do Us Part Podcast panel.

I ended up having a lot of fun this season watching the Mets play after May and. I am really looking forward to next season and this year's QBC. Click here for tix and info. I'm not upset that they didn't win the World Series, would have it been great but the Mets weren't even supposed to be where they were at all.

Let's Go Mets.

THE TEMPTATIONS TO PERFORM AT GAME 5 OF NLCS ON OCTOBER 18

 

 

THE TEMPTATIONS TO PERFORM AT GAME 5 OF NLCS ON OCTOBER 18

 

                       Legendary and critically acclaimed multi-Grammy Award winning recording group The Temptations will perform the National Anthem at Game 5 of the National League Division Series on Friday, October 18.

 

                        Additionally, The Temptations will perform their first #1 Pop song and Mets SS Francisco Lindor’s walkout song “My Girl” prior to Game 5 on the field immediately following the National Anthem.

                       

Possible World Series Ticket Prices are insane!

 Wow. This is insane! There has to be something done with this dynamic pricing bull crap. How are long term fans supposed to support their team? How are you supposed to take a family of  three or four to a World Series game? Thieve prices you can take a family vacation and still  have money left over. I know folks who don’t pay this much for a twenty game plan at Citi Field. Hey MLB, next time you are wondering why the next generations aren’t into baseball please realize that it’s because you aren’t letting them make memories in person. As an entity, you guys want to make as much money as possible and I get it but you folks are only looking short term and showing you don’t care about the fans. You aren’t even trying to hide that fact any more.

Thanks Mark for the tip.

Anyway you know what’s priced affordably? The Queens Baseball Convention on Saturday Dec 7th. Jose Reyes, Ray Knight, Turk Wendell, Gregg Jefferies will all be doing panels and signings. SNY will be doing two panels and brining in their on air personalities. We have vendors, prizes, and more fun!
