Amazin Day 2025 vs QBC 2024

 

Dave of Dave's Mets Dugout on Facebook sent this over to me. Since I am no longer a season plan holder I didn't get this. But I am going to pull back one of the curtains about QBC 2023. In 2023 one of the Mets owner's family members attended it and told Dan and myself that he didn't understand why the Mets didn't work with us and the QBC was something that his family members would love to be a part of.Our info was taken and we were told they would get in contact with us before the next QBC. Guess what? No one ever got in contact with us and then in September I think Amazin' Day was announced. I was told that this was going to be similar to the FAN FEST the Mets ran in 2020. 

Wow. $950 for a VIP ticket? VIP ENTRANCE/FAST PASS. Guaranteed Seating for Featured Sessions(What constitutes a session?) Reception with Players and Alumni(What does that include?) And More(What is and more?)

What do the VIPs at QBC 2024 include?

VIP ORANGE SEATING PACKAGE $269.99 plus tax/fees

Admission ticket plus a seat within first three rows of audience .One Autograph ticket each for Turk Wendell, Gregg Jefferies, Ray Knight, and Jose Reyes .Four inscription tickets that can be used for one of each Turk, Gregg, Ray, or Jose.Fast pass skip ahead of line for autographs.

BTW the tables are sold out. Our table for four  price is still less than a Amazin' Day Vip ticket for one!

Fast pass skip ahead of line for autographs. Exclusive meet and great with and four autograghs from Art Shamsky.

Now some folks say we charge too much for entry and autos. We are also really a mom and pop kind of event where we don't have a ton of sponsors and we do this as a passion project for our fellow Mets fans. Are we happy to do this? Yes. Is it a lot of work? Yes. Do we make money on each event? Not really. 

We are glad the Mets realize the fanbase wants a fan fest and we are glad the QBC has been a proof of concept and it's a win win for fans. I hope it's a good event and it is different enough that the QBC and Amazin' Day can live together. Personally am I bummed with all the being told the Mets wanted to talk to us about the QBC? I am. All it has made me and Dan want to do is put on the best QBC yet.

Oh one more thing. We don't know if the Amazin' Day is just for Plan holders or for everyone yet. I guess we'll see if they sell out their presale or not.
