TICKETS ANYONE ?

Citi Field: Seating and Pricing mets.com: Ballpark

Lets just say you want to take in a ballgame. You want to go see your favorite team: the Mets. It's a sunny warm June afternoon and Johann is scheduled to pitch. You go to the web to buy a ticket or you call Citifield or you take the #7 train to Flushing. Now you have to decide among the 39 different seating areas. 39 ! That's right. 39. And then in these 39 categories to figure out the price of today's game you need to know if the game is : Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze or Value. What the #@&*#. Ill make it a little easier for you. The Platinum games are only opening day and the 3 Yankee games. After that --Good Luck.
Does it really have to be this way? Fred Wilpon keeps talking about the good old days. About catching a game at Ebbitt's field to see his beloved Dodgers. You walked up to a kiosk on Sullivan place and bought a box seat or a grandstand seat or a bleacher seat. That was easy! Then you went in and took your seat and root, root rooted for the home team.
Forget the price differences from 1955 to 2010. The fan at least knew where he wanted to sit and where that ticket would place him. I've been to Citifield 20 times and all I know on the above list is the Promenade. And I know that I can't get into the Promenade club unless its printed on my ticket ( it isn't in most cases). And I know that if I have tickets in the best , right behind the plate Promenade seats I can't take my friend who is in a wheelchair because those sections can only be reached by climbing 14 steps from the Promenade food court! ( my heart is still beating fast from last summers game there)
What is a "baseline box gold"? How close to a "baseline box siver" is it? the price difference is after all DOUBLE!. But a baseline box seat is a bargain at $36
I'm sorry -on value days!
Is all this confusion necessary? Can't the Wilpons find an accountant who can figure out how much they need to earn per game and come up with lets say 4 or 5 price levels. And lets lose the OLYMPIC'S color coding system. 5 colors!! the Olympics only give out 3 medals. If the IOC follows the Wilpon method the USA takes home 96 medals this year! " hey mom see my VALUE medal". How proud she will be!
So click on the link above and prepare to be AMAZED. Or so confused you go see the Brooklyn Cyclones instead.
