Isles Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 What is up with this crap??? An online registration is now open for the opportunity to buy tickets to the 2007 Opening Day and Yankees vs. Mets ("Subway Series") games to be played at Shea Stadium. Individuals chosen through the online random drawing on mets.com or losmets.com will have the opportunity to purchase tickets to these selected games. This drawing will be held on or about Monday, February 19, 2007. The online random drawing will be the sole means of purchasing single game tickets for the home opener against the Philadelphia Phillies, Monday, April 9 and the Mets-Yankees series May 18-20. The Mets have launched the online ticket registration to provide fans a fair and convenient way to purchase tickets from the limited availability for Opening Day and the Subway Series. The limited inventory is a result of a significant increase in year-to-date sales of Season Tickets, Ticket Plans and Packs, which also offer tickets to Opening Day and the Subway Series.

LorfTVP Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Sox have the same thing but then the entire fanbase is online at one time and the odds of you getting through the lottery are slim to none. I mean, for regular Sox tickets it started at 10 am and I couldn't get out of the waiting room until 6 pm. It'll be worse when the Yankees series go on sale separately...but if you have the same lottery system then have multiple computers and a lot of free time.

gateb Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Awesome, i got the email. I'm gonna sign on at 10 on the dot on Sunday. Im planning on going to Phils game and Saturday Yanks game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got two computers, I'll leave a page open all day on both. Of course, our fanbase isnt exactly the Sox fanbase. If the drawing is at 10, can I log in beforehand? btw, do the Sox have the same thing in having a lottery to be part of this ticket selling thing? I'm sure the Mets limited down some possible ticket buyers with this lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think you're gonna have a tough go of it considering that the Mets fanbase isn't exactly miniscule...but prove me wrong, for your sake. The way it worked with the Sox was that you could sign in before 10 and you'd be put in a waiting room where it counts down from 30 seconds and automatically refreshes every single time. Eventually, if you're chosen from the waiting room (the lottery part), you'll get a chance to buy a ticket but ONLY for the game you clicked on to get to the waiting room in the first place. I hope your system works better than ours did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your system works better than ours did. The differences that have me optimistic is that Sox fans are the ultimate die hards... I wouldn't feel good going up against Red Sox fans in a line for tickets... it would never end. 20,000 less seats too. I have to go to a family thing for about 1, so I'll use both computers in the house for 3 hours each. I can't believe I actually won this part of the lottery, I never win this.

so-cal dub Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Anaheim started doing that 2 years ago when the Yanks come into town. I think it's complete bullshit because when you do get through you sit by yourself and your in the nose bleeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's complete bullshit because when you do get through you sit by yourself and your in the nose bleeds. The Mets way is actually pretty good. It's a total of 6 cumulative for 4 games. So I can get 2 for Phils game, and 4 for Yanks game. Do the Angels have that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gateb Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 ive got tix lined up for Phils and Yanks game but I can't get through to payments and that stuff. Is anyone else getting that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I got opening day tix! Section 21 in mezannine section, not too shabby. I wouldve gotten tix to the Yanks game but the seats were too damn high. My problem was never solved. I ordered on a different computer and it took me 2 seconds. Go figure. Anyone ever been in Mezannine in the upper rows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandolphScott Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 o figure. Anyone ever been in Mezannine in the upper rows? You`re not gonna see the Diamond Vision or high flyballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gateb Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 You`re not gonna see the Diamond Vision or high flyballs. ya i figured that much. is row m considered upper rows? It seems borderline to me. It'll be good to be under the roof if it drizzles like last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
