Two prime seats right behind home plate at CitiField are available.
Those seats in either the first or second row behind home plate, a section known as Delta Club Platinum, once belonged to Madoff Securities.
Now the trustee for says they are an asset of the firm and should be monetized.
The seats (not sure if there are 2 or 4, maybe more) go for $695 each for platinum games like Opening Day and the games against the Yankees. They cost $595 for gold games, $495 for silver, $395 for bronze, and a steal at $295 for value games.
That comes out to $40,000 per seat for the season.
"They're paid for. They can do with them what they want to," says Mets Executive Vice President David Howard said.
I think the Mets are going to have alot of trouble selling these high priced seats ($250 and up).
ReplyDeleteMaybe I am wrong, but given the state of the economy I just don't see individuals, or corporations for that matter buying these tickets.
I will be curious to see if they cut prices significantly as the season progresses.
I went online to see what seats were available for the 2nd home game, and there were tons available. Not a good sign.
