New York Mets announce initial 2024 promotions schedule, new Saturday game times

FLUSHING, N.Y., January 31, 2024 – The New York Mets today announced the club’s 2024 promotions schedule at Citi Field. Individual tickets for all home games at Citi Field are currently on sale and can be purchased online at Mets.com/Tickets or calling 718-507-TIXX. The first 15,000 fans will receive promotional items unless otherwise noted.

Over the course of the season the Mets will feature multiple bobbleheads along with an all-new artist series.

The Mets all-new artist series collaborates with well-known artists, who have incorporated their unique artistic style into limited edition items for this season.

Additionally, returning this season are countless fan-favorites including the Mets sports jersey nights alongside multiple new apparel giveaway nights.

Rounding out our lineup of promotions for this season is a tumbler presented by Northwell on Sunday, May 12, a pickleball paddle presented by Citi on Thursday, July 25 and Topps baseball cards on Wednesday, July 31 to the first 10,000 fans.

ADDITIONAL PROMOTIONS AND KEY DATES:

Also new for the 2024 season, all Saturday home games between March 28 and May 25 will feature a 1:40 p.m. start, and a start at 4:10 p.m. between June 1 and September 21. This game time change was driven by the results from a Mets fan survey that indicated nearly 90 percent of respondents favored earlier game times on Saturdays in order to bring kids, family and large groups to games.

On Sunday, April 14, the Mets will retire RHP Dwight Gooden’s jersey number 16 in a pre-game ceremony. Additionally, the Mets will retire outfielder Darryl Strawberry’s jersey number 18 in a pre-game ceremony on Saturday, June 1.
