Mets to celebrate start of summer with special ticket offer

FLUSHING, N.Y., June 20, 2012 – The New York Mets today announced they will celebrate the start of summer with a special ticket offer for Subway Series games this Friday and Sunday nights at Citi Field.  A limited number of Field Level Seats will be priced at tonight’s official game-time temperature. Tickets will go on sale at 7:15 p.m. this evening at Mets.com, the Citi Field Box Office, and (718) 507-TIXX.

Tonight’s game-time temperature is expected to be 93 degrees, which would translate into a ticket price of $93 for Left Field Reserved tickets for Friday’s game (currently priced at $115). For Sunday’s game, Field Box tickets would be sold for $93 (currently priced at $136).  Quantities for both games are limited.

The Subway Series at Citi Field starts this Friday at 7:10 p.m., followed by a 7:15 p.m. start Saturday and 8:05 p.m. start Sunday.  Tickets for all three games are available at Mets.com, the Citi Field Box Office and (718) 507-TIXX.

Fans are encouraged to use mass transit to get to Citi Field this weekend. The 7 train is the fast, convenient, and “green” way to travel to the game. The Mets-Willets Point stop is adjacent to the Jackie Robinson Rotunda.  The Long Island Rail Road’s Port Washington Branch from Penn Station or Woodside has half-hourly service with the ride from Manhattan just 16 minutes. For those coming from the northern suburbs, all Metro-North trains on the Hudson, Harlem and New Haven lines connect with the 7 train.
