Where are all the Mets Fans today, beautiful day for a game, great pitching matchup, the place is 1/2 empty

So I checked ticket prices for today's game, this is what they had available: amazing nothing for 10-15.00 - no wonder why thier attendance is tanking... do they actually think they can get over $100.00 for all the field seats? let alone 200 plus for the closer ones? Didnt know it was this bad there...

What's going on there? besides obscene Tix prices..

This comment is just pathetic, coming from a Yankee fan... I would list all of the seat prices unused for every Yankee game, but I don't have as much time as Outlaw. As far as the Mets game today, I was planning on going with my kids, but after yesterday's huge tropical storm, we were left flooded and without power up until late morning. Last night's Harvey game pre-sold 30K, rescheduled for September. No one thought there would be a game today, with the forecast, but it cleared up nicely. Still a very small crowd..

Face it - both the Yankees and the Mets have over-priced their tickets and it definitely is hurting attendance. If they lowered some of the pricing, they would sell more tickets and probably wind up with greater revenue. Not as familiar with the Mets, but I think the Yankees got spoiled with incredible attendance figures and kept jacking up the prices. Then, when the recession hit, they found they had over-priced the market. Although they lowered some prices not that long ago, it was not enough to cure the thousands of empty seats. Also, and it pains me to say so, this is not as "fun" a team to watch (over the last few years) as it was throughout large parts of the last two decades.

Settle down BK... Yankee Tix prices for good seats are double, and thats why thier attendance is dropping at least the same as the Mets.. the past 2 years.... Most other teams you can still get an OK seat for around 10-15... 3 years ago you get the blue jays all 81 games for 77.00 for the whole year, sure the cheap seats but just saying... the point was tix prices are off the wall obscene in general for field box seats anywhere...

Little secret, I Grew up huge Mets fan (Hated the yanks as a kid), all the way until around 1990, when I started liking both teams and then of course its been real easy to like the Yanks for the most part the past 20 years. I like both of them equally since 1990, watch the Metsies a lot still, still go to games when I am back there.... So I guess im a closet Met fan in some respects.... Now, Islander and Rangers, will never happen- 100% islanders but they have sucked to for 15 years... so out here in LaLA land I can wear a Yankee hat with no Flack, A Mets hat too much excuse making...

BK- What a deal 3 games for the price of one...every fan left gets a foul ball now..

I say 21 innings....

3 players demoted today, Davis, Carson and Baxter. They Should send Collins to triple A too and bring up Backman.
