Best Time to Buy New York Mets Tickets
The most common question when it comes to buying tickets is, when should you buy? We’ve studied this process for years and have determined many different things.
The sellers of tickets will of course want to sell their tickets as soon as possible. However, they know the sweet spot for when the best time to sell is. Around 7-10 days before the game, is usually when we see the biggest influx of new tickets. This can vary depending on the opponent.
Look for weekday games vs. the weekend to also save some money. We all want to see the star players from visiting teams, but remember sometimes you can save a lot of money watching a weaker opponent. Major League Baseball is filled with 1000’s of games each year. There is always a better time to buy a ticket, just feel comfortable with your purchase and not worry about it.
Where Should You Sit at Citi Field?
The options are wide open when it comes to finding a seat at Citi Field. Let us share with you some sections to keep an eye out for, where you can save some money and much much more.
There are several different levels to consider when selecting a seat at Citi Field. Remember, this park was opened in 2009 and provides spectators with a much clearer view than the old Shea Stadium.
Field Level – This is where you get the most action out of the game. These sections are where the team dugouts are located. Look for sections 111-114 to be behind the New York Mets section and sections 121-124 to sit behind the visitor section. All other sections starting with the 1 will give you a field-level view. You also have bullpen views in sections 101 and 142. These are the first and last sections on the field level.
Within all of these field-level sections, you have access to all kinds of club seats, box seats, reserved seats, and great hook-ups. These areas will be more expensive, but you could find a nice deal if you watch a certain area closely.
Excelsior Level – These are kind of mid-level section around the stadium that is filled with boxes and other cool seating areas. Be sure to price out tickets in the Coca-Cola corner and Bud light Landing. These are some nice seats and the price could surprise you.
Upper Level – Promenade – Although these sections are priced in several different categories, you should consider these seats when you are with a large group. A budget spectator will love these seats as well.
First Data Club – Some great club seat action. Get access to all-inclusive items a private bar, private restrooms, and more.

** Note – Look into the middle of the row to save more. Most likely you want seats on the aisle, but the savings are clear when you purchase the middle-of-the-row seats.

They’ve been in the National League since its first game. They have two World Series Titles and Five NL pennants. They’ve had some great teams over the years and they are working hard to get back to greatness.
