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. You can also contact: WWang@nymets.com.
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.
Just for your information:
The Subway Series is a series of Major League Baseball games played between teams based in New York City. The term’s historic usage has been in reference to World Series games played between New York teams. The New York Yankees have appeared in all Subway Series games as they have been the only American League team in the city, and have compiled an 11–3 record in the fourteen championship Subway Series. The rivalry between the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers, both of the National League, from their origins in the 1880s until both left the city after 1957 was not considered a Subway Series. Since 1997, the term Subway Series has also been applied to interleague play during the regular season between the Yankees and National League New York Mets.
