Mets Trying To Raise Revenue Wherever They Can
I just got this e-mail from the Mets about upcoming promotions. (Yes, I’m on the mailing list.)
I understand that it’s hard to increase ticket prices when your team is not so good, and that there are a lot of empty seats at the stadium, and no one wants to eat the food anymore now that Ryne Sandberg’s intestines exploded from a Shake Shack burger…
But to charge for a post-game concert???
Yes, I know it’s just half a dollar, but it’s the principle of it.
At least the shirts on Friday are free.
But what’s next?
A dollar to watch the manager when the Orioles are in town?
Jeremy Blachman is the author of Anonymous Lawyer, a satirical novel that should make people who didn't go to law school feel good about their life choices. Read more at McSweeney's or elsewhere. He likes e-mail.
Oye. That facepalm left a hell of a bruise on my forehead.
And the line about the Orioles immediately made it worse! Ow, dammit!
whoosh?
