The Stephen Strasburg Impact On Ticket Sales
Thursday, July 1st, 2010As we all anxiously await Stephen Strasburg’s start against the Mets on Saturday, I thought it would be interesting to reach out to my buddies over at SeatGeek to get an idea of the impact on ticket prices for Nationals games since Strasburg was called up. Take a look at the chart below (click to expand). As you can see (and as I expected) prices for Strasburg starts are some of the highest you’ll find for Nationals games.
Max over at SeatGeek also says that “80% of the secondary market tickets bought for Strasburg’s start this Saturday were bought since Strasburg’s debut on June 8th.” I assume that means a good number of Mets fans will be making their way down to Washington this weekend for the game.
SeatGeek has some pretty good deals for upcoming Mets home games so if you are looking for tickets, check these out:
Cincinnati Reds at New York Mets – July 7, 7:10 pm
Atlanta Braves at New York Mets – July 9, 7:10 pm
Atlanta Braves at New York Mets – July 10, 7:10 pm

Update On Megdal For GM Campaign
Monday, June 21st, 2010Latest update from the Megdal For GM camp:
Howard Megdal recently challenged former Mets General Manager, Steve Phillips to a debate but apparently Phillips wants no part of this. I personally would love to se Steve Phillips respond and accept the challenge. If you feel the same, go here and urge Steve Phillips to change his mind.
Also, check out the newly released “Beyond Belief” ad from Howard Megdal.
