METS INTRODUCE METS FLEX, A NEW FLEXIBLE TICKET PLAN AS PART OF 2025 SEASON TICKET MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM

 

Mets Also Unveil New Creative Campaign Focusing on Making Memories at Mets Games

 

FLUSHING, N.Y., September 5, 2024 – The New York Mets today introduced Mets Flex, a new flexible ticket membership plan for the upcoming 2025 season. Mets Flex includes six different pricing tiers for fans and provides access to a range of marquee games during the 2025 season. 

 

Based on market research and ongoing feedback from the Mets fan base, it became clear that fans desire to have greater control and flexibility around which games, and how many, to attend without being locked into a traditional, fixed season ticket package. With this flexible membership program, Mets fans can select from six different tiers and add a minimum spend to a “bank,” which can be used to buy tickets throughout the season at their convenience.   

 

“Our general approach going forward is to be far more fan centric, enhancing our fans’ accessibility to games through structured discounts and the ability to sit in different areas around the ballpark for a customized experience,” said Jake Bye, Senior Vice President of Ticketing at the New York Mets. “This flexible option was something we heard consistently from Mets fans and using that feedback and the data research from our analytics team, we created multiple program tiers designed to give fans even more options to create a package that meets their unique needs.”

 

The 2025 season-ticket renewal period is currently open until September 16th for existing members. Beginning today, new 2025 memberships will be available to purchase. Single game tickets and other packages are subject to dynamic pricing and will be available at a future date.  Benefits of being a season ticket member include early access to Citi Field special events; food, beverage and parking discounts; the convenience of preemptively exchanging tickets; Post Season access, and access to exclusive experiences and events throughout the year.

 

Memories are Stories Waiting to be Told

Further supporting the season ticket renewal window and the new Mets Flex plan, the Mets have also introduced a new creative campaign which will be running across digital, social and linear television. Leaning into the nostalgia of baseball, the new short film and commercial spots focus on the life-long memories that are created at Mets games, whether that be an iconic moment on field or connecting with friends and family in the stands. Watch the full spot here.

 

“Going to a baseball game is more than just a sport. It’s a collection of moments, stories and experiences that bring people together in unique ways and create lasting memories,” commented Andy Goldberg, Chief Marketing Officer, New York Mets. “These unforgettable memories become the stories we pass down to family and friends. This new campaign shows that it’s not always the play on the field, but the time spent with our family and friends that we remember most.”

 

The new making memories creative will begin going live today across social, digital and television.

 

Fans can learn more about the exciting opportunities to become part of the Mets Season Ticket Membership family with the Mets by visiting www.mets.com/memberships.

Hudson Yards Casino Video Renderings

 


From the NY POST

Stunning new video shows what a proposed glitzy $12 billion casino complex in Hudson Yards will look like while walking the High Line.

The animated rendering of the ambitious Manhattan project by Related Companies and Wynn Resorts is partly aimed at countering opposition from advocates of the High Line park and other critics who claim the plan would be too intrusive and obstruct views.

The video tries to make the case that the proposed complex — including a 5.6 acre park and spacious greenery between and around the buildings — actually blends in well with the High Line and the waterfront.

 

The plan features an 80-story tower overlooking the Hudson River that would house a gaming facility and hotel. Office buildings, apartment towers, and the spacious 5.6-acre park would surround the gleaming casino skyscraper.

Tourists walking along the High Line would wander directly past the site and could enter the massive resort between West 30th Street and 33rd streets and 11th and 12 avenues.

The tower housing the casino would include street-level shops and restaurants, with gaming facilities on the second and third floors. Plans call for a pool deck and green and then 1,700 hotel rooms.

 

The casino would make up just 3.6% of the square footage of the entire project but be its revenue generator and jobs creator.

Proponents say the centerpiece of the development would be the proposed Hudson Green, a 5.6-acre public green park designed by the award-winning teams of Hollander Design and Sasaki, as part of the a master plan devised by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.

Notice this proposal isn't to be put on NYC parkland.
