A fan is suing the Mets because he did not get the premium seating he was hoping for on his season tickets for next year. Season ticket holder and celebrity lawyer Judd Burstein says that last year he had reserved "premium seats" at Citi Field similar to the ones he has now on field level along the first base line. But like they did to Fernando Tatis before him, the Mets told Burstein that they are going to need him in the outfield next year--sitting in the upper deck. He says that the team "banished him to the Siberia of the top of the left field bleachers [of Citi Field]." Even though Citi Field will have about 15,000 less seats than Shea, it actually has 7,000 more field level seats, meaning after reserving his seats, "(the Mets) took money and then allowed thousands of others to jump the line," as Burstein puts it. Burstein is suing for compensatory and punitive damages saying the Mets "picked the wrong person to cheat."

Boo-hoo poor little rich guy. Meanwhile, people like me can barely afford one ticket to one game.
good for him
there's season tickets for the bleachers?
aren't the bleachers the seats in the outfield separated from the main venue?
So why is this guy entitled to something more than a refund? You don't like your seat selection, get your money back and don't go. Spend that cash on an extra vacation or something.
Have money, will sue.
15,000 fewer seats, no?
@ Matvey
Fewer seats, it is!
I want to hear him say that he would not use his money, influence or power to jump over other people to get better seats. C'mon, "celebrity lawyer"...say it.
I think "they picked the..Right..person." What a total douchebag. As a lawyer, he's lucky to get any seating at all. If I knew that a lawyer wanted to buy or enjoy any service or ammenity I had, I'd say NO! emphatically. Greedy little suers should be banished to the woods.
I really hate to say it, but this guy has a point. He had great seats at Shea, he put the deposit for seats at Citi, and now his seats are in the upper deck. I'd be pissed, too.
I do wonder if he read the fine print on the ticket offer, though.. I would be very surprised if the Mets lawyers did not have something in there to allow them to treat you like shit.
