After their horrendous season, the Mets said they would cut ticket prices (with respect to the economy, not just their fans' suffering). The Post reports that the "the team promised ticket prices would drop by an average of 10 percent. But when season-ticket holders received their bills this week for 2010, many were incensed to discover the price cut was as little as a 1 percent." One fan, whose "Promenade Reserve Infield" tickets were $4,050 for two seats last season and are now $3,955," said, "Wow, what a discount." The Mets shrugged, "Obviously, the 'average' means there is some higher and some lower, but the average is 10 percent. We haven't heard outrage about this."

Apparently tired of seeing their Legend Seats empty behind home plate and both teams' dugouts, the Yankees lowered the prices of premium tickets Tuesday and will offer refunds or credits to those that have already purchased seats at the original price. This won't affect most fans who want to go to Yankees games, but those who spent more than $325 on a ticket stand a chance to get some money back or get some bonus seats from the team. Good news for folks saving up for the $2,500 seats—those are now going for only $1,250. Tickets that cost $1,000 have gone down to $650 and so on. Some $2,500 seats have not been reduced, but the team will hand out freebies to those current ticketholders. The team only played six games at its new ballpark, but the sparse crowds in visible seating areas made this action a no-brainer.

Tickets for top of the line Mets tickets at will nearly double next year when they move into Citi Field. That means that seats right behind the dugout will go for just under $500 a pop. At Shea this year, Mets tickets are already the fourth most expensive in the league.
