Mets Ticket Prices Skyrocket

WNYC Newsroom

NEW YORK, NY August 13, 2008 —Tickets to see the Mets play at their new ballpark are going to cost you.

Tickets prices will increase 79 percent over this year, but executives say that is still a fraction of what you'll pay to see the Yankees.

The most expensive Mets tickets will cost around $495 while the best Yankees tickets will go for as much as $2,500.

So far the high prices don't seem to scaring Mets fans away, all of the most expensive tickets for next year have been already sold along with most of the luxury suites.

And if a luxury box isn't your style, the cheapest seats at Citi Field will run you just about $19.
