In case you are curious, the Mets have started to send e-mails to a select group of registered fans letting them know when and how to begin purchasing potential playoff tickets.
No, I am not one of them.
If you are, though, good luck.

I just got my rejection email. I did a few accounts, hopefully one gets lucky.
DAMN I DIDN’T WIN, DAMN METS
ppfffffftttt
I got in
Darn – I lost! Of course this will be more crushing as soon as the Mets make the playoffs!!
man, wouldn’t that be awful…….wait
Yup…my first one was rejected…
If anyone has won and is unable to attend/afford a game please let me know as I would be very much interested.
I lost. I’ll probably pick up tickets to a game on craigslist… :(
My rejection emails have all started rolling in
I got rejected..oh well….
I still have last year’s tickets in a box in my closet…
I burnt mine along with my favorite Mets cap after the Marlins game last year. Purification by fire sometimes is necessary to reach catharsis.
I won, and for anyone who cares, that is surely a bad omen for the Mets.
More like the best omen.
I got in … actually I sent the info to Matt earlier. It is probably a jinx as I got in last year too. Actually I lost for the NLDS but was selected about week later for the NLCS.
I too was rejected! Damn it!!!
Matt, I’d think that the team would give you some seats to at least one game!
I didn’t get it and I entered 3 email accounts :(
I don’t know which is worse. I DID get in, but I can’t afford to buy 4 tickets.
people already listed their PIN#s for sale on craigslist
I didn’t get. The only time I ever won the drawing was in 2006…for World Series tickets.
I have season tickets and won’t be attending every playoff game (should there be any)…
email me keith.suth [at] Gmail . c o m
i’m sure we can work something out…
darn it! I didn’t get in
doesn’t matter, thanks to the cubs inability to play over .500 against the brewers and phils at home lately is going to screw us.
Brew Crew up 5-2… Thanks Cubbies… MIL playing CIN and PIT coming up next 6…
Maybe there will be a 4 way tie for first/wild card
Holy Mary Mother of God,,, I finally won something… Sweetness.. I might be only using 2 of my tickets so… that means there might be 2 tickets up for grabs
Just curious – when you win these things are the tickets available always upper deck?
Yes. Or the back rows of the loge and mezzanine.
There are occasionally some seats in the outer mezz/outer upper boxes for these sales if you’re lucky.
Keep this in mind…
Upper Reserved costs the same as Mezz Reserved wihich costs the same as Loge Reserved fore the playoffs…
Upper Box costs the same as Mezz Box costs the same as outer Loge box costs the same as Outer Field Box for the playoffs…
NLDS = $45 UR, MR, LR
NLDS = $75 UB, MB, LB
then why in the world would one pay $75 for UB if they can get LB ?
most of the LB’s are unavailable.
Correct… STH.
I am in and would sell 4 for one NLDS to a fellow Met fan for a nominal above face value
Screw you. Ticket scalpers get lost.
you guys are kidding…I am a huge met fan…..probably the biggest and I am not looking to make anything…at all……period and that is the end of that
ugh, hate the people who win that try to make a buck off the real fans.
Why? They won, you didn’t. I’ve got a saturday plan and a friend one, but If should happen to win more tickets, I’d definitely be looking to sell them for a profit. These things are expensive, and If i want to be able to go as much as possible, profit is the only way.
Well, we’ll all be hoping that you don’t win, clearly.
Idiots like you are what’s exactly wrong with the ticket lottery. Turns everyone into an amateur scalper.
It’s bad enough that MLB marks up these tickets, then we’ve got to deal with imbeciles like yourself who only want to take advantage of an average joe who wants to go to a game.
Go to hell.
Instead of unending JOY, when I got my email saying I had an opportunity to buy tickets…I felt sick to my stomach…something else to get really excited about…errrrr….
I won an opportunity for the NLCS in 2006….and we made it…so I’m going to cross my fingers and TRY AND ENJOY THE RIDE!
Remember , Unless we actually make the playoffs winning is worthless
do you get refunded if….?
yes
Well, last year I won this “raffle” and still have my stubs for game 2 of the NLDS. So this year not winning might be a blessing in disguise.
Let’s hope so!!!
Must win tonight!!!
WOOOOO Giovani Soto ties the game with a 2 out, 3-run HR in the bottom of the 9th!
OMG
Cubs 4 run 2 out rally in 9th to tie Brewers.
CUBS TIE, CUBS TIE!
WOOHOO AND SOTO IS ON MY FANTASY TEAM!
Quick question..In the email it says there are two ways to log in on sunday.. the first option
1.If you have previously linked the account number received in your e-mail to an online account:
2.If you have not yet linked the account number received in your e-mail to an online account
How do I link my account number received to to an online account?
If you have received a PIN number…
I believe, if you’ve won under taht email address before it sends you the same account number linked to that email address. So if you won for the preseason lottery, or something like taht, you’d have an account number and have already set up a pin.
Otherwise, you just use the info you got, and set up your account now/sunday.
I have a opening day seven pack, and was never sent anything in the mail about buying tickets to a playoff game like I was supposed to. The sale for seven pack holders ended today at 5:30, I was very lucky to call today at around 4:30 to just inquire about the opportunity that I was entitled to, and to my surprise found out the sale was almost over, luckily I got tickets to LCS game 2, but would have preferred to get LDS tickets, and probably could have done better than sec. 40 row V had I known by tuesday. Had I called tomorrow I probably would have been told tough luck and they would have had an extremely angry Mets fan who shelled out over $500 for opening day pack tickets to get screwed come playoff time.
There was never a guarantee for Seven Pack holders that tickets would be made avaialble for you via a special sale…
That said, most tix were for the highest rows…
I won the Lottery in 2006 and had tix to potential Game 5 of the NLDS (obviuosly not played)…
That’s the only time I ever won the lottery…
Looks like the Mets are not the only ones with bullpen issues.. Holding a 6-2 lead in bottom of ninth in Chicago, the Cubs have come back to tie the game at 6!
I got game NLDS game 2 but was just informed i will be getting game 2 thru my Sunday plan. Anybody interested in trading game 1 for game 2 let me know. email me at metsno1fan at gmail
Correction.. meant to say the Brewers blew their 6-2 lead after 2 outs in the ninth.. Cubs coming to bat now in bott of 10th
wwow, if the brewers lose this game, it really is over for them
I wouldn’t say that since they now face CIN and PIT for the next 6…
But it would be a devastating loss…
it would be huge for us though…
Damn straight…
yup, that’s probably what i meant.
GO CUBS!
Great, Cerrone! You posted a picture of playoff tickets and referred to the possibility that the Mets might make the playoffs. YOU HAVE JINXED US ALL FOR ALL ETERNITY!!!
(If only there was a “sarcasm” button on my keyboard. Hopefully it was clear enough.)
Cerrone is the Mush of bloggers. Put him in the closet.
keep in mind the picture of tickets he posted is ‘07 tickets..
after Cubs tied it.. there was a groundout.. and then 8 K’s in a row between the 2 teams… Wonder what is the record for consecutive Strikeouts….
and.. another one!! Derek Lee just struck out.. now nine in a row!
yea i noticed that too, finally ramirez walked
just watching the brewers/cubs game and ed rapuano (the home plate unpire) threw out jim edmons on a 1-2 count for arguning a strike call…ridiculous
yea he gets a new AB though???
does he have an extra large strike zone?
is that why there were 8Ks in a row?
It was two feet outside, Edmonds was right.
Meanwhile, if blowing a 4 run lead with 2 out in the 9th isn’t bad enough, the Brewers started the 12th with a single and a double and did not score. If they lose it here in the 12th, we are talking devastating.
i was wondering if anyone else was watching this game. glad to know i’m not alone, i can’t believe the cubs came back, i’m so happy. come on cubbies!
Base hit! Do it! Come on Cubs!!!
what’s going on? yahoo not updating after the edmonds thing.
to the 12th in chicago
awwwwe! so close
1st and 3rd nobody out for the brewers
sorry its second and third
one out still tied still 2nd and 3rd
two outs first and second
still tied!!!
hardy thrown out at home
boo kerry wood booooooooooooooo
nice job cubbies!
one more out to go!
the cubs get out of the inning
still tied!!
i take back my boo kerry wood…
good job!
but eerily similar to mets “rallies”
Wood got out of it. Great pitching, great defense by the Cubs. Wow.
Man, can’t WAIT to play them on Monday. :-)
Especially since Marquis will throw 60 pitches and come out in the 4th, Harden threw 115 today so he will throw 60 on Tuesday, etc etc.
Hey, don’t get me wrong, that was supposed to be humor. The Mets can take them, it’s just a matter of will they?
Hm. Clearly someone doesn’t know how to properly use the HTML tags. Your help would be appreciated.
Are you talking to yourself?
I knew it was sarcasm and I was with you. You took two sides of an argument that never happened.
Yes, was talking to myself. I was trying to use the italics switch but I guess I did it wrong – italicized the whole sentence. I’ll figure it out eventually.
wow, and i thought that only the mets could not score with men on 2nd and 3rd with no outs.
man on 2nd with one out for the cubs
two out, runner now on third
CUBS win!!!
Cubs win!
cubs win cubs win
CUBS WINNNNNNN!
HEY!!!!
thanks chicago
woo hoo, thank God! now come on mets!
now all we need is for the phills to lose and mets to win
ill take a mets win!
I stand corrected! Hey my name is metsmad! I was blowing a gasket over this b/c this really helps us.
looks like MIL wants to take the title of worst bullpen from the mets!
mets are simply NOT winning hte division…so lets go ahead and win hte wild card
3 years of registering. 0 “wins” in the lottery system.
YES.
How does a semi-literate 12 year old know who Larry Flynt is??
Help! Help! My braing s singed!
This guy is either mentally retarded or a genius. Maybe both.
WE GET IT YOU ARE NOT RIGHT IN THE HEAD
I would think that a semi-literate 12 year old would know who Larry Flynt is before knowing who Robert Kennedy was.
I hated this guy at first, but now he is probably my favorite commentator here.
LOL.
