Even though the New York Mets will never catch up to the New York Yankees when it comes to World Series titles, the Metropolitans have come a long way since starting as an expansion team in ’62 and they have significantly closed the gap on the Yankees in terms of popularity among baseball fans in the Big Apple. That would have been hard to predict after the Mets’ first season, when they completed one of the worst seasons in the long history Major League Baseball. The only “amazing” thing about the Mets that year was that they managed to lose 120 games and finish 60 ½ games out of first place. Things didn’t get much better for the next six seasons, until the incredible season of ’69 when the Amazin’ Mets won 100 games and captured a World Series title. They pulled off another remarkable World Series victory in ’86, thanks to a little help from Bill Buckner, and the team has been a frequent playoff contender since then and they have the roster to compete again this season.

The biggest dates on the New York Mets baseball schedule are always the Subway Series games against the Yankees, and GoTickets.com has your NY Mets tickets for every game this season. We have Mets baseball tickets for every budget, whether you want to sit in the upper deck or right behind home plate. A big part of the reason for the recent surge in the popularity of Mets tickets is the opening of Citi Field, which replaced the aging Shea Stadium. With a price tag of nearly $1 billion, Citi Field was not quite as expensive as the new Yankee Stadium, but fans have given it great reviews since it opened last season. It is vastly superior to Shea Stadium in just about every way you can imagine, but it has about 16,000 fewer seats, so Mets games sell out faster than ever. But at GoTickets.com, you can get great Citi Field seats and Mets tickets for any game on the schedule.

And check back with GoTickets.com in a couple years, because Citi Field is expected to get the 2013 MLB All-Star Game and we’ll have your tickets for that game.
