I have been a New York Mets season ticket holder for a few seasons now. And initially, after having given up my grandparents’ season tickets for Shea Stadium Sunday games all those years ago, it was fun to get back to actually being there at the games.
But it has gotten to the point where I am just not into it the way I used to be. And I am seriously considering not continuing my season ticket holder status because 1) the price; 2) the experience; and 3) the product.
