Pissed about season ticket prices?

Remember this press release:

The New York Mets today announced across the board decreases in the price of Season Tickets for the 2010 season at Citi Field with no increase in the price of any ticket next year.

The average ticket price on a full-season basis will drop by more than 10 percent with reductions in select locations in excess of 20 percent.  Every Season Ticket Holder will see a decrease in their invoice for next season.

Well, when some fans received their ticket invoices for the 2010 season, some were quite angry to see that their tickets were only $1 cheaper every game, far from a 10 percent reduction.

While I understand the outrage, they must look closely at the release.

“The average ticket price on a full-season basis will drop by more than 10 percent.” 

That means some will drop more and some will drop less.  Unfortunately, they have to drop less for certain people.

Are you a season-ticket holder?  How do you feel about the reduction in prices?
