Discounting the Mets

The Mets plan to vary ticket prices in 2003 based on things like the quality of the opponent, the weather, etc. Of course, the biggest variable is the quality of the home team – if the Mets are serious about adjusting prices for demand, we should see prices drop sharply throughout the season as the prospect of contention becomes ever more distant. On the other hand, I can’t wait to see the headline “Ordonez Goes On Disabled List, Mets Raise Ticket Prices 50%.”
