Contexte : Les Mets ont avancé leurs matchs de mardi et mercredi en raison de la météo. En raison du changement, ils ont offert des billets gratuits aux fans pour se rendre à la nouvelle heure de début et des bons pour les fans déjà atteints de rachitisme. Tous les billets gratuits ont été réclamés en quelques heures, mais seulement 58 % des fans qui ont réclamé les billets se sont réellement présentés. C’est pourquoi nous ne pouvons pas avoir de belles choses.

I don’t know how many tickets got botted or if trolls from other fan bases claimed them, but I would’ve went to the game but by the time I checked for tickets, they were all gone. Disappointed to see people took advantage of the team doing something good.
Steve cohen rigs the stock market and can stfu
I’ll be there today steve don’t worry
I saw and keep seeing a bunch of those tickets being sold or trying to give them away.
Idk why people would claim them if they knew they couldn’t go or, even worse, were dicks and tried to sell them.
It’s why we can’t have nice things.
This is being pretty dramatic. It’s not like they lost anything other than concession sales. The games were rescheduled so they got tickets to the game that they already paid for.
If I buy a ticket to an event and it’s rescheduled then you had best be giving me a ticket for the new date and time. I really don’t see what the problem is here. He should be more concerned about the tickets he hasn’t already sold.
Edit: I misunderstood. I’ll leave the post as it was but I can’t defend taking a ticket with no intentions of using it or reselling it.
I grabbed a ticket just in case. I ended up going for a couple innings, but if certain work things had gone differently I would have missed it. 58% seems pretty high to me and it’s not like they were transferrable. So there’s no scalping or anything.
Out of touch billionaire questions peasant’s commitment to continue enriching him.
Quite the headline.
Mets should’ve let us get Soto since they’re not doing anything with him.
He says 58 is the percent of ticket holding no-shows, so 42% of fans showed up.
Even 42% is a shit ton of fans by volume for what is essentially a last-minute scheduling change…

It’s because New Yorkers (folks from downstate) are soft and can’t handle the cold
So people claimed the free tickets and then didn’t show up
Not really sure how you can prevent that type of thing.
And it’s not like most Mets fans can claim they couldn’t go because they had to work.
To be fair, day game or not, the only time you’ll see Chase Field over half full on a weekday is if the Cubs, Dodgers, Red Sox or Yankees were in town
Oh no!!! Will he be OK? Should we start a GoFundMe for him?
I’m here to comment before fully understanding the situation
Valid
Poor fella has no luck.
> for fans who already had rickets.
This makes it sound like Steve was going to force everyone to go through a mandatory « soft bones » procedure.
Must be nice to watch trash for free
That’s pretty normal. When planning morale events at work, I learned the hard way to always charge a nominal amount (literally a couple bucks) anytime I needed an accurate count, otherwise you’ll never get one. Got sick of wasting a bunch of money buying tickets when half don’t even show.
It’s funny, charging as little as $2 will separate those who want to go and will actually show up from those that just got it because it was free.
Protip never make anything free in nyc if you dont want people to ruin it. Should have made it like $5 or something to defer this type of douche baggery
Free tickets always work this way, though. When it’s free, fans don’t feel invested so if they don’t go, they didn’t miss anything. Even a small fee like $5 would lower the amount of people who skip considerably.
I can’t believe Steve Cohen needs this explained to him.
#LOUD NOISES
You *definitely* couldn’t pay me $1,000,000 to go the NYC and watch a Mets game. Absolutely no way you could convince me. In fact Steve I don’t even think you should try.
Went yesterday, tried to get the voucher for next game and it didn’t work
Now I’m reading comments that only 5000 were given away.
Berating your fans is sure to go well.
Yeah Steve I have a job, I can’t just make myself free within 24 hours like that.
I promise you if you have fans who didn’t live in New York a little more lead time on this (I’m in PA) a lot more of us would show up.
Steve, respectfully, shut the fuck up. You called out Mets fans after 2024 and they responded by breaking attendance records in 2025 and the team was a fucking shit show. Just sit down, shut up, and focus on your dumb casino. Let Mets fan worry about the Mets.
