Tickets anyone?

So I went to mets.com today and clicked through for tix to Opening Day + 4 game pak. I opted for "best seats available" and picked 4 games, 2 tickets each. Lo and behold a pair of tickets were available in Metropolitan Box seats for each game, with a package total of ....... (Drum roll please) ...... $1650.

What?

That works out to $165 per seat per game. Now, call me crazy or old fashioned, but since when should tickets cost $165 per game, even for great seats and a great team (the latter of which the Mets have yet to provide). Of course, I realize that seats are worth "whatever someone will pay for them," and by having shaved 10,000 seats out of Citi compared to Shea certainly that will drive prices up. But I still have a hard time believing that people will find it worth $180 to attend an early season game against the Marlins.

Apparently so do the rest of the fans, which is why seats are still available this close to Opening Day.
