    I won the DCS lottery, tix go on sale Sunday morning.

    Whats the consensus about the best game to get?

    Game 1 is guaranteed..you know they'll play it no matter what...but there's always the allure of going after the potential series clincher.


    I already have tix for LCS game 3.

    are they selling tickets to games 1,2 & 5 as if we have already won the division?

    and what happens if we win the wild card? that would only be games 3 & 4.

    I'm going to wait and see what happens, it will cost me more money but I would like to know when we are playing before I buy them,

    BTW I had tickets to game 1 in Oakland in 06. 2 rows behind the Mets dugout. Of course that didn't work out to well but I still have the actual tickets.

    They sell tickets to every conceivable game.

    'Home Game 1' is either Game 1 or Game 3 depending on home-field advantage.
    'Home Game 2' is either Game 2 or Game 4
    'Home Game 3' is Game 5

    Obviously Home Game 3 is only good if the Mets get home-field for the first round (i.e. winning the division) AND the series goes the distance so that's far from a guaranteed game but you do get your money back if the game isn't played of course.

    Home Game 1 is probably the game to get because you either have Santana - most likely - pitching Game 1 at home or you're going to Game 3 which will be crucial either as a swing game or with one team being up 2-0.

    Home Game 2 isn't a bad choice, especially if the Mets are the Wild Card so Game 4 could be a conceivable clincher.

    Oh and make sure you look at the playoff schedule in case you have any personal conflicts. If the Mets are a division winner, the games are scheduled for 10/1, 10/2 and 10/7. If the Mets are the wild card, the home games are 10/4 and 10/5.

    And now since you guys are talking about this, they are going to lose all remaining games and miss the playoffs. Thanks.

    I LOOKED ON EBAY AND PEOPLE ARE SELLING THEIR PASSWORDS .
    only thing is to use the password the credit card must match the person who entered the contest.

    Yeah, the Mets selling playoff tickets last year before they actually made the playoffs was the reason for the collapse.

    I. Need. To. Go.

    But also, I don't want to pay out the ass.


    But I really want to go.

    it's such a dilemma.

    I got my DS tix....if they dont make home field (and they wont) I wont be able to go to the game, because the home games are Oct 4 and 5th.

    i already got buyers lined up, sorry guys.
