Dear Mr. Apple,
Thank you for your purchase of a 15 game plan this year. We hope you are enjoying what has been a great Mets season so far. Unfortunately, due to the rain out and subsequent double-header we have been forced to make some modifications to the plan. Because our records indicate that you attended both games of the April 27th double-header, you are now on pace to attend 16 games. To remedy this situation please pick one of your remaining games and send the tickets back to us at:
New York Mets
Citi Field
Roosevelt Avenue
As you can imagine we were not happy about this so we got on the phone with 718-507-TIXX and prepared to give them a piece of our mind. After twenty minutes on hold we were put in touch with a pleasant young man named Bijoy who explained (i.e. read from a script) to us that it was only fair that the team take a game back. He said that we would be mad if the Mets took a game from us and in a sense we had taken a game from them and that the Mets feel that when you pay for 15 games, that's what you get. No More, No Less. He then very politely hung up.
I guess it's true what they say: You can't fight Citi Field.

Citi Field
Roosevelt Avenue
Flushing, NY 11368-1699
Tickets must be received by May 15th. If you do not return the tickets by this date, we will send you an invoice for $25 per seat. In addition, since the Mets won the game we will add an additional $5 "victory fee" per seat.
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter and hope to see you at Citi Field at the upcoming homestand...unless of course those are the tickets you plan to return in which case we'll see you at the homestand after that.
Thank You & Let's Go Mets,
Ralph Nelson
New York Mets Ticket Office
