Did any other S+ members get an email this morning titled "New York Mets ticket offer for Select Plus Members"? I clicked the link to sign up, but I got the dreaded "Sorry, something went wrong and we can't register you for this promotion" message.

No, I didn't, but AGR knows I'd just root for the Nats! :cool: :lol:
Ha! Well, I was hoping to go and root for the Braves on the 7th or 9th, so maybe that's why they wouldn't let me sign up.

Didn't Alan win some tickets a few years ago in a similar promotion? Sounds like fun, wish they extended it to Select members as well.
 
Hi Afsheen - The Mr. didn't get one of these promos (he is S+), so maybe it is just for S+ members within a certain radius of NYC.
 
Yes, it's a special thing for those within X miles of NYC. And yes, I got a pair of tickets to one game last year. So far however, no invite this time. :(

But if you win, it's pretty neat. It's a private box on a special level with all the boxes, no general seating. You even have a special entrance apart from the masses. The box IIRC, seats either 12 or 16. There is an outside seating area, or you can sit inside and watch the game on flat screen TV's. They provide free food & drink, including wine & beer. Your tickets also grant you access to the Acela Club and two other clubs within the stadium. However, if you go to those clubs, the food & drink are not free.

That's kind of what I figured, but I also thought we'd have a fair number of NYC-area S+ members on the board, although maybe I misjudged. Also, since I'm sure everyone has been on pins-and-needles, you'll be happy to know that I emailed AGR and they let me sign up 24 hours later.
 
Just wondering, but is the Acela Club actually affiliated with Amtrak?
Yes. Amtrak is a supporting sponsor at Citi Field. That gets their name on the club plus some other advertising. However, the food and beverage served at the Acela Club is not supplied by Amtrak. :p

Well, in a way. Aramark is the the caterer for Citi Field, and also is the food supplier for Amtrak.
 
Well the burgers that I had in the suite were better than the one's in Amtrak's cafe cars, but IMHO not quite as good as the one's served in Amtrak's dining cars.

Don't know about the food in the Acela Club, which as noted is indeed affiliated with Amtrak & AGR.
