Finally, the Empire Supporters Club does not require its members to subscribe to either of these packages. As always, all ESC members will benefit from the lowest possible group rate at all Metro matches at box office.
There are several ways of breaking down the value of these packages, but considering 15 home League fixtures and a minimum of one friendly ($13 ESC group discount v $18 regular) and a shirt valued approximately $70, let's do the math. At $253, the full monty looks like this: 1. No playoffs- 15 matches and one friendly 16 matches x $13 = 208 + $45 home top 2. No playoffs, two friendlies 17 matches x $13 = 221 + $32 home top or One playoff match and one friendly 17 matches x $13 = 221 + $32 home top 3. No playoffs, three friendlies 18 matches x $13 = 234 + $19 home top or One playoff match, two friendlies 18 matches x $13 = 234 + $19 home top or Two playoffs, one friendly 18 matches x $13 = 234 + $19 home top 4. One playoff, three friendlies 19 matches x $13 = 247 + $6 home top 5. Two playoffs, three friendlies 20 matches x $12.65 = 253 + free home top Another way of looking at this is to take the value of the 15 League fixtures and one guaranteed friendly and go from there. If one keeps the cost of the home top at $45, one can look at it at as the continually decrease in the ticket price per additional match. 1. No playoffs- 15 matches and one friendly 16 matches x $13 = 208 + $45 home top 2. No playoffs, two friendlies or One playoff match and one friendly 17 matches x $12.23 = 208 + $45 home top 3. No playoffs, three friendlies or One playoff match, two friendlies or Two playoffs, one friendly 18 matches x $11.55 = 208 + $45 home top 4. One playoff, three friendlies 19 matches x $10.95 = 208 + $45 home top 5. Two playoffs, three friendlies 20 matches x $10.40 = 208 + $45 home top One X factor in breaking down value in this pricing is what Metro will charge fans for Playoff tickets; they usually cost a tad more than the regular season. We all have our ways of rationalizing that which can not otherwise be rationalized, especially when pitching the missus on a boost in allowance. I prefer the first method where the cost of the home top comes down each extra match.
I don't recall any place on the application for tickets for the ESC member # ,does Metro Front Office have a master copy of 2003 members . i don't want to leave it to chance or risk getting my new home JERSEY in Augest or something like that. do we have a Favorite rep in the office if needed?
http://www.metrostars.com/tickets/halfseason.htm yes, the matches are set (the first post states eight specific matches). there are two sets of dates to choose from, but it's nearly irrelevant as you can exchange them for any match you want, usually right at the box office.
my scenario I bought a half-season package and I told the ticket rep. that I wanted tickets for the first seven games. He said no problem and told me to write that down on the form. Someone will have to pay if I was misled!!!!!!!!!
Re: Re: my scenario I am of the opinion that the info was adequate, not neccessarily good......but thats just my stance.
I believe they said the half-season pkg was for 8 matches plus the home top. "So I was under Oveur even though he was under Dunn."
It is 7 games + 1 international/friendly The other day I got a letter from the ticket office saying I had to pick one of the two half-season packages. I called them to say that I only wanted the first 7 games because I might be moving out of town. They said that they "would see what they could do," but most likely I would have to do the ticket exchange program (mail them back the tickets I won't be using to get tickets to the games I want to go to). I'll wait and see what ends up happening, but I'll be a little pissed if I have to deal with the hassle of exchanging tickets. I know a few ESC members don't buy season tickets because they don't want to deal with mailing back tickets. Perhaps next year the ESC and the Metros can have a plan that will simply give members a pack of ticket vouchers. That way members can simply go to the games they want and also use the vouchers for friends they bring to the games, while the Metros get money in the bank and can inflate their season ticket totals.
i got the booklet, but not the shirt. wtf? also, what's the story w/ esc memberships? i signed up at the drive during the argie game, but haven't heard anything. should i have?
Don't expect the jerseys until , at the earliest, opening day (thats what I heard from a metro rep). Problems with Nike.
Big up to the MFO..I ordered my ticket package yesterday morning, and this afternoon I got a FedEX with all the stuff (sans shirt). I'm surprised I got the booklet, I thought I was late on that... now that the Metros did something great, I'm sure ski-season just opened up in hell...
I got my tickets for Row 9 of 101. If I counted right, that means that we should be up to about 150 Metromembers in the ESC section. Does this mean that we have the bus for the road games?
i'm sure there is an answer to this question somewhere in the boards, but i'm too lazy to search for it. are they going to sell sec.101 tix at the gates or should i not wait till gameday to get my tickets and just buy them through ticketmaster?
Re: Re: ESC MetroMembership Packages they're going to sell 101 tix day-of-game...it's at Gate c (right at lot 16a). just ask one of the ESC membrs and they should help you out
