"The free ticket giveaway was fully subscribed within hours yesterday. Guess the percentage of no shows from the ticket offer. The answer is 58 percent."
"I want you to understand how selfish it is. The Mets only put out a certain amount of tickets. There were a lot of people that probably were willing to go."
The Mets offered free tickets for games against Arizona, which were fully subscribed. However, 58% of those who signed up did not attend. This statistic, shared by owner Steve Cohen, sparked criticism from WFAN host Evan Roberts, who expressed disappointment over the no-show rate. Roberts emphasized the selfishness of taking tickets that could have been used by other fans, particularly children eager to attend the game. The Mets had adjusted game times due to cold weather, further complicating attendance expectations.
