Okay, let me tell you about what happened with this “mets rain out” situation. So, I was super pumped, right? Got my tickets all set for the Mets game, ready to see some baseball. I paid for those tickets with my hard-earned cash, and I was all set to go.
But then, the weather, man. It just wouldn’t cooperate. It started pouring, and there was no way the game could go on. They called it off, and I was like, “Seriously?” I was bummed out, but hey, what can you do about Mother Nature, right?
So, I’m looking at my tickets, thinking, “What now?” Turns out, they have this rain check thing. Because I had paid for the tickets, they become my rain check.
I did a bit of digging, and I found out that in 2023, they got these new rules for rain delays. If the rain starts, they have to wait at least 30 minutes before they can start the game again. And if it keeps raining after that, well, they just keep waiting. It’s all about safety and making sure the field is playable.
Now, here’s the thing about these rain checks. I had to find out more about it, because I paid for the tickets and I wanted to get my money’s worth. Apparently, if they can’t play the game I had tickets for, and they reschedule it as a new game or part of a doubleheader, my original ticket becomes my rain check for the new game. Not a bad deal, but still a hassle.
I checked the details, and you can find all the info on their website. They have this whole policy on rain checks, what tickets are valid, and all that jazz. You can also give them a call if you have questions. For Citi Field, it’s the Mets’ website, and for MCU Park, it’s the Brooklyn Cyclones’ website. Both have phone numbers listed to call with questions.
Anyway, that’s the whole story. I bought tickets, it rained, they canceled, and now I have a rain check. Now I just have to wait for the new game schedule and go through the process of using my rain check. It’s a bit of a pain, but at least I’ll still get to see a game eventually. Just hoping the weather cooperates next time!
