NEW YORK (AP) -The New York Mets finally sold that last remaining luxury suite at Citi Field.
Mets executive vice president David Howard said Thursday that the 49th suite was bought about two weeks ago. When the team announced pricing for the ballpark’s season tickets in mid-August, it said 48 suites had been committed.
The Mets’ suites, which hold 16 to 22 people, sold for $250,000 to $500,000 apiece. The Yankees said this week that seven of 51 suites at the new Yankee Stadium remain unsold, the same figure as in August. Those suites cost $600,000 to $850,000 each, and only the lowest-price ones are still available.
Howard wouldn’t say how many season tickets the Mets have sold for the new ballpark.
“We’ve had a very, very high acceptance of the offer to our pre-existing season tickets customers,” he said.

“We are in the process now of sending out invoices to those who have accepted and have given us a deposit,” he said.
Howard expects construction of the new ballpark to be substantially complete by the end of next month. The formal opening is on Monday night April 13 against San Diego.
