I have a special announcement about one of the many exciting things we have in store for you as we begin our eight season of covering the New York Mets!

In 2012, Mets Merized Online will be teaming up with Seatcrew.com to get MMO readers free tickets to a bunch of Mets games over the course of the Mets 50th Anniversary Season!

Seatcrew.com is a brand new, online ticket marketplace. If you’ve ever used Stubhub, you’re familiar with the expensive, and often absurd fees that typically leave the final price far above and beyond the initial listing. If you’ve ever bought or sold tickets on Craigslist, you’ve seen how difficult that system makes it to manage the entire process.

Seatcrew is positioning itself directly in the middle. Seatcrew charges ZERO fees, whether you’re buying or selling. Seatcrew tells you where on the map tickets are so you can find sellers nearby and avoid Stubhub’s large overnight fees. Also, Seatcrew manages and tracks all of your listings and offers so you don’t have to chase after randomly generated email accounts. Plus, Seatcrew is completely transparent, putting you in direct touch with rated and reviewed buyers/sellers, which makes your transaction safer and more social.

You can see more about Seatcrew in this short video:
