Why Are Citi Field Ticket Prices A State Secret?

(I'm writing this on Monday afternoon so if the Mets have updated their Web site between now and then, fine they got me.)

Why are the ticket prices at Citi Field a state secret?

Sure we've heard some anecdotal evidence from Mushnick and a few others, mainly from folks who are renewing their ticket plans.

A visit to Mets.com provides absolutely zero information. I can leave a deposit for $250 for a partial-plan, but that seems insane to do, there's no mention of how many games I would get or where the seats are. What if the Mets offer me the one-game behind a pole plan?

There is of course a link to Stubhub, the official home of MLB scalping. I can tell you the cheapest listed ticket for Opening Night is $189. Nearly two hundred bucks to sit outside on a cold April night. Heaven forbid they play a day game.
