Madoff tickets back on the market

Do you have a whole lot of money laying around? Do you want season tickets to the New York Mets? Do you want to sit behind home plate? Do you want to sit in the same seats Bernie Madoff would have -- if he wasn't going to jail from now until eternity?

Then boy, do I have the deal for you!

According to the AP, the tickets that Madoff's company purchased in Citi Field will soon go up for sale.

"We have no intention of not monetizing them and letting them go unused," trustee Irving H. Picard said Saturday in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "When we have something to announce, we will do so."

Mets executive vice president David Howard said the seats were paid for and were in either the first or second row behind home plate, a section known as Delta Club Platinum. They list for $695 each for Opening Day on April 13 and June interleague games against the New York Yankees, all classified as platinum by the Mets.

They cost $595 for gold games, $495 for silver games, $395 for bronze games and $295 for value games. Overall, the season ticket comes to $40,095 per seat, an average of $495.

"They're paid for. They can do with them what they want to," Howard said.

That's right! Only $40,095 per seat!!

But if you call within the next 10 minutes, we'll throw in a free Mr. Met bobblehead!!

Ugh.
