Want to see Mets’ David Wright’s last game at Citi Field? Here’s how much you’ll pay for tickets

Mets third baseman David Wright announced on Thursday, September 13, 2018 (9/13/18) that he will return to the lineup at Citi Field on September 29, 2019 (9/29/18) against the Miami Marlins. Wright says he expects that game to bring his 14-year MLB career to a close, one which was sidetracked by a series of debilitating back and shoulder injuries.

Mets captain David Wright made it official on Thursday, announcing that he will return to action at Citi Field on September 29th against the Miami Marlins.

That’s when he plans to be in the lineup and play third base for the Mets in what will most likely be the end of his 14-year MLB career.

According to MLB.com, the Mets will activate Wright at the start of their final homestand on Sept. 25. He could be used as a pinch-hitter at some point before his final start.

If you want to see Wright’s start in person, you’re in luck. Plenty of tickets remain available.

Going through the Mets official team page, seats are available for as little as $28 plus handling fees. That would put you in the Promenade Reserved section, high up on the first base side.

Tickets are going for as much as $207 on the Mets’ site. That puts you in the Delta Silver section, between home plate and third base.

On StubHub, Promenade outfield seats can be had for as little as $45 plus fees. The most expensive ticket on StubHub is $750 for the Metropolitan Platinum section behind home plate.

Here are more details about Wright’s announcement, per the Associated Press:

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Mets said that third baseman David Wright will return for the team’s final homestand on Sept. 29.

The Mets said that they plan to activate Wright when they return to Citi Field on Sept. 25 against Atlanta.

The 35-year-old is scheduled to play on the second to last day of the regular season against Miami.

It would be his first major league game since May 2016. Wright has worked to return from a litany of neck, back and shoulder injuries that have required surgery.

Although not officially retiring, Wright is not expected to play again after this season.

“The way I feel right now and from everything the doctors have told me, there’s not going to be an improvement,” Wright said when asked if he could play beyond 2018. “So, yeah, I don’t see that as a possibility.”

Mets Chief Operating Officer Jeff Wilpon and Senior VP of Baseball Operations John Ricco joined Wright for an emotional news conference prior to the club’s doubleheader against Miami to make the announcement, ending speculation on whether or not the seven-time All-Star would return.

Also in the room were several of Wright’s teammates including Jose Reyes, Jacob deGrom and Michael Conforto, along with manager Mickey Callaway.

Wright appeared in 12 rehab games in August, hitting a combined .171 with a double and two RBIs in 41 at-bats for Class A St. Lucie and Triple-A Las Vegas. Wright took live batting practice twice since Saturday and also fielded grounders.
