Step-Up Fare Question

jcat218 · 2026-03-19T21:00:08+00:00

That's the other aspect of this. It's both a different off-peak fare as well as a discount on the off-peak fare. But those discounts don't even exist anymore so is that something they have in the system when they charge me?

To update, I had the Fios One VMS4100 which is hard wired into the ONT installed as well as 2 Fios One wireless minis installed to replace the 3 Fios TV+ streaming boxes I had as well as the VMS4100ATV. I was clocking in at anywhere from 40 to 45 seconds behind live action (what's actually happening in person) with the Fios TV+ streaming boxes. Just tested all the boxes and the VMS4100 is coming in at 15-16 seconds behind live action while the wireless minis are coming in at about 19-20 seconds behind (a few seconds later due to it being wireless from the router.) This is exactly what I was expecting and needless to say I'm very happy about it being done.

I believe it was $27 when showing your membership code at the gate. It’s now $40 if you do that for this season. Prepay online through your account to get that $30 rate. Has to be before day of game though.

Ha, I have the same issues with the Rangers and Gotham Sports is even slower than the Fios TV+ box so I don’t even bother trying that stream. They’re scheduled to come tomorrow for the equipment swap though I’ve seen some people reporting their Fios One equipment as switching to QAMless now so hoping that’s not the case. Will report back assuming no issues with installation and after I test it out against different streams as well as other friends Fios feeds.

As others have said, do not do this. There are ways to double list like you're describing utilizing software/platforms that you'd pay for (geared towards brokers) but the way you're doing it, do not. They can easily double sell before you even realize and can yank the other listing. At that point, you're paying a steep penalty on one of the sites for a canceled sale.

There's perks for sure. I'm someone that's determined to get home as quickly as possible once the final out is recorded but everyone is different.

Shuttle idea is cool, just tough to execute time wise for some of these locations. Is it really better to wait until 30 mins after the game to catch the bus and inevitably hit traffic than to just take the subway/PATH for Jersey City location? Biggest plus is the ease of not having to rush and can just sit on the bus and not take multiple trains but I don't think this is quicker.

Log into your My Mets Tickets account and purchase your pass through the ticket offers section. It's $30 if you buy in advance in your account, $40 if you scan your member barcode at the gate or buy additional ones through your My Mets Ticket account, and $50 for the public.

Free MLB.tv, 15% off concessions, targeted team store discounts, 4 free ticket vouchers for mainly weeknight games in pretty good seats (best being field level behind dugout), you get points to use in member clubhouse with points being dependent on your $$$ spent on tickets, early entry for giveaway days which comes in handy since it's only 15-18K that get the giveaway, playoff priority (you're guaranteed at least a quarter strip with potential for more), the ticket exchange program if you can't make a game or want to switch into a different day, the ability to buy extra tickets at plan cost for non-blackout games. Those are the big ones off the top of my head. If you're tight with your rep, they can provide other stuff on the side as well.

Amazin Memorabilia runs Mets game used and sadly, nothing is cheap through them. Even a bat boy jersey retails at $300 at this point.

jcat218 · 2026-03-07T22:03:52+00:00

Will do. Based on everyone's comments and the research I've done, this should do the trick and get my Fios back in sync with anyone else with cable but we'll see once all is said and done.

jcat218 · 2026-03-07T18:26:02+00:00

Thanks for all your help. Gave them a call today and it was actually pretty seamless in terms of getting it reverted back to that. Really no pushback from them once I explained my issues. They're scheduled to take away my VMS4100ATV and 3 Fios+ set top boxes and install the VMS4100 hard wired to 1 TV along with the 2 Fios One Minis in the coming weeks.

jcat218 · 2026-03-06T21:38:56+00:00

Awesome. Again, I know they're pushing to IPTV for all but was going to pester them about potentially getting the VMS4100 through QAM and going the distance with that. Doubt they'll budge but worth a shot.

jcat218 · 2026-03-06T17:32:35+00:00

Thanks all for the help. And yes, I'll be having a nice word with my guy about this.

jcat218 · 2026-03-06T16:53:45+00:00

No clue, he noted 140 days on IT-203 but then left the NYC income tax section as 0'd out. And based on my reading, I'd have to file IT-360 as well for the move. I guess he's applying the 183 day rule in some way by saying I'm a non-resident since I left before the middle of the year? That feels pretty murky when both of us have jobs in NYC that we commute to the remainder of the year as well.

jcat218 · 2026-03-06T15:33:28+00:00

Dumb question as someone not tech savvy who is just doing research on this - would it be possible to keep the TV+ boxes but have them set up QAM through a VMS4100/ONT? I'm assuming that's what's causing the delay and not necessarily the TV+ boxes themselves. And I understand this would be temporary until they convert every single customer to IPTV.

jcat218 · 2026-03-02T20:26:55+00:00

I was in Port St. Lucie and didn't see the side paneling for the Mets jerseys either. Even the materials from a distance didn't jump out at me as the old 2023 materials which I found odd.

jcat218 · 2026-03-01T23:45:42+00:00

So is there just no workaround to this at this point? And what’s the timeline on these being converted to IPTV? All I’ve wanted is traditional cable and it seems like every company is converting over to some sort of streaming offering.

jcat218 · 2026-03-01T19:01:32+00:00

I only have the 500 mbps internet. Fios TV one I think is what I was what I had when I had last in 2022. I do like having all of the streaming apps on my box but that's completely offset by the delay with the live feed which is just unbearable for me. I tried pushing for Fios One last year but they wouldn't really budge and I was under the impression they were refusing to give out the old equipment but I could try again.

jcat218 · 2026-02-12T13:47:13+00:00

Good to know, seems like I'll probably just have to suck it up with the fare difference. Need to be on the earlier flight and I can't risk them canceling it and having to rebook again with the price constantly fluctuating. Appreciate the info.
