New York Mets Postseason History

The New York Mets have had several runs of success in the National League, and with that success has come plenty of memorable playoff moments. They have won multiple championships in franchise history, with some of the best players and biggest characters in the history of the game putting on a Mets uniform in the month of October.

Perhaps the most memorable version of the Mets was the 1986 team that won the World Series over the Boston Red Sox. Dynamic starting pitching was the calling card for that team, with the Mets sending out elite pitchers like David Cone and Dwight “Doc” Gooden. They were backed by big hitters like Darryl Strawberry and Gary Carter. The Mets won that series in seven games, with the series being best known for the Mets’ comeback win in Game Six that was aided by an error by Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner.

The Mets that season were known for being more bombastic than most teams you see in Major League Baseball. In a sport full of unwritten rules and respect for opponents, the Mets swaggered into the postseason and weren’t afraid to show who they were en route to one of the more exciting World Series that you could ask for.

Mets fans also celebrated a World Series title in 1969, thanks in large part to the brilliant pitching of Tom Seaver. Seaver, one of the best ever to take the mound, was the face of the Mets during that time and is still one of the most fondly remembered players in the history of the franchise. He won the Cy Young award in the 1969 season, and carried that honor with him to a dominant postseason that culminated in what was the team’s first championship.

The Mets have had plenty of rivals in the postseason, but their rivalries with the Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees have notably spilled over from regular season play into the postseason. Being National League East rivals with the Braves and same-city rivals with the Yankees has turned up the intensity on playoff meetings with those teams.

What makes New York Mets postseason games special for fans?

Buying New York Mets postseason tickets isn’t just about attending another game—it’s about experiencing something bigger. Here’s what makes postseason special compared to the regular season, and why it’s worth securing tickets early:

• Higher stakes and intensity: Postseason Mets games are when every action counts. The pressure is on, the matchups more meaningful, and the atmosphere electric. If you want to see critical plays, clutch moments, and possibly history being made, this is where it happens.

• Scarcity and urgency: There are fewer postseason games, and demand shoots up fast. Premium seats fill up quickly. Buying tickets early means better choice in seating, avoiding inflated resale prices, and locking in your spot before the buzz drives them higher.

• Exclusive perks and priority: Ticket holders often get extras that regular-season attendees don’t always get: priority access to purchase playoff tickets (especially if you’re a season-ticket or membership holder), exclusive merchandise, special events, themed game nights, or upgraded amenities (parking, entrance, etc.).

• Memorable atmosphere and fan energy: The crowd is more invested, the media presence greater, and the tension more palpable. Postseason Mets games tend to be more electric—fans are louder, anticipation is higher, and the emotional payoff is bigger.

• Opportunity to witness defining moments: These are the New York Mets fans talk about for years. Comebacks, championships, career highlights—postseason is when legacies are built. If you want to be there for those moments, this is your chance.

• Better value in some cases: Even though the tickets might cost more, when balanced against what you get (intensity, perks, memorable experience), many fans find postseason Mets tickets fetch greater value per dollar compared to regular season games, especially when you consider resale value or experiential payoff.
