PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- The other three teams involved in the 2006 National League playoffs will visit Shea Stadium in 2007, of course. Nothing new there. But this year, the Mets also will be visited by three of the four teams that participated in the 2006 American League playoffs, as well.

Their home schedule presents a certain challenge to the Mets and a soft promise that the best baseball will be played in Queens this season. And, beginning Sunday on Mets.com and LosMets.com, single-game tickets for the 19 games played at Shea by the Twins, A's, Cardinals, Dodgers and Padres and the Mets' other 62 home games go on sale.

Limited inventory for the opening home game, April 9 against the Phillies, and the three games against the Yankees (May 18-20), remain available in season tickets, select ticket plans, and select Seven Packs. Single-game tickets for those four games sold out through an online random drawing that generated more than 400,000 registrations in February.

Tickets for select games start at $5. Nearly 725,000 seats for 36 games of the 2007 season are priced at $9 or less.

The 2007 Mets schedule -- including an up-to-date listing of the Mets' 40 promotion dates offering more than 500,000 promotional giveaways, heritage and theme days/nights, and other special events -- is available online. More than 2 million tickets have been sold, and Mets ticket sales are pacing 20 percent ahead of 2006 sales figures.

Continuing full season-tickets holders in both 2007 and '08 will have priority in purchasing season tickets at Citi Field, the Mets' new home scheduled to open in 2009.
