The New York Mets and bobbleheads have two things in common this year.
1.) Both have had their fair share of ups and downs these past few months
and
2.) They’ll be at Citi Field all summer long
Steve Cohen’s club recently announced all the huge giveaways that fans will be able to procure at home games in Flushing over the course of the second half of the season.
Just a few of our favorite upcoming trinkets include the Mets beach towel (July 7), Devin Williams replica jersey (July 11), Freddy Peralta bobblehead (July 25), 1986 retro replica jersey (Aug. 2) and a Mr. Met at the Unisphere Light Up Bobblehead (Aug. 30).
They come on the heels of first-half favorite freebies like the Bobby Valentine mustache disguise (May 29) and the Juan Soto baseball card bobblehead (June 25).
What might be most exciting of all though is just how cheap it is to get into the Queens ballpark.
While prices start over $3,500 (!) to get into Knicks Finals games in Manhattan, Mets faithful can catch games deep off the 7 for as low as $13 including fees on SeatGeek at the time of publication.
Throw in the fact that you get to see Carlos Mendoza’s talented baby Mets — Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing, Nolan McLean — try to piece together a winning season and enjoy the finger-lickin’ gourmet cuisine at Citi Field and that’s a true steal of a deal.
Want to take the Flushing-bound 7 to its penultimate stop to see the Amazin’s play ball (and score a freebie) but don’t know which game makes the most sense to attend?
We’re here to help, ya gotta believers.
Our team has everything you need to know and more about all the New York Mets giveaways at Citi Field in 2026 below.
