METS EYE WAYS TO PAY THE PIAZZA MAN? CREATE NEW SEAT PLAN

          The Mets "boosted" ticket prices throughout Shea
     Stadium and introduced "a ritzy new section behind home
     plate where high rollers will pay up to $150 for a prime
     seat with waiter service," according to Madden & Hutchinson
     of the N.Y. DAILY NEWS.  Seats in the first two rows of the
     new section will cost $150, and the remaining three rows
     will be priced at $100 per game.  The price of the Mets
     "best regular seats" goes from $35 to $45, and includes wait
     service.  Inner field and inner loge boxes will jump from
     $24 to $30; mezzanine, outer field and outer loges go from 
     $21 to $25; and the back rows of loge and mezzanine reserved
     seats go from $9 to $10 (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 1/20).
          CARDS HOLD THE LINE: For the fourth straight year, the
     NFL Cardinals "have decided not to raise ticket prices." 
     The decision comes four months before the proposed Rio
     Salado Stadium project goes on the ballot in the Mesa,
     Gilbert and Queen Creek areas (ARIZONA REPUBLIC, 1/20)
