*** Mets raise top ticket price $7 - to $64 NEW YORK (AP) - After losing to the Yankees in the World Series, the Mets raised their top ticket price $7 to $64 on Wednesday. While the Mets had the top price for a regular seat at a New York ballpark last year, this season they come in $1 below the Yankees, who raised their best box seat price by $10 after winning their third straight World Series title. In both cases, the seats are available only as season tickets and include waiter service. The price of the best regular box seat at Shea Stadium has nearly quadrupled since 1996, when it was $17. In the same period, the Yankees increased their top regular price from $25 to $65. Payrolls have gone up, too, the Yankees' rising from $62 million in 1996 to $113 million last year and the Mets' increasing from $29 million to $90 million in the same span.
