Fearful of the impending wrath of Hurricane Irene, the Mets have preemptively canceled Saturday's and Sunday's games against the Braves. The games will be made up as part of a single-admission double-header on Thursday, 8 September, with the first game starting at 4:10pm.

Tickets for Saturday's game will be honored at the make-up double-dip. Tickets for Sunday's game can be redeemed for seats to a future game. Contact the Mets' ticket office at (718) 507-TIXX for more information.

Here is the official press release from the Mets.

The Mets-Marlins rainout from 3 August has been rescheduled as part of a single-admission double-header on Monday, 29 August beginning at 4:10pm EDT. In other words, if you're holding tickets for 8/29 then you just doubled your projected intake of Mets baseball for no additional charge. If you're holding an unused ticket from 8/3, you should visit Mets.com or call (718) 507-TIXX to exchange them for tickets to a future Mets game, preferably one that won't be rained out and/or played against the Marlins.
