If you've ever tried to price out the clubs behind home plate at Citi Field, you've hit the same wall every Mets fan does: the names tell you nothing. Delta SKY360. Clover Home Plate. Hyundai. Metropolitan. Empire. They all sound expensive, they all sound exclusive, and not one of them explains what you actually get when you scan your ticket.
So here's the plain-English version: what each premium area includes, what it quietly doesn't, and who each one is genuinely worth it for. Every area links to its live price comparison so you can see what a specific game runs across SeatGeek, Vivid, and StubHub before you commit.
Let's start with the mix-up that costs people the most.
The mistake almost everyone makes: Delta SKY360 is not Clover Home Plate
Two different clubs sit directly behind home plate, stacked nearly on top of each other. Fans constantly assume the all-inclusive food-and-drink club is "the Clover one," since it's often the name that jumps out on the seating map. It isn't.
Delta SKY360 is the all-inclusive club. Clover Home Plate is not.
That one distinction moves the real cost of a ticket by hundreds of dollars, because in one club your food and drinks are already paid for and in the other you're running a tab on top of the ticket. The Mets spell this out themselves: the Delta SKY360 all-inclusive benefit explicitly does not extend to Pat LaFrieda's Chop House inside the Clover Home Plate Club, or to the Hyundai Club. Same "behind home plate" zip code, completely different bill at the end of the night.
Keep that straight and the rest of the premium map falls into place.
Delta SKY360 Club: the all-inclusive flagship
This is the one. Delta SKY360 covers the first eight rows directly behind home plate, the closest seats to the field in the building, and it's the only Citi Field club where "all-inclusive" actually means what you think it means.
What's included:
- Food and non-alcoholic drinks anywhere in the park. Your ticket scans for all-inclusive food and soft drinks at concession stands throughout Citi Field, not just at the club. That's the part people underestimate.
- A 7,000-plus square-foot private lounge on the Plaza Level, roughly three times the size of the old space, with a 50-foot bar.
- Complimentary beer, wine, and well spirits, at the lounge. This is the catch worth knowing: the open bar with liquor lives in the club lounge. The all-inclusive scan at general concessions covers food and non-alcoholic drinks only. Liquor isn't included once you leave the lounge.
- A real culinary setup:chef's studio, a sushi station, fresh seafood, a dessert station, plus ballpark staples.
- In-seat food delivery, padded theater-style seats, VIP parking, and a VIP entrance through the same tunnel the players use.
Who it's for: anyone treating the game as the event, whether that's a client outing, an anniversary, or a once-a-year splurge where you don't want to think about a tab. If you're going to eat and drink steadily for nine innings, the all-inclusive model usually earns its keep. If you're a beer-and-a-hot-dog fan, you're paying for a buffet you won't finish.
By some published estimates, face values here have ranged from a few hundred dollars for weekday games against lighter opponents up to well over a thousand for marquee dates. Resale swings even harder, which is exactly why it pays to compare before you buy.

Clover Home Plate Club: the home-plate location, minus the open tab
Clover Home Plate sits directly behind the Delta SKY360 seats, roughly 9 to 20 rows off the field, spanning dugout to dugout on the Clover/Fiserv level. The view is genuinely outstanding (you're still behind the plate) and the seats are fully cushioned.
Here's the honest part: it is notall-inclusive. Inside the club you'll find Pat LaFrieda's Chop House, two full-service bars, and a more casual market and snack bar, all paid separately. There's no ticket-scan open buffet and no complimentary bar tab the way there is one level down in Delta.
Who it's for: this is the move if you want a home-plate seat and a real club environment but don't care about an all-you-can-eat-and-drink package, or you'd simply rather order what you actually want than pay for a fixed inclusive menu. For a lot of fans, paying for the location without the open tab is the sensible middle ground between Delta money and a regular field seat. Compare the two side by side for your game before deciding; sometimes the gap is smaller than you'd guess, sometimes it's hundreds.

Hyundai Club: the dining club on field level
The Hyundai Club is a field-level club behind home plate, built around a sit-down dining experience, with theater-style seats and access to the Hyundai Club lounge and full bar.
The thing to verify on your specific ticket: historically the Hyundai experience has centered on a food buffet and soft drinks, with alcohol purchased separatelyand no complimentary bar the way Delta's lounge runs. Club inclusions get adjusted season to season, so confirm what your ticket covers, but the headline has been consistent: it's a dining club, not an open-bar club.
Who it's for: fans who want a comfortable club seat and a proper meal without paying Delta SKY360 prices for top-shelf liquor they won't drink.

Metropolitan Premium: dugout-level seats with club access
Metropolitan Premium is the first six rows above each dugout, among the most intimate sightlines in the park, and the tickets include access to the Clover Home Plate Club from Fiserv. So you get a dugout-top seat plus an indoor club to retreat to, without sitting in the home-plate clubs themselves.
Who it's for: fans who care more about being right on top of the action down the lines than about being dead-center behind the plate, but still want a climate-controlled club to duck into.

Empire Club: the speakeasy
The Empire Club is Citi Field's most intimate premium space, a small, speakeasy-styled hideaway leaning on a 1920s-30s Art Deco look. It's less about the seat and more about the room: a distinct, low-key club atmosphere you won't find elsewhere in the park.
Who it's for: small groups who want something different and quiet over the biggest, busiest club.

So which premium seat is actually worth it for you?
Skip the names and decide by what you actually value:
- You want everything handled: food and a full bar, no tab. Delta SKY360. It's the only true all-inclusive club here, and the seats are the closest in the building.
- You want a home-plate club seat but not an open tab. Clover Home Plate. Same neighborhood, you pay for what you order, often a meaningful step down from Delta.
- You want a sit-down meal and a comfortable club, not free liquor. Hyundai Club.
- You'd rather be on top of the dugout than dead-center. Metropolitan Premium, with Clover club access included.
- You want a unique, low-key room over the flashiest one. Empire Club.
None of these is "the best" in the abstract. The right one depends entirely on whether you'll use what you're paying for. The all-inclusive math flips the moment you start asking how much you'll really eat and drink.
How to find the price for the game you want
The catch with every club above is that face value is only the starting line. Resale prices for the same seat swing wildly by opponent, day of week, and how the Mets are playing that week. A Tuesday in April against a light opponent and a Saturday Subway Series game can differ by hundreds of dollars in the exact same row.
That's the whole reason this site exists. For any of these areas, we pull listings across SeatGeek, Vivid, StubHub, and more, normalize them to an all-in price (fees included), score each against what that area typically goes for, and sort low to high, so you can see what your game actually costs in one place instead of opening five tabs.
Start with the area you're considering above, pick your game, and compare before you buy.
