Presented by Cadillac and Dunkin’, the event will take place at the Piazza Club on the Excelsior level during four home games: Thursday, June 29, against the Milwaukee Brewers and June 30 to July 2, versus the San Francisco Giants.

Tickets are now available for purchase online at fevo.me/absenceofproof. A limited number of tickets are priced at USD$100, providing an all-you-can-drink experience at the pop-up, along with access to a reception, a gift bag, a raffle ticket, and a game ticket. The profits generated from ticket sales will be donated to the Amazin’ Mets Foundation, which plans to allocate the funds to Elmcor, a Queens-based nonprofit organization. Elmcor will utilize the grant to support its comprehensive behavioural health services, including substance use treatment programs, within the community.

“Many of our Amazin’ fans are seeking a delightful mocktail environment,” expressed Alex Cohen, the Mets Owner & President of the Amazin’ Mets Foundation. “We are extremely excited to partner with Absence of Proof to introduce a fresh and innovative alcohol-free experience at Citi Field.”

This non-alcoholic pop-up event is a testament to the Mets’ commitment to fostering an inclusive atmosphere at Citi Field. The organization continually explores innovative avenues to enhance accessibility and improve the overall fan experience within the ballpark.

Absence of Proof originated in New York City and has emerged as a frontrunner in the flourishing ‘sober-curious’ scene, championing a more inclusive environment for individuals who opt not to consume alcohol for various reasons. Over the past few years, there has been a remarkable surge in the ‘sober-curious’ community, particularly among Millennials and Gen Z consumers, resulting in soaring demand for alcohol alternatives. Absence of Proof fills this gap by offering a unique and enticing range of beverages, enabling consumers to prioritize wellness and personal growth.

Elizabeth Gascoigne, the 25-year-old Founder and CEO of Absence of Proof, explained, “I recognized the absence of nightlife and social options that didn’t revolve around alcohol. Personally, I understand the necessity for these alcohol-free experiences, and I have always felt like an outsider in the typical alcohol-centric environments.”

Since its establishment in 2022, Absence of Proof has hosted remarkable pop-up events nationwide, garnering widespread acclaim and media coverage from esteemed publications such as The New York Times, Fortune, Financial Times, Thrillist, and SELF magazine. The organization has also collaborated with esteemed partners, including Bumble, James Beard Foundation, INTER_ museum, and others, striving to create more inclusive environments for their events.

With the Mets and Absence of Proof uniting their efforts, Citi Field will become an epicentre of innovation, offering fans an unparalleled experience that combines the excitement of baseball with the thrill of tantalizing mocktails. Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to be part of a groundbreaking event at the heart of New York City’s sporting scene.
