The good news: you can get
Opening Day at Citi Field tickets.
The bad news: it's gonna cost you. Alot.
The Mets are offering opening day if you buy four other games in April or May (four games from the other 11 April home games and all 10 Monday-Friday
May home games, including the Philadelphia Phillies' first visit to
Citi Field (May 6-7).
You also have to choose from Metropolitan Box, Field Box or Caesars Club Bronze seats.
To see how cheap I could go, I ordered 1 ticket for the Caesar's Club (what's up with all the
food references?) and the cheapest games i could think of (Pirates, Marlins, nats and Brewers).
The cost: $ 546.50.
That's 1 ticket. So expect to shell out at least $1,000 if you want to go with someone you know. Or perhaps take a family member (I hear kids like baseball games. At least rich kids do).

Kingman,
The first day this plan was available, the club was offering Baseline Box seats.
If you wanted one ticket to Opening Day, at the lowest cost, you would choose Baseline Box, plus 4 Value dates. $105 + 4x$45 = $285. If you are a plan holder, you could have gotten all the fees waived had you called.
You could have gotten the price down even further if you decided to flip those $45 tickets (maybe even sell them at a loss). Even better, if you have tickets (plan or season) elsewhere in the ballpark (that are affordable - aka Promenade level) you can choose 4 games that you already have seats to, sell the Prom seats (maybe at a profit) to off-set the costs of the lower bowl seats.... and sit in those lower level seats for those 4 games.
Bottom line, it was a deal if you jumped on it right away... not so much now unless you make an effort and are willing to gamble.
Cheers!
