NEW YORK (Reuters) - Bernard Madoff's New York Mets baseball season tickets may be sold in an online auction, a judge ruled on Tuesday, allowing the proceeds to go toward reimbursing the jailed swindler's defrauded customers.

A lawyer for the court-appointed trustee liquidating Madoff's business told the judge in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan that the tickets needed to be sold as quickly as possible because the Mets' played their first home regular season game at the new Citi Field stadium on Monday.

In a light-hearted exchange, Judge Burton Lifland told lawyer Amy Vanderwal: "The market is at the bottom ... might it be best to speculatively hold on to see how well the Mets do?"

But Vanderwal replied, "there is also the possibility they could do worse."

Madoff's tickets were for two seats in the second row behind home plate in the Delta Club Platinum section at the new Citi Field. They had a face value of about $80,191, or $295 to $695 per single ticket.
