Canadians barred from buying tickets for potential Blue Jays games at Yankee Stadium
Ticket sales for the Blue Jays' AL Division Series games in New York are limited to residents of four U.S. states to prevent scalping, barring Canadian fans from purchasing tickets.
- Canadian residents are barred from buying tickets to the Jays' potential ALDS at Yankee Stadium, as Ticketmaster limits sales to New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania residents.
- The Blue Jays have previously restricted sales to Canadian billing addresses to keep tickets for national fans, while a Yankees representative said the four-state sales policy fights ticket scalping and Ticketmaster told CP24 that geographic limits help local fans attend.
- On Oct. 7, the ALDS will shift from Toronto to either the Bronx or Boston for game 3, with Games 3 and 4 at Yankee Stadium if the Yankees advance, and tickets are restricted to U.S. residents.
- If Boston advances, Canadians should be able to purchase tickets at Fenway Park because the Red Sox do not limit purchase eligibility, while Blue Jays fans face Ticketmaster restrictions for New York games but may find other avenues.
- Fans reacted on X Monday, with Brian `Rear Admiral` McGonagle calling it `Bunch of scare bears` and others noting the 2023 Florida Panthers 24-hour ticket restriction.
