The Blue Jays have an opportunity to win their first World Series in 32 years tonight and if you want a chance to be in the building to witness history it won’t be cheap.
As of 12 p.m., the cheapest resale ticket available on Ticketmaster was listed for more than $1,600 and that won’t even get you a seat.
Instead, you will have access to general admission areas only as part of the Blue Jays ‘Outfield District” ticketing promotion.
These tickets were available for $20 for all home games in the regular season but were sold for $345 when they went on sale to the general public for the World Series last week.
If you want to sit in the 500-level of Rogers Centre tonight, the cheapest resale tickets were listed for more than $1,800 as of noon while even the cheapest seats in the 100-level were going for more than $3,000.
Tickets for the World Series home games at Rogers Centre sold out within 30 minutes after going on sale last week.
Days later, Ontario Premier Doug Ford accused ticket resellers of “gouging” baseball fans and suggested that his government would consider legislation to cap ticket prices in the future.
The Blue Jays currently lead the Los Angles Dodgers three games to two and will effectively have up to two opportunities to win a World Series at home.
First pitch is scheduled for 8 p.m. tonight.
