Missed out on Blue Jays World Series tickets? Cheapest resale seats priced at $2K

Resale tickets for Game 1 of the World Series between the Blue Jays and Dodgers reached prices of at least $2,000 barely two hours after sales began on Ticketmaster.

Toronto Blue Jays fans hoping to score a home run with a seated ticket to one of the World Series games at home may have already struck out, with available tickets already costing $2,000 or more barely two hours after going on sale.

Seated tickets for home games went on sale on Ticketmaster Canada’s website at 10 a.m. eastern time, and those who got through the queue early may have scored low-cost tickets.

At about 10:30 a.m., this Global News journalist was about 290,000th in line for a Game 1 ticket.

But by about 11:30 a.m., most tickets that were still available were already considered “Verified Resale.”

While there is a single ticket for Game 1 in section 510 at the Rogers Centre that will cost someone $1,723, taxes included, most are priced at $2,000 or higher. Someone hoping to sit closer to the field in section 135, for example, will have to shovel out $4,954.

A ticket in row 12 of section 123 is selling for $7,198.

Tickets on StubHub Canada are no better, with a ticket for section 522 costing $2,495 including fees, while a section 123 ticket is going for $7,597.

It’s not the first time ticket prices have soared barely hours after they went on sale on Ticketmaster.
