"Canadian Blue Jays fans hoping to watch October baseball in the Bronx are finding themselves blocked at the ticket booth, according to CBC News. Ticketmaster is restricting sales for next week's potential American League Division Series games at Yankee Stadium to residents of just four states: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. That means if your billing address is north of the border, your order gets canceled and refunded. No exceptions."
"For now, only residents of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania can purchase tickets to ALDS Games 3 and 4. Everyone else - including Canadians who routinely make up a huge share of the Yankee Stadium crowd - is out. This isn't the first time MLB teams have walled off their ticket sales. Other franchises have used similar residency rules during the playoffs, usually under the banner of fighting scalpers."
Ticketmaster is limiting sales for potential American League Division Series games at Yankee Stadium to residents of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Orders with billing addresses in Canada are being canceled and refunded with no exceptions. The Yankees say the residency rule aims to deter scalpers and prevent bulk buyers from reselling seats for profit. The restriction excludes many Toronto Blue Jays fans who often attend games in the Bronx and could block their first chance to see a postseason Blue Jays victory since 2016. Other MLB franchises have used similar residency rules in past playoffs; Boston says it will not impose such limits at Fenway if needed.
