"The Toronto Blue Jays are warning fans they are dealing with a ticket management issue ahead of Game 7 of the American League Division Championship Series on Monday, due to an Amazon cloud service outage that affected software across the globe. Ticketmaster, a go-to retailer for Jays tickets, was affected by the outage, according to the Jays' social media. We are actively working with both groups to resolve the issue as soon as possible and will share an update in the coming hours,"
"Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides things like data storage, computing power and other digital services to governments, businesses and individuals. The company's outage started early Monday morning and disrupted thousands of websites, including popular apps like Snapchat and Reddit. The root cause of the issue is still under investigation. The outage lasted roughly three hours and AWS said in an update the issues were stemming from its US-EAST-1 Region, which is listed as Northern Virginia on the ecompany's website."
