TL:DR
Okay, so both the Blue Jays and Yankees are acting kinda sus with these ticket policies. Jays only lettin' Canadians cop tix at Rogers Centre and Yankees keepin' it local to the tri-state area plus PA. If you're trying to come from out of town or another country, might be tough to see the show in person.
The Tea
Alright, fam, here's the sitch. The Blue Jays and the Yankees, two major league teams, are playing games with these post-season tickets. Like, they're out here gatekeepin' who can even buy 'em. It's a whole mess.
First off, the Blue Jays are only lettin' people with Canadian billing addresses buy tickets for games at the Rogers Centre. Been like that all season, and they're keepin' it that way for the playoffs, too. So, if you're tryna roll up from across the border, you might be SOL for face-value tickets.
And the Yankees? They're pullin' a similar move. They're only sellin' post-season tickets to peeps in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Their reasoning? Something about being in the Bronx. Canadians are heated about this because the Jays are the only Canadian team, meaning that the only other Canadian team is gatekeeping them too.
The thing is, you can still prolly snag tickets on the resale market (Stubhub, anyone?), but be prepared to pay a premium. No one wants to pay resale prices, that's a total L.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox are chill about the situation. Word is, they not restricting tickets to out-of-state or out-of-country buyers. Also, the Tigers and Mariners usually let Ontario peeps cop tickets, too. Major W.
Blue Jays fans from outside of Canada are malding. They have to pay crazy prices for resale tickets at Rogers Centre, just to get in the door. It's crazy, fam.
And quick update, the Yankees are in a series and already took an L. Tough.
