Canada Day weekend, another highly anticipated series comes later in the summer, as the Blue Jays host the New York Mets on June 29, 30, and July 1.
The matchup is expected to draw significant interest, particularly following the Mets' recent acquisition of Bo Bichette.
Canada Day is nearing a sellout. The lowest-priced tickets for the July 1 game were listed at $95.45 in Section 511.
Blue Jays 2026 single-game ticket pricing perceived as price gouging by fans
Despite strong demand, many fans who managed to secure tickets expressed frustration over what they perceive as excessive pricing.
Social media quickly filled with complaints following the ticket release.
«Cheapest Opening Day tickets being $150 is nasty work,» one fan wrote on X.
Another questioned the sharp increase compared to previous seasons:
«Can someone please explain why the home opener tickets for the 500 Level is $187 per ticket? And of course it drops in price the very next game. Tickets for the home opener last year in the 500 Level were $50.»
Others echoed similar sentiments. «$147 for the cheapest 500 level ticket? Are you guys insane?» one user posted.
Some fans also criticized the online purchasing experience itself
«Only all resale tickets and I was 500th in the queue,» one fan said.
Had three tickets in my cart for Canada Day and by time had thirty second text exchange with husband via Siri, never navigated from page, they disappeared and everything but 500 level nosebleeds was gone. 😔
«Why are there so few good seats? One minute after they go on sale and you can't get non-500 level seats for an August game,» another added.
