Toronto Blue Jays to restrict postseason ticket sales to Canadian residents only

Earlier this week, Canadian fans were left frustrated after being blocked on Ticketmaster from purchasing tickets for potential American League Division Series games in New York.

Canadians logging on to Ticketmaster to purchase tickets for potential games 4 and 5 in the Bronx were met with a message informing them that sales were restricted to residents of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania and that residency will be based on credit card billing address.

However, the Jays have the same restriction on Ticketmaster for fans looking to make the trip to Rogers Centre from the United States, a CBC report confirms.

This is not a new thing, a representative for Ticketmaster told CityNews of the decision, which is made by individual teams and not the ticket distributor.

If you don't have a Canadian billing address and want to purchase a seat at the Rogers Centre, you will be met with the same block that Canadians experienced when checking out on Ticketmaster.

This restriction applies for both Yankees and Red Sox fans, Thomas Daigle of the CBC reports.

While Red Sox fans may be restricted from initial ticket sales for potential Toronto games, the same block will not be applied for Canadian fans looking to make their way to potential playoff games at Fenway Park in Boston.
