If you were one of the first Blue Jays fans to snag World Series tickets at face value when they went on sale Tuesday, consider yourself lucky.
Many people shared their frustrations by ranting and directing profanity at Ticketmaster on social media after a search for seats for Friday’s and Saturday’s games at the Rogers Centre against the Los Angeles Dodgers yielded prices in the thousands of dollars.
Face-value tickets ranged from $345 plus fees for the Outfield District to more than $5,000 for the most sought after sightlines.
One fan revealed a ticket listed at nearly $12,000 in the 100 level behind the Blue Jays dugout. That included more than $2,000 in Ticketmaster fees.
“Resale tickets should NOT be allowed!” Ashley Mathieu wrote on social platform X . “REAL fans want to experience the game and get f—ed with crazy resale. $11k a ticket for a typical $500 ticket … or $3k a ticket on a regular $150 ticket.”
Another said they were waiting in the digital line for 20 minutes before gaining access to the ticket site.
However, all of the face-value tickets were quickly gone as red resale dots were the only option available while highlighting one ticket with an asking price of $6,000.
(Blue Jays) we LOVE you, and this is so cruel,” Chris Daniels wrote . “This is what we get from @Ticketmaster after a 32 year wait. At least put limits on resale vs. face value.”
7309 in queue at 10am. An example of what was waiting when I got in 20 minutes later. 100% red resale dots only. Nothing else. @bluejays we LOVE you, and this is so cruel.

Ticketmaster was called out as many scalpers appeared to have bought tickets and immediately relisted them minutes after they went on sale.
“No cap or guardrails to prevent scalping of tickets,” Will wrote . “The Blue Jays make the World Series, and not a single every day fan is going to be in the stands. Ridiculous resale prices.”
Over at reseller StubHub, tickets in the 500 level were listed at $2,000, $6,000 down the left-field baseline, and more than $12,000 for 100 level infield seats.
“Why is it so hard to have a policy to state if you want to resell the tickets it has to be face value,” one person wrote .
@Ticketmaster @BlueJays Glad to see you guys are for the fans and don't let scalpers resell the tickets. Why is it so hard to have a policy to state if you want to resell the tickets it has to be face value. #WANTITALL pic.twitter.com/bBOBnU2bec

By comparison, the last time the Blue Jays were in the World Series in 1993, two tickets for 100 level in the right-field corner were $78 face value.
“That’s about $220 with inflation but I think these now go for over $1,500 each,” wrote David Fleischer . “It’s a bit wacky.”
Yeah, I know concert tickets and groceries and all that stuff costs more these days

A check of Ticketmaster at noon on Wednesday for Saturday’s game showed no seats for less than $1,500.
One of the more pricier options for four seats behind home plate is listed at $10,000 each, which includes more than $5,500 in Ticketmaster fees.
Blue Jays fans hoping to gain access to the stadium’s Outfield District — the standing-room only section that sells for $20 during the regular season — were left disappointed as those quickly sold out.
“I say this with all the malice I can muster, but f— @Ticketmaster and f— resellers,” another frustrated fan wrote .
“I got in to buy Jays tickets 16 mins after they went on sale and not only was the game already sold out (fine) but the only tickets available were resellers 2,3,4x the price.”
