Celebration highs, lows for Blue Jays fans after ALCS home game tickets sell out

It’s been a rollercoaster day for many Toronto Blue Jays fans, from seeing the team sweep the New York Yankees in a 3-1 series victory to losing out in the race to score home game seats for the next round.

It was a brutal scene on Ticketmaster Thursday morning after tens of thousands of people queued for a chance to see the team play in the Toronto home games of the American League Championship Series (ALCS).

Tickets sold out in moments and are now being resold at much higher prices — some even going for over $1,000 per seat.

With music blasting and champagne spraying from every direction in a tarp-covered room, the Blue Jays celebrated their American League Division Series victory in New York City after ousting the Yankees 5-2 in Game 4.

Soaked in champagne, Blue Jays hitter George Springer said he was proud of how the team has played thus far. 

“This is why you play the game. This is incredible. So happy for our city, our fans. This is awesome,” he told CBC News Wednesday.

Blue Jays star player Vladimir Guerrero Jr. told CBC News that the team needs to keep doing “the work [they] have been doing” to keep the success story going. 

“The year is not finished. We have eight more [games] to go,” he said. 

In a now viral interview with FOX Sports, Guerrero Jr. celebrated beating the Yankees on their home turf with Red Sox legend David Ortiz by repeatedly chanting, "Daaa Yankees lose!”
