Yankees take ridiculous step to stop Blue Jays fans from crashing potential ALDS games
"Upon logging into Ticketmaster, their policy states the following: "Yankee Stadium is located in Bronx, New York. Sales to this event will be restricted to residents of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Residency will be based on credit card billing address. Orders by residents outside New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania will be canceled without notice and refunds given.""
"Diagle stated in his article that a Yankees representative reached out to CBC News, making it clear that the reason for the ticket block is to combat ticket scalping. A Red Sox representative also reached out to CBC news, saying that it won't be the case for Blue Jays fans should they be the ones to face the number one seed in the ALDS."
The Yankees and Ticketmaster have restricted ticket sales for certain playoff games to residents of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania, verifying residency by credit card billing address. Orders from outside those states, including Canadians, will be canceled without notice and refunded. The restriction applies to potential ALDS games three and four and is also in effect for the Yankees-Red Sox Wild Card Series, preventing Red Sox fans from buying tickets in New York. The Yankees cited an effort to combat ticket scalping. A Red Sox representative said the same restriction will not apply to Blue Jays fans if Toronto advances to face the Yankees. Similar restrictions affected Toronto Maple Leafs fans in the 2025 NHL playoffs.
