Toronto Blue Jays ticket prices soar on resale amid winning streak
The Toronto Blue Jays appear to have hit a grand slam at the box office as the team continues its winning streak at the Rogers Centre.
So far this season, the team has sold out 12 games – including four in a row since returning from the All-Star break last week.
On Monday night the Jays defeated the New York Yankees 4-1 to win their eleventh game in a row at home – a franchise record for the longest home winning streak.
On the heels of Monday's record-breaking victory, tickets for Tuesday's game against the Yankees were re-selling on Ticketmaster for as much as $1,952 each for a pair of seats behind home plate, while the cheapest pair of tickets in the nosebleeds was going for around $170 a piece.
Ticketmaster was showing similar prices for Wednesday night's game, as of Tuesday afternoon.

The remainder of the homestand with the Yankees is mostly sold out, though last-minute holds could be released through Bluejays.com.
One change to know about for those who haven't been to a game in a while: the team no longer sells tickets on-site at the Rogers Centre. All tickets are sold through the team's website, which uses Ticketmaster.
The Jays are playing the Yankees Tuesday and Wednesday before hitting the road to take on the Tigers in Detroit.
The Jays currently hold a four-game lead over the Yankees in the American League East.

Tanner Gordon's 6 scoreless innings help Rockies beat Cardinals for their 1st shutout of the season
DENVER (AP) — Tanner Gordon pitched six scoreless innings and Ezequiel Tovar hit a home run to help the Colorado Rockies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0 on Wednesday and win back-to-back series for the first time since Sept. 13-18, 2024. Gordon (2-2) gave up four hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Jimmy Herget threw two innings of one-hit relief before Tyler Kinley pitched a 1-2-3 ninth. The trio combined for Colorado's first shutout of the season. The Rockies hit five consecutive singles in their four-run second inning off St. Louis starter Andre Pallante (5-7) and Jordan Beck added an RBI double in the fifth to make it 5-0. Tovar's solo shot in the eighth capped the scoring. Germán Márquez, who was scheduled to start for Colorado, was moved to the 15-day IL earlier Wednesday due to right biceps tendinitis. The Cardinals snapped their streak of scoring at least four runs in 11 straight games at Coors Field since Oliver Marmol became manager in 2021. Key moment Ryan McMahon drew a leadoff walk and, after Tovar flied out, Austin Nola, Kyle Farmer, Adael Amador, Tyler Freeman and Mickey Moniak hit five consecutive singles to give the Rockies a 4-0 lead in the second.

Toronto Blue Jays apologize to fan who had ‘Yankees Suck' flag confiscated
Alex Di Domizio with the flag he had specially made to read 'Yankees Suck' with a Jays logo in the centre. (X/@AlexDidomizio08) A Toronto Blue Jays fan was left quite confused when a flag he had brought to Monday night's home game against the New York Yankees at Rogers Centre was confiscated, despite not breaking the ballpark's rules. Alex Di Domizio, a Blue Jays fan who 'absolutely hates the Yankees,' decided to bring a flag he had specially made to Monday's home game against New York. It read 'Yankees Suck' with a Jays logo in the centre. 'The usher in our 200s section didn't seem to mind, but another usher came over and almost yelled at our usher for allowing me to hold a flag,' Di Domizio told CP24. 'I was holding the flag for about 10 minutes and they took it just before the game started.' Di Domizio said the second usher's main issue was that his flag said 'Yankees Suck,' and he was worried he might get kicked out after a security guard went to him and asked to 'talk outside.' 'Turns out he wanted me to bring the flag to fan services,' Di Domizio explained. 'He said I could get it back after the game.' Di Domizio said he brought the flag that night because he didn't think it would be an issue. 'I didn't swear on the flag or anything like that.' Rogers Centre's policy states that fans are welcome to bring banners and signs provided they do not 'interfere with the game itself or any game-related events, or with the ability of other fans to enjoy of the game or any such events, or contain messages, graphics or other content that may be considered distracting, commercial, religious, political, or intended to draw attention to international, political or other similar events, causes or conflicts.' 'Banners and signs must be family-friendly, and may not be obstructive, offensive, disparaging, unlawful or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate,' the policy continues. In a statement to CP24, the Blue Jays clarified that Di Domizio's flag was indeed allowed in the ballpark. 'We made a mistake and have addressed the issue to ensure it does not happen again. We have spoken with the fan to apologize and invited him back to a future game, which he is looking forward to attending.' Di Domizio said he's glad the organization made things right and it was never a question that he would remain a fan. 'It feels good to know that the (organization) apologized and recognized that there was nothing really wrong with my flag. At the end of the day, I'm a huge Jays fan who absolutely hates the Yankees. Getting something confiscated sucks, but it doesn't stop me from coming to future games.' Earlier this year, Dan Begley was escorted out of Rogers Centre during the Jays home opener for wearing a red ballcap with the slogan, 'Canada is not for sale.' The Blue Jays also apologized to Begley and said their staff made a mistake and the issue was addressed to ensure it never happens again.

Orillia outsiders slapped with surcharge for using rec facilities
Big changes could be coming to the cost of fun in Orillia... especially if you don't live in the city. Those living in neighbouring communities to Orillia will be hit with a 50 per cent surcharge when using the city's recreational facilities next year. This increase will apply to various programs like swimming, summer camps, and memberships but not to user groups like minor hockey and figure skating. The city says more than half of its recreation users are non-residents and city councillors see this measure as a way to recoup some costs in next year's budget while maintaining service levels. Mayor Don McIsaac saying, 'Residents have given feedback, and they say, 'Look, it's not appropriate that we subsidize people from out of town. I mean, Orillia provides services, we have beautiful parks, we keep those up, people from out of town, we encourage our users of the park so people come and use the park, we're fine with that, but the rec center and the library, those drive our costs, and we just want to make sure we recover appropriately and don't unduly burden the taxpayers of Orillia.' The city says communities like Oro-Medonte, Severn, and Ramara can pay a lump sum to avoid the surcharge for its residents. They have time to negotiate that sum, with this measure to go into effect next May.
