Blue Jays Sell Out First 8 Games in Buffalo

Fans are excited for Blue Jays baseball, no matter where they play.

Tickets for Major League Baseball games at Buffalo's Sahlen field went on sale Thursday, and quickly sold out. The Jays will travel to Buffalo and begin play out of their new home stadium starting on June 1 against Miami.

Buffalo Bisons season ticket holders had first opportunity to score Jays seats on Tuesday, and purchasing was opened to the general public Thursday at 10 am. Fans were restricted to a maximum of four tickets per game and could purchase in physically distanced seating sections or fully vaccinated sections. With New York state and local seating guidelines, Sahlen Field will host a 35% capacity.

The tickets sold out in under six hours, with only the team's first eight home games in Buffalo available — against the Marlins, Astros, and Yankees. Tickets for Toronto's homestand beginning on June 24 against Baltimore go on sale to the general public on June 10, but will be available to Bisons season ticket holders early as well.

The Blue Jays are officially saying that their first eight games at Sahlen Field are sold out.

Playing home games out of Sahlen Field in 2020, the Blue Jays posted a 17-9 home record last season. While the team struggled on the road (15-19), success in Buffalo helped lift the Jays to their first postseason appearance since 2016.

Blue Jays General Manager Ross Atkins said Sunday Toronto President Mark Shapiro is in constant communication with levels of government to figure out if a return to Toronto is feasible this season.

"We're encouraged by the communication that has occurred," Atkins said.
