The Blue Jays had better hope the weather is warm and sunny on
Canada Day this year—because they'll need to keep the
Rogers Centre dome open. That's because
ticket prices to that day's game with the Red Sox are 'going through the roof' (see what we did there?). According to a report on
Forbes.com, the July 1st contest fetches an
average ticket price of $121.22 on the secondary market—26.1% above the
season average. By contrast, the April 21st contest against the 2014 AL East Champion Orioles is just $59.21—38.3%
below the season average. Now, part of this is due to the significance of the July 1st date—it's the Canadian equivalent of our
Fourth of July. But, the
remaining games in the Boston series are also wicked high—for example,
the next day (July 2nd) the average ticket price is $117.64. So, apparently, our beloved
Carmine Hose are a big draw this year—even abroad.
