The Toronto Blue Jays will either be playing the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox in the ALDS but it looks like if the series is against New York, fans will not be able to attend games at Yankee Stadium.
Sportsnet announced yesterday that they had quite the viewership increase this past season compared to last year and it looks like Blue Jays fans will have to tune in for away games during the playoffs if things continue this way.

The Blue Jays have a chance of facing either the Yankees or Red Sox in the ALDS but it looks like if they face New York their might be some complications watching away games at Yankee Stadium.
Fans reported that they tried to purchase tickets at Yankee stadium for the potential ALDS matchup but that they are not allowed.
"Canadians who are hoping to catch the Toronto Blue Jays in the Bronx if they face the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series (ALDS) will not be able to get tickets to the games." -Aguliar
When fans tried to purchase tickets on Ticketmaster, a note appeared that only fans from New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New Jersey will be able to buy tickets at Yankee Stadium.
"According to a note on Ticketmaster's website, sales to the event will be restricted to residents of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania." -Aguliar
“Residency will be based on credit card billing address,” the note reads. “Orders by residents outside New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania will be cancelled without notice and refunds given.” -Aguliar
However, the Blue Jays seem to have put in place the same restrictions as a ticket purchaser must have a Canadian address if they plan on buying tickets at the Rogers Centre.
"The Blue Jays have restricted tickets to those with Canadian billing addresses, saying the policy, which began during the regular season, is in place to “keep tickets in the hands of Blue Jays fans across the country.” -Aguliar
Clearly both teams want to make sure that the stadiums are filled with their home crowd to have the most support possible.
Should teams allow all fans to buy tickets?
