"Toronto fans celebrated deep into Tuesday morning after their team secured their spot to their first Fall Classic in 32 years. Blue Jays fever is taking over the city following George Springer's dramatic three-run shot, with victory being especially sweet for longtime fans who have endured years of mediocrity and anticlimactic season finishes to finally reach baseball's biggest stage against the Dodgers."
"Scalpers had obviously beaten fans to the punch, using automatic bots to immediately scoop up and resell all available tickets. Blue Jays supporters were quick to hop on social media to express their outrage, with some users blaming Premier Doug Ford's repeal of a consumer protection policy enacted by the previous provincial government to prevent online scalpers inflating the market (Ford later contradicted himself with this statement.)"
Toronto won a seven-game showdown against the Seattle Mariners to secure a World Series berth, driven by George Springer's dramatic three-run homer. Fans celebrated into the morning as the team reached the Fall Classic for the first time in 32 years. Ticket demand surged immediately, with the cheapest seats at Rogers Centre listed for thousands of dollars. Scalpers used bots to scoop up tickets and resell them at inflated prices, prompting outrage among Blue Jays supporters. Some fans blamed Premier Doug Ford's repeal of a consumer protection policy intended to curb online scalping; Ford later contradicted himself. Limited resale alternatives left fans dependent on platforms criticized for profiting from the inflated market.
