In a little more than a month, the Blue Jays will put winter behind them and fly south for Spring Training. Where the Jays go, their fans can follow.
Tickets for Toronto's Grapefruit League home games at Knology Park in Dunedin, Fla., will be available exclusively on bluejays.com beginning at 9 a.m. ET on Wednesday. Tickets will be available elsewhere on Jan. 15.
The 15 games in Dunedin will provide a sneak peek at Toronto's new additions, such as slugger Frank Thomas, Canadian outfielder Matt Stairs and shortstop Royce Clayton.
All-Stars Roy Halladay, B.J. Ryan, Vernon Wells, Troy Glaus and Alex Rios will also be on hand.
Last season, Toronto finished 87-75 and placed second in the American League East -- the first time the Jays placed higher than third in more than a decade.
Toronto is hoping the new additions can help the club take another step toward making the playoffs, which the Jays haven't done since winning the World Series in 1993.
The Jays' quest will begin on Feb. 16, when pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report to the Bobby Mattick Training Center in Dunedin. On March 1, Toronto's Major Leaguers will move to Knology Park for the spring opener, against Boston.
All of Toronto's home games have a scheduled start time of 1:05 p.m. ET, except on March 21, when the Jays host the Phillies at 7:05 p.m. ET. The Red Sox come back to Dunedin on March 13, and the Jays host the division-rival Yankees on March 19 and 29. Toronto will also play host to the AL champion Tigers on March 17.
Individual tickets cost $18 for lower infield level seats, $15 for upper infield and lower field, and $13 for upper field.
Individual tickets for premium games, which include all home games against the Red Sox and Yankees, cost $24 for lower infield, $20 for upper infield and lower field, and $17 for upper field. Season and flex packages are also available. |
