The cheapest price for a verified resale Game 1 ticket on Ticketmaster was $1,843 as of this morning, with tens of thousands of people waiting in online queues for Games 1, 2, 6, and 7.

For those who can’t secure a spot inside the ballpark, the City of Toronto will host free public viewing parties at Nathan Phillips Square for all Blue Jays home games during the World Series.

The city says fans will be able to watch the games live on a giant screen, with music by a live DJ and Blue Jays trivia for prizes between innings starting Friday at 8 p.m.

Thousands of Blue Jays fans poured into the streets of Toronto last night, celebrating the team’s first World Series berth in more than 30 years after it defeated the Seattle Mariners with a score of 4-3 in a nail-biter Game 7 of the American League Championship Series.
