The Blue Jays’ first home series is a three-game tilt against the Seattle Mariners with the home opener today, April 8th and the next two games on Tuesday at 7:07 PM and Wednesday at 3:07 PM.

If you’re thinking of grabbing some last-minute tickets for today, tickets are selling fast but start at $140.88.

Want to save some money? Just wait until Tuesday’s game.

Tickets for the Tuesday match-up start at $23 and it’s also the first Loonie Dog Night of the season! Enjoy $1 ballpark hot dogs and cheer on the Blue Jays – a win-win.

Wednesday is a daytime game, so you may have to call in sick to work (but you didn’t get that idea from me).

Tickets also start at $23 for Wednesday and can be purchased here.
