The New York Yankees are looking to keep Red Sox fans out of the Bronx when it comes to home AL Wild Card games — at least when it comes to Red Sox fans from Massachusetts.
Tickets to home playoffs games via the Yankees are only available to residents of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. If you manage to make an online order in error, it’ll be canceled.
Fans from outside the four states can still purchase tickets off sites like StubHub.
The Yankees say they’re restricting sales to both fight scalping and prioritize local fans.
That also goes for the American League Division Series, when it moves to either the Bronx or Boston for a game 3 on Oct. 7. If it lands in New York, Blue Jays fans in Canada won’t have access either.
Game 1 of the Yankees-Red Sox Wild Card series is scheduled for 6:08 p.m. Tuesday at Yankee Stadium, with Sox ace Garret Crochet facing off against Max Fried. Games 2 and 3 (if needed) are slated for the same time on Wednesday and Thursday.
