Contest launched for 500 free tickets to Blue Jays’ playoff home games

Blue Jays fans excited about the upcoming American League Championship Series can enter to win playoff home game tickets.

Game 1 in the best-of-seven series is this Sunday at the Rogers Centre in Toronto.

On Saturday, Rogers announced its latest contests to give away 500 free tickets to every Blue Jays home game throughout the MLB postseason.

Fans can enter to win one of 250 pairs of tickets to each Blue Jays ALCS home game in a “dial the dugout” contest, Rogers said.

People can leave a message to cheer on the Blue Jays by calling or texting John Schneider, manager of the Toronto Blue Jays at 416-987-JAYS (English) or Russell Martin, former Blue Jays catcher, 514-807-JAYS (French), or by posting a message of support on social using #DialTheDugout for a chance to win one of 50 pairs of tickets.

“Start spreading the news, Canada,” said Schneider. “Show us your support by dialling the dugout to cheer on Canada’s team.”

Fans can also dial the dugout using pop-up Rogers phones appearing throughout the ALCS, beginning Saturday in Toronto for a chance to win one of 200 pairs of tickets.

A pop-up phone will be at Union Station in Toronto between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday.

“Baseball fever is spreading across the country, and we want to give fans and customers the chance to experience the Postseason firsthand,” said Terrie Tweddle, chief brand and communications officer, Rogers. “Dial the Dugout is a fun and engaging way to rally the team and give back to Jays fans.”

Messages may be featured in social media or shared with the team during the postseason.
