The Toronto Blue Jays are set to host the Seattle Mariners on Monday for Game 7 of the ALCS. The winner will advance to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, while the loser’s season will come to an end.

With both teams’ historic runs hinging on one final showdown, all eyes will be on Rogers Centre for the biggest game of the MLB postseason so far. The Blue Jays will hand the ball to former Cy Young Award winner in right-hander Shane Bieber, while the Mariners counter with right-handed All-Star George Kirby. Both clubs have leaned heavily on their bullpens throughout the series, and with elimination at hand, nearly every pitcher will be available.

As the excitement grows, the Blue Jays took to social media to make an important announcement. The team provided an update for fans looking to head to Rogers Centre and support the Blue Jays in person.

“Ticketmaster is currently experiencing ticket management issues due to a larger Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage. We are actively working with both groups to resolve the issues as soon as possible and will share an update in the coming hours. Please check back soon for the latest updates and hold off on managing your tickets as we work through this,” the team wrote on X.

The timing of the outage has added a layer of frustration for fans eager to secure their seats for one of the most anticipated games in franchise history. With demand surging and anticipation building, the Blue Jays emphasized patience and reassured supporters that updates would be provided as soon as possible.

The disruption stems from a widespread outage at Amazon Web Services (AWS), which impacted major platforms across the internet — including Ticketmaster, which handles Blue Jays ticketing. Ticketmaster and other event platforms were unable to process transactions or update site content, leaving fans temporarily locked out of managing their tickets.

Rogers Centre is expected to be at full capacity, with a loud home crowd ready to back the Blue Jays in their bid for a World Series berth. For many fans, Monday’s game represents more than just a postseason matchup — it’s a chance to witness history and rally behind a team chasing its first AL pennant and world championship since 1993.

Monday's Game 7 begins at 8:08 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1.
