Fans of the Toronto Blue Jays have waited 22 years to see their favourite baseball team reach the postseason again.

Should the Blue Jays keep up their hot play and get there – Toronto is currently tied with New York for first place in the AL East and FanGraphs puts the Jays' playoffs odds at over 96% – fans wanting to watch the long-awaited action in person at the Rogers Centre are going to have to fork over a hefty sum to get in.

The organization released prices for 2015 playoff tickets Tuesday and you guessed it: they ain't cheap. Just how much will it cost you? Here's a handy chart to help you out:

Round

Single ticket (low to high)

Full series (low to high)

Wild card + ALDS

$50 to $425

$150 to $1,275

ALCS

$100 to $750

$400 to $3,000

World Series

$160 to $1,400

$840 to $5,800

 

Before you get your wallet out and call the box office though, you should know that there's a process here. Season-ticket holders get first crack at buying these bad boys starting Wednesday. Then it opens up to flex-pack holders, followed by new 2016 season-ticket holders. Whatever's left goes on sale to the general public on Sept. 23.

Another note: should season-ticket and flex-pack holders decide they want in, they have to purchase tickets for the entire postseason run. Those 11-game packages go from $1,190 to $9,875. Of course, fans will be reimbursed for unplayed games.

So how do these prices compare to the last time Toronto hosted playoff baseball? Well, a 100-level ticket to Game 6 of the 1993 World Series was worth $78. Yep, it's been a while.
