The TORONTO BLUE JAYS today announced its promotional schedule and ticket information for the 2016 season for premium and regular games, continuing to provide fans with one of the best value offerings in the city and in Major League Baseball.

Single game tickets for 2016 go on sale through all ticket channels on February 11, 2016 at 10:00 a.m., while renewals for existing Season Ticket and Flex Pack holders starts on November 19. New Flex Pack sales will begin on November 23, and Group Sales and Luxury Suite sales will commence on November 25. Complete information on promotions, events and 2016 ticket pricing can be found at bluejays.com.

For only the second time in six seasons, the club has increased prices. Regular game ticket prices will increase $3 to $6 (excluding In-The-Action Seats) while premium game tickets will increase $4 to $10 each, representing an average increase of just over 10%. Tickets remain available for less than $20 in the 500 level, while Jr. Jays Saturdays continues to be a family friendly option with 50% off for kids in select areas. Additionally, like other teams in the city and in Major League Baseball, the Blue Jays will test dynamically priced single game tickets for selected match-ups during the season. The Ballpark Pass will no longer be available.

"The Blue Jays continue to be the most reasonably priced ticket compared to other professional sports in Toronto," said Stephen Brooks, Senior Vice President, Business Operations. "And combined with our promotional schedule, it delivers an unparalleled experience for fans."

2016 marks the Blue Jays 40th season and celebrations will feature many exciting events and promotions. The promotions schedule features many fan favourites including commemorative bobblehead giveaways, Jr. Jays Saturdays presented by Boston Pizza and Canada Day presented by Honda.
