Some Blue Jay fans got the party started a little too early before Monday’s home opener.

GO Transit officials say some fans taking the GO train to the Rogers Centre were issued liquor infraction tickets.

“(Transit Safety Officers) issued numerous drinking in public tickets on inbound #BlueJayOpener trains,” TSO Anthony Iafrasle tweeted.

“Zero tolerance will be given to those found drinking alcohol on our trains. You’ll get a ticket and lose your booze. Not worth it.”

The number of tickets issued to the BYOB train riders Monday were in the low double digits.

“It’s not a good sign if you are drinking on the way in, but at least people weren’t drinking and driving,” said Metrolinx spokesman Anne Marie Aikins.

“It was a big game and people were excited and for the most part. People were just happy. Large crowds can be difficult to manage so we took a zero-tolerance approach to give people the message there is no drinking on the trains.”

Infractions were also issued on the homebound trains, officials said.

Public drinking on a GO train is a provincial infraction with a fine of $125.

The confiscated booze is flushed on the train.
