A Crazy Price

The Savannah Bananas won't be playing on the cheap in Toronto. A suite for 14 or more people could cost over $9,500.

Most tickets for Bananas games will be sold via lottery. The Blue Jays retain control of the Rogers Centre suites, however, and the team has announced that prices for those start at $9,500 for groups of 14 or more. https://t.co/KOsAqyJsZG
