The Toronto Blue Jays may scrap their $2 Tuesdays ticket promotion after ugly brawls erupted in the stands during the discount night's season debut.

Blue Jays president Paul Godfrey watched the fights from his private box during Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Oakland Athletics at the Rogers Centre, and decided immediately that alcohol sales would be banned from the $2 sections for the three remaining promo dates this season: May 6 versus the Tampa Bay Rays, May 20 versus the Los Angeles Angels, and June 10 versus the Seattle Mariners.

If trouble continues despite the ban, the program won't return in 2009.

"We're not going to tolerate that kind of behaviour," Godfrey said before Wednesday's contest. "You don't associate that with Toronto and you don't associate that with this ball park.

"It's not going to continue."

There were also several melees in the stands during Friday night's 6-3 home-opening victory over the Boston Red Sox, video of which has found its way on to YouTube.

About 100 fans were ejected that night and another 100 fans were tossed Tuesday.

Both times, the trouble was in the upper (500) level of the stadium and was "alcohol related," according to Godfrey.
