We're less than a month away from Opening Day of the Toronto Blue Jays era at Coca-Cola Field as the Bisons host the Rochester Red Wings on April 4 at 2:05 p.m. in the first game of their new affiliation. The Bisons are putting individual tickets on sale today for all games of the 2013 season in a special Internet-only offer at Bisons.com.

There are no service charges for the online presale, which begins today at 9 a.m. and runs through Friday at 9 p.m. Tickets to all 72 home games are available and that includes the ultra-popular dates like Opening Day, Star Wars Night (June 22), Independence Eve with the BPO (July 3), the just-announced Bobblehead Night featuring R.A. Dickey (July 24) and Fan Appreciation Night (Aug. 29).

In-person sales for the 2013 season begin Saturday at 10 a.m. in conjunction with the team's annual Open House at the ballpark. That runs from noon-3 with free admission. All fans receive a free Sahlen's Hot Dog and Coca-Cola soft drink. Fans will also be able to purchase a ticket voucher good for two tickets to Opening Day for only a $5 donation to Coaches vs. Cancer.

There will be tours of the press box, clubhouse and party suites, a chance to view artifacts and trophies from the team's history, raffles, merchandise sales and kids activities like XBox Home Run Challenge on the Bisons TV HDBoard.
