It doesn’t matter if you’re a Toronto Blue Jays star, if you’re sitting in the wrong seats at the Toronto Maple Leafs game, you’ll be asked to move.

Blue Jays stars George Springer and Ernie Clement were watching the Maple Leafs’ 4-3 win over the New York Rangers on Wednesday night when they were informed they were sitting in the wrong seats by an usher in a viral moment.

As Springer and Clement were called to take part in the action on the ice, an usher came over and tapped them on the shoulder to inform them that they were seated in the wrong seats.

Springer and Clement got up from their seats and walked up a few rows, then squeezed past a group of fans to the middle of the row, where their two seats were. In their new seats, a few fans recognized Clement and gave him a fist bump as they sat down.

In their new seats, they were shown celebrating a Maple Leafs goal while congratulating the fans around them.
