Single game ticket sales

Argos have already started selling tickets to individual games. Interesting (and smart, IMO) move. Typically teams don't start selling single games until May 1. I've never understood why they would hold back individual sales so long. No doubt they hope to move season tickets, but waiting until May for the other option seems dumb. Interestingly, none of their three division rivals are selling individual games yet, and at least one of them (Ottawa) is advertising May 1 as the date they go on sale.

Perhaps the Argos have recognized that pushing season tickets isn't necessarily the right strategy. Maybe they've shifted to the mentality that let's give people the opportunity to get into BMO for 1-2 games, see if they like it, and then hopefully follow up later to see if they want to upgrade to seasons.

I am going to grab some Rider tickets beside my Season Tickets a bit early this year as hoping we will get good crowd since we haven't played the Riders ( or Bombers ) in years. Playing every team once and not overloading on RB and TC games makes so much sense. Sure would be nice if we could get capacity crowds for Bombers and Riders.... Hope we can make MLSE think about opening up the east grandstand for the Rider CNE game at least...
