That is a great promotion. However it is a far drive to Fort McMurray.....

Yeah, one would be foolish to drive to Fort McMurray for the game

Went to a location in Burlington and they do not have tix. Not sure if it is just at GTA/downtown locations.

It will be fun.

Looks like it might be at only one location:

Happy #CampDay! Come say hi at the Front St & Blue Jays location. Here with @ArgosCheer & @TorontoArgos mascot Jason. @TSN1050Radio #TSN1050

The Tiger-Cats have planted alumni and mascots at various locations in Hamilton for this event.

Could be a very padded house on Aug 8. They've already commited 2 free tickets for every ST purchased.

I would think Tim's bought the ticket stock so even though they're 'free' it will count as tickets sold. The Raptors do similar promotions with select Pizza Pizza locations for some mid-week games.

Hopefully, they're decent seats.

How does the new Hamilton stadium compare with the new Ottawa stadium?



My reply:

I know that you don't set the prices and you've been a very good ticket representative for me.*

However I question the wisdom of increasing prices when announced average attendance was dow‎n 4,135 per game to only 17,791 for the 2014 season.*

The Argonauts play in a stadium that seats 52,230 for CFL Football. That means that for the 2014 season the Rogers Centre was at an average capacity of 34%. That's something that the other CFL teams that you're comparing yourself to for pricing aren't dealing with.

Also as per the pricing below that I've found online the Argonauts are among the most expensive at the low end of Season Ticket prices.

The Season Ticket price ranges are as follows:

BC $271 - $1050
Edmonton $235 -?*
Calgary $222 - $839
Saskatchewan $315 - $755 (Student and Senior pricing available)
Winnipeg $254 - $1092
Hamilton $288 -?*
Toronto $255 - $819
Ottawa ‎$229 - $918
Montreal $178 - $839

So I'm not sure who is setting the pricing but I think that they really need to reconsider the prices for Season Ticket holders as they are your most loyal and it's my understanding that you don't have that many left. Especially since I could have just waited for the in season promotions and paid less for tickets.

Given that we had a price increase for this 2015 season and that we will losing the Rogers Centre Fees does anyone think that the new owners will be dumb enough to try to institute another price increase on Season Tickets for the 2016 season?
