Actually I have had an account for about 5 years despite not having seasons or flex packs -- can't remember how that came to be?!? But that aside, my examples of groupings could be expanded (more added) to incorporate longer ticket holders. All I was trying to get across is that while I do agree that someone who has held tickets for 30 years, etc. should have priority over me, I don't necessarily agree that someone with 5 years is any more of an Argo supporter / loyal fan than I am. It was simply an issue of affordability and living within my means.
If a grouping system were put into place, a lottery could then be done within each group. Then it would come down to luck of the draw which seems a bit better of a way (in my opinion) to recognize the fact that you can be a loyal fan without having season tickets.
I disagree, and again it's a slippery slop. Someone who's been a season ticket holder for 5 years should have priority over someone who's only been a season ticket holder for 1-2 years (FYI I'm technically in the 1-2 year boat). What if they've been buying single tickets and flex packs for 10+ years and buy a bunch of merch each year, same scenario no ?
The only way to do it fairly is to base it on season ticket seniority. Too complicated and unfair to a lot of season ticket holders if done otherwise.
The 3000 or so ST holders that decide to renew, should get dibs where they wanna sit. I am fine being 3001, as there will be 22000+ more seats to choose from.
BMO will be the Argonauts smallest home since it's days back at Varsity so I'm sure every seat will be a good one.
I placed deposits for 2 more ST this week. Rep said they have not even started their real marketing push yet, but they are over 9000 and selling some every day. very steady sales

From my understanding they've sold around 10k and that number doesn't include corporate ticket sales as of yet. I've been thinking about getting another 2 tickets, but just unsure how many games I'd be able to fill those seats.
If these numbers are true -- and there is no way to independently verify anything -- they have sold 9,000 (or whatever) $50 deposits, not 9,000 season tickets.
Of course it is, It wasn't planned by David Braley... I am not worried about the Argos anymore which is a relief to myself, I cannot imagine how you Argo fans feel to finally have stability. On a side note, I really hope the Lions get sold to the Canucks for similar reasons. David Braley has been a mixed blessing to the CFL.
I didn't even know Braley had a best before date. As far as I am concerned he has been a failure at everything cfl football related. Disaster of a job in Hamilton, a joke and absentee owner in Toronto and like what we saw this year in b.c. Just plain embarrassing. Like I predicted before this year I said he is going to drive that franchise in b.c to the ground if you think this year is bad just wait for next year to see how bad things really get especially now with this idiot commissioner we have now.
Anyways back to the topic at hand I think copeland should make sure all employees of the Argos who work in the office fill out a sheet stating what hours they worked and what they accomplished with each day they worked as well with that sheet they should give an example each week to what they did to bring back respect and pride to the Argos organization. There should be no fooling or slacking off that goes with working for the Argos something the previous administration didn't take to hard at doing.
