ideas for in coming president Michael Copeland

Sure, after all the season ticket holders that didn't quit.

So by your theory, a 1 or 2 year ST holder (in '14 and '15) should get priority over someone that was there from say '90-'13. Sorry, I don't agree.

I understand your disagreement, but if someone stopped being a STH two years ago, would the Argonauts still have an account for them (with an account history) to check their previous relationship?

That's correct. If you quit you're no longer a current season ticket holder and you can go to the back of the line behind current season ticket holders but ahead of brand new season ticket holders.

Anyone who stuck with the Argonauts through the past few seasons (especially 2015) should be rewarded.

If they don't that is bad business. They should have a database with every season ticket holder within a certain time frame. That info is not hard to keep. I hate to give Rogers credit for anything, but I dropped their business 2 1/2 years ago, and they continually contact me to come back. I would hope the Argos do the same with their ST holders that have left.

I'm sure that they do. They probably reach out to past season ticket holders each year to try to sell them tickets, season tickets, flex packages etc.

Do I dare ask how long you've been a ST holder? Seems to me you may be taking this stand for selfish reasons.

[ArgoGabe22]

I wonder what they'll do with the new STHs. I have never been a STH but have a family account that has bought flex and singles over the years. I'm not complaining but just wonder if someone like myself will be considered higher than someone who is completely new. I'm just happy to get to seat in a new stadium.

Yes they do, I was a season ticket holder from 2008 until 2012, moved so for 2013-2014 I didn't get seasons, then when I called for 2015 season tickets, I spoke to my rep and I was still in the system and have the same account number.

To me it would make sense to put you ahead of someone who hasn't had an account.

Some will have their own agenda Angelo, personally I wouldn't sweat it if the reported 7,000 people to date have committed, we will still get good seats.
I would also assume the date you committed with you're down payment will factor in as well.

[R.J]

Not sure why anyone would be concerned, there's 27,600 seats to choose from, there were supposedly 3-5,000 season ticket holders from this past season, I think everyone will be alright in their seat selections. 2014 and under season ticket holders get first dibs, based on seniority, then I would assume anyone who signed up via argosatbmofield would pick next, then probably corporate's, and lastly anyone late to the party.

I'm not sweating it. I feel exactly the same way as you. But people like you and SnowRogue who have had season's in the past IMO should not be put behind a 1 or 2 year current ST holder. There is no doubt in my mind that everyone that has put a deposit down already will be very happy with their seats.

This past season was my first year as a season ticket holder. Not because I didn't want to support the team in past seasons but because I simply couldn't afford season tickets until this past season. I have always attended as many games as I could afford in past seasons. I have also always promoted the Argos in any way that I could (wearing the merchandise, displaying flags, etc., etc.) in those seasons when I couldn't afford the tickets. While I agree that there should be some sort of seniority when choosing our seats, I'm more in favour of a grouping of seniority. For example, those with 10 years plus get first dibs, then 5-9 then 1-4....just because I have only had my seasons for one season does not mean that I have only supported the team for one season and there should be some way to acknowledge that!!

This is where it's a slippery slop IMO, single game ticket holders don't have accounts, so how would they know how many years you've been going to games ?
I agree with grouping seniority, but grouping 10 years plus is unfair to those who've held season ticket for over 30 years. why should someone who has only 11-12 years be given the same opportunity at seat selection over someone with 35-40 years.

Again, I honestly don't understand why some seem concerned about seat selection, there's very few current season ticket holders, so a good seat selection is all but guaranteed IMO. My only hope is that people don't feel super entitled to things and cause a commotion when there doesn't need to be.

Ok so after a quick stop in at National in Peterborough this morning I got Totally PISSED at the lack of Argonaut and CFL merch out there, yet again. It just turns my gut to see every friggin NFL, MLB and NHL team and their shit and yet ZERO CFL. I know everyone on here knows this but it's Grey Cup weekend and a chain like National Sports has squat. I'm so done with it all. Mr. President GET SOME ARGONAUT MERCH IN ANY STORE YOU CAN. Last time I looked I still live in Canada. I'll put the F in NFL alright.

I'd have to double check my ticket stubs but I've had an account with the Argonauts since either 1995 or 1996. A mix of flex packs and season tickets.

[TheHammer]

For Argo season ticket holders in 2016. At least 100 bucks off Grey Cup tickets and 100 bucks off an Argos jersey. We need more fans wearing team merchandise.
Rent out the Molson Amphitheatre at least for the opening game. Get a great band.
Have a team ambassador like Drake for the Argos.
Have a Canadian qb contest just before training camp. The best Canadian gets a practice roster spot for the entire year.
Have a gate named after Argo great Pinball Clemons.

Your thoughts,

Thoughts from a Ticat fan, although I understand my opinion is invalid,

discount - great idea
Band-great idea
Ambassador-if you can get one, great
Canadian QB contest- bad idea
Pinball gate-not sure it'll draw people but a nice gesture for a class dude

[TheHammer]

Especially in Ontario, CFL is only big in CFL cities. It's not a matter of 'hey commish, get these in to stores'.. There has to be demand

Actually, you are pretty bang on here.
