    Season Ticket Sales

    Any official word on how sales are going? I was having a look on Ticketmaster today and there looks like a few more than last year. Perhaps it's my imagination though. I would expect that with a better home schedule this year would help some.

    My old ticket rep told me they are doing ok, not as good as Ottawa. At the RedBlacks event last week Jeff Hunt said that the Redblacks are leading the eastern teams in season tickets sold.

    That's not very good. Maybe once the Braley promotional tour gets started...nevermind.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Any idea how many Season Tickets the other CFL teams have sold? I assume that Winnipeg, Hamilton and Ottawa all got a good bump due to their new stadiums.

    I believe Winnipeg has sold just over 20,000 and are expecting 22,000 which is down from last years 25,000. Ottawa was over 15,000 and Hamilton was also around the 15,000 mark.

    Thanks. Hopefully the Argonauts will get to 10,000.

    During TSN's draft coverage we kept waiting to see the Argonauts commercial. Every team had one and we're still waiting. Nice when an Owner has just given up and just doesn't give a crap. Hopefully the guys have toilet paper in the locker rooms. When Ornest owned the team he was so cheap they had to fight for soap and tp.

    I wouldn't say Braley has given up, he stepped up to keep the team afloat when no one else would. Not a lot of people would do that but from day one he has kept the team on life support, spending just enough to sustain them. I don't think he ever had intentions of owning them long term. It's unfortunate but I can't really fault the guy for that.

    That's pretty putrid, but I'm surprised your rep would actually disclose, they aren't usually in the habit of doing so.

    TV advertising is expensive & overrated. You can get much better bang for your buck elsewhere. As I mentioned in another Thread I'm hearing plenty of Argonauts advertisements on the Fan590 and TSN 1050.

    Also how many other Toronto sports teams pay for their own TV commercials?

    The Argos did have TV commercials in previous years' TV coverage of the draft. That said, I don't understand the value of producing such commercials unless they are also shown during other programming. Encouraging fans who watch the draft to buy season's tix seems to me like preaching to the converted. I can't imagine many casual fans watching that show.

    I would say every one other than the Leafs (and let's be honest, they can't sell any more seats).

    Are you telling me that you didn't see any Raptors, Blue Jays and especially TFC commercials this season? I saw plenty of them. As an Argos fan, I was very jealous of the TFC comercials hyping the arrival of Jermaine Dafoe. How many such commercials did we see when Ricky Ray was aquired? I say none.

    I've seen Promos done by the Sportsnet and TSN but no I don't recall seeing any actual TV commercials paid for by the teams.

    We've been down this road before. If Neely2005 hasn't seen a commercial, he doesn't believe it exists. I don't know how anyone with a TV could have avoided seeing this one, it ran so often:

    I don't recall ever saying that but thank you for sharing what I think.

    Cute commercial, never seen it before. I also don't watch soccer so that may be why.

    From September to April I coach my sons rep hockey team. During that time I really only watch Boston Bruins games, CFL games, HBO and TMN.

    . The Roughriders announced today that they have sold 26700 season tickets. That's also what they have capped it at to leave room for 7000 walkup.
