    So my rep was not wrong with the figure he mentioned to me.
    This survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3,000, 19 times out of 20.

    I think they will likely cap any season ticket sales. That is what I meant by holding back for flex packs and single game sales. If they were to sell out with season tickets only, then they would only expose themselves to the same 25-27 k every game and no one else. Even the Leafs cap season ticket sales to below their capacity.

    I believe the goal originally was 20k season ticket holders. Copeland and Moore also mentioned how they wanted to ensure singles would be available for as many potential fans as possible to experience the "New" Argonauts. The North end zones are still not available for sale; I wonder what the thinking is behind that ?
    From my understanding without the North end zones included - seating capacity is 26,000 and with it included - seating is 27,600 as previously mentioned.

    Season ticket caps are essential. There has to be hope for the casual fan in any fan base to get a ticket once in a while. It would be a nice problem for the Argos if they ever hit their max.

    Wow, the last time the team had this type of a pleasant problem was at the Exorcism Stadium days.

    My quick math has 15,343 tickets still available. roughly 10,700 sold. I was told capacity will be 26,000. Also of note: three dollar beers.

    That's funny. This whole thread has reached 225+ posts because of your insistence of 15k being the actual number, and now you are back peddling.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    Never back peddling, I stand by what my rep told me now likely 15K+ is where we are at.
    I did not make up those numbers, unlike some here who are categorically ruling this out and based on what, because it does not sound right?
    Take that to the bank, because it does not sound right??

    It's early days, but I see signs of cautious optimism just looking in my own network. Last year, none of my buddies wanted to attend a game. This year, they all want a ticket. I offered another friend an extra pair of tickets free and she wouldn't take them. She ended up going to a game with three friends and is now interested in seeing a game at BMO. Another friend who holds Leafs and Jays tickets was thinking about adding the Argos after I mentioned buying season seats. The hard part now will be converting this nascent interest into ticket sales, but at least the team has something to work with.

    $3 beers? They're more than that at TFC games.

    I'm not sure we have to worry about that. Let's shoot for 10K season ticket sales first and go from there.

    That would be pretty cool. Hopefully they have some good beer choices. The last time I was at BMO Field the beer choices were lacking.

    I think that we're already Over 10,000. (My opinion based on the online availability per section)

    According to my calculations and based on a capacity of 27,600 - there's been approx 11,900 sold
