No Sarah saw Russia from her porch?

Actually Sarah Palin never said it, it was Tina Fey dressed up as Palin on Saturday Nigh Live that said it.

Looks like it's back to around 5k available today

Hmm i better buy my flex pack.

I just came across this posting also today in the cfl site:



"Today's count
Looks like

389 end zone seats left
1280 to sell out the one side of the stadium
2907 to sell out the other side.

Looks like Argos will sell out what ever that total number represents.

The Argo rep told me they were not restricting the number of season seats. His name and Argo phone is on a previous post on this thread".

24 000 season tickets sold? Nice dream. I wish it were true. No matter what you write Tom, you will always be the silly man who claimed 15 000 seats sold back on February 5th. I applaud your enthusiasm and optimism, but there will be no "I told you so" forthcoming vindication.

Thanks for that vote of confidence AZ?
Nice though, "the silly man"??
I am merely reporting what is out there.
Since the team has not officially provided an update, all bets are off.

What reporting? Nothing you are "reporting" is official. We all hope you are right, but the fact that they have been selling 3 game mini packs for weeks, proves you are not.

Dunno where they got those Numbers, if they are taking them from. The count of remaining seats for the home opener then the remaining number might not be a good or accurate representation for season ticket holders

The strange thing about the numbers is that I had been checking the virtual venue weekly, since you posted about the 15k at the beginning of Feb.
Between Feb 7th and April 25th there seemed to be an average of 100 seats per week that appeared to be not available, or 100 sold per week.
The seat availability went down by around 2k by April 25th. I don't know what happened between April 25th and the 3rd of May because they went from almost 13,000 available down to 5,000 available.
Did they sell 8,000 in that one week? why?
That is one reason why that "Virtual Venue" is useless in determining how many tickets have been sold, I just can't see why they would all of a sudden sell 8,000 seats in one week especially that week

[ArgoFanFrank]

That time would have corresponded with when they started making 3-game flex packs available. They would have had to pull these out of circulation from the season ticket pool - my guess is that this is what the 8,000 reduction in seats available on the virtual venue would have represented, or at least most of that number.

It will become more accurate on June 1st when single game tickets go on sale.

The answer to the teams ST count is the most anticipated for many years, more so dare I say than the health status of RR?

Only because of what we've made of it here, LOL. Over 600 replies related to your post AT! At this point I am confident we will never know the number for sure. We haven't for the last 20 years or so, why now?

Pretty obvious that for every 3 game mini pack sold, that reduces the number of available ST's by the same number.

[R.J]

I think it's a safe bet the Argos have at least 10,000 ST sold, but beyond that = ????

They also blocked off a bunch of tickets recently for group sales. Once they're done, the unsold seats will be released and a clearer picture will be available.

Based on what, where is your source?
At least I had one.

No you didn't. Your source could not be verified, therefore it is not a source. When you say that a ticket rep told you this, yet everyone else asked their ticket reps and got no answer, that makes your alleged source nothing but hearsay.

Wrong again.
I had my rep told me over and over the amount.
Meanwhile again you are generalizing "everyone else asked their ticket reps", how do you know that?
Even if I partially agree with your premise, the team having heard what was told me as this was after blogged by a reporter no doubt put the gag order on the ticket staff.
