The upper east side at BMO (and THF for that matter) seems to be very tough to sell tickets to. I just noticed that more tickets have opened up / been added to the ticketmaster matrix for the home opener at BMO . I wonder if maybe they are over priced up there , I know at THF there are always discounts for tickets up high on the east side.
The Argos may have to think about doing the same sort of thing till they get their fan base built back up . It will be a shame if the home opener at BMO does not sell out .

TFC has a hard time selling the east side as well. Its usually only 1/3 to 1/2 full.

Scianitti: Argos-Ticats opener will rival Labour Day Classic atmosphere

Interesting that Milanovich became so involved with the defense last season. I knew he was more involved with all three facets of the game, but not to the extent that Scianitti brings up here.

"As of Tuesday, Argos ticket sales were up 1,244 per cent on StubHub year over year.

Having the Tiger-Cats as their opening opponent helps things, as Kelly pointed out that eight per cent of purchases are coming from Hamilton. But Toronto accounts for 18 per cent of sales, with Brampton, Mississauga (seven per cent each) and North York (four per cent) making up the top-five buying areas.

“(It’s) very fair to say Toronto is out to see the Argos for the first time on BMO Field,” Kelly said."
