Just got the email re: renewals. Guess I'll have to investigate but was hoping to be able to make a deposit now and pay the bulk of it later (as I usually do). Assuming most on this site got the same email. Anyhow for what it's worth I'll be back, even the possibility of watching a competitive team in that stadium is enough for me (also spending the day with my dad is pretty fun too).

Argos Season Ticket Sales Have Begun
I have just received my 2016 ST Renewal notification. How compelling is this offer for STHs to commit to 2017 before Christmas? I personally don't feel an urgency to commit to my ST and will wait. I see I have a new customer service representative. Are the Argos consolidating tickets sales with ML SE or just employee attrition?
Thank you for your ongoing commitment and support as an Argos Season Seat Holder. The 2016 season was a historic year for the Argos as we moved into our new home under new ownership and management. We put in place a strong foundation for us to build upon. And we appreciate our veteran Season Seat Holders, like yourself, for joining us on this journey, and for being supportive, patient, and providing feedback and ideas along the way. We are all better for it, and with your support and commitment we will continue to get better.
We are so excited for the 2017 season. We will continue to improve everything that made Argos football at BMO Field great. Tailgating and the Shipyard will be bigger and better. The game day experience inside the stadium will be elevated. We are committed to making Argos football at BMO Field the best sports experience in the city. And of course, our number one priority is focused on fielding a competitive team, not only for next season, but for years to come. We are just getting started in rebuilding this franchise.
And more than anything, we want you to remain a part of it. We are thrilled to share with you the benefits you will receive as an Argos season seat holder in 2017; five brand new benefits that include additional savings and value, and the return of the Argos Fan Day and Ticket Exchange Program.
But first, here is some important information about your account:
You currently have a total credit of $50 in your account which is comprised of;
A credit from a combination of playoff tickets you purchased as part of your 2016 season seats and following the re-pricing of your Grey Cup seats; and/or
A complimentary credit of $50 as an Argos season seat holder who purchased Grey Cup tickets (prior to October 17) which must be used by December 23, 2016.
If you have any questions about how to use your credit, or your season seats in general, please contact Dane Gomez at dgomez@argonauts.ca or 416-341-2787. In addition, you are welcome to call our Ticket Sales & Service team at 416 341-2746.
Now the fun part. Click HERE to get all the information you need to renew your season seats for the 2017 season and watch a highlight video from this past season that will make you ask, #IsItJuneYet?

Agreed.
While I'm fairly sure I will renew, I want to see what will happen in "football operations" first.
No urgency to do anything now.

Just re-upped. My workplace incentive covered it!
Don't mind the benefits. Would have liked more than 10% off merchandise and be able to use it in the stadium too. That could be added closer to the season.
I like the 4 free extra tickets and be able to use them for any game.
The exclusive entrance should be a nice feature.
I wonder what the exclusive gift will be?
Hope the events will be frequent and glad they finally got this process going.

I was very surprised that season ticket sales weren't being promoted during Grey Cup week.

Not sure if anyone has asked or can confirm.
The 4 free flex tickets, is that per account or per ST making a pair to include 8?
Edit: Never mind, read through the site again and it's per seat. So we have 8.Last edited by Mightygoose; 12-09-2016 at 12:22 PM.

My email also mentioned a different ticket rep as well, however, I just tried to call my old ticket rep and was able to reach his voicemail (still stating that he is manager of client services and ticket sales) so he appears to at least still be with the organization.

To me it reads in an odd manner. I know I only scanned it because I get +50 emails a day, but I personally would have preferred them laying out from me what the benefits to me are and then having a link to what I need to do for them. Lead with benefits and link to costs. I didn't even bother to get to the bottom of the email before I bailed. Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't even have considered this offer. Also, with a new customer service rep. I likely wouldn't even have called a new rep for clarification.
Just yesterday the Winnipeg Blue Bombers emailed me an offer that seemed appealing.

The Argo email was fine.
After the 'cover letter', it got right to the point and the link was right there.
I don't care for long winded emails anyways, so the Bomber one may have lost my attention span. The distance from where I live compared to Winnipeg would be the deal breaker for me...lol

I think you'll be fine. They will work with you. In the past I have waited until March to renew. I know it's different management now, but they are not going to push away someone that wants to renew but just wants to wait. Originally Posted by Kenners

I believe that it's January 31st, but if you have the $50 Grey Cup credit it expires December 23rd. Originally Posted by Kenners

Still haven't decided on whether or not I'll be renewing. My seats from last season are now part of the group sections, so works for me as I wanted to move to the West stands anyways. Also happy to see some decent benefits added this season - 15-20% merch discount would have been nice lol.

I see some posts re: costs and the use of the credit. So I have some credits in my account from moving Grey Cup seats, etc. too. I asked about instalment plans and was told i could do a third now, 1/3 Feb. 28 and 1/3 end of March. This will let me use the credits up so that's going to be my plan of attack. I know they'd love me to buy parking passes already too but I'm in no rush to do so now...

Has anyone found out where the STH-only gate will be?
I admit that I like that perk.

It is certainly a tough sell right now. Have no idea who will be playing for the team, coaching them or looking for new talent. Even the structure from President down is up in the air. With all the uncertainty, I'll wait until May and then make an informed decision.

Decided I couldn't turn my back on the Argonauts and renewed today.
Managed to get upper level 1st row while moving from $899 to $699 per seat, Tyler was great to deal with and received a follow up call from Rob Richardson.
Very pleased!!Toronto Argonauts
