The largest crowd at an Argo game last season was the 24k at the home opener when they brought in all the Ex-Argos and honoured them.
The fans didn't show up for cheap tickets for that game.
I guess the only way to know if cheap tickets attract fans is to offer it again without it being a special occasion game.

No matter how you spin it, even with cheap tickets, bobblehead giveaways, a chance to honour Flutie and Pinball, - only 15k showed up for this game, pathetic
Considering that they only put the 2 for 19.97 tickets on 2 weeks before event and thousands of them sold in that span plus the 20.00 tickets sold out too, yes it was the low price that got them sold. If it was just the bobblehead, then more of the middle price categories as would have sold too.

15,800 may not be good size crowd in the grand scheme of things, but it still beat the Ti-Cats home opener this year that many said would be their biggest crowd of the season and Monday's game would be the smallest. Now with those prognostications proven wrong, it's time to move the goal posts again, right?
