It has been several years since I have seen pocket Argos schedules anywhere, since they were given to Braley after the 2009 season. The only place I ever saw them was at a oshawa pizza pizza.

There's one difference. Because the Jays are the only mlb team in Canada, Rogers can promote the Jays nationally and attach their name to them. Because Bell is the broadcaster for the CFL it's way more difficult for them to target only the Toronto market with their branding, in the same way that Rogers is able to target Canada. Not impossible, but much more difficult, with the potential of stepping on many toes.
Putting bums in the seats only gets us so far .... We need to have the fun experience and get fans in the seats.
I think it will take some time, but the move to BMO is good. The atmosphere the first two games of this season has been much better than a BC at Argos game when they played on the dome
We don't have the same numbers , but we are getting fans. I think being away from the main tourist area of the Skydome, has reduced our walk up numbers.
So the game on the Monday night against the RedBlacks , I'm having about 16 women for what we call the WSN .... Women sports network ..... One of these days I will make a flag with WSN. So we will have a couple cars in the tailgate .... If anyone on here wants to join in or send in their spouses /girlfriends .... Let me know . I can let you know where we are getting our tickets ..... And how to find us in the tailgate.
I have always said, your experience is what you make it ..... So if I can help others have as much fun as I do ..... Even better.
Looking at ticketmaster for July 24, they have a throwback promotion
https://www1.ticketmaster.com/event/...at4315v1mobile
Upper east side rows 6 through 11 - group section it seems 9.98 each. Multiple of 2s: 19.96 for the pair.
Great deal! But, how are they marketing it? I haven't heard or seen any promotion of this deal. Has anybody seen this deal being promoted? Still haven't seen the family 4 pack deal being promoted either.
Doug Flutie deserves a better day than he is probably going to get. Game is on a Monday night. The team does zero promotion or advertising or use of their media empire to let anyone know. I am prepared to be underwhelmed by how the team honors him. Compare that to what the Als did last year for Ben Cahoon. First class.
GO ARGOS!!!
Hopefully next season we see a change in the pricing and pricing structure as Michael Hook brought up during the fan meetings.
Flutie Bobbleheads are coming. You don't want to miss your chance to get one of these 👀

Pretty good promo, and the pricing can hopefully bring in a few more people.
I am all but certain we will see far fewer price points next year (like maybe five), sharp price reductions on the east side, and some type of price reduction or get-more-for-same-price offer for STs on the west side.

I'm still confused why these issues weren't identified and dealt with prior to this season.
TORONTO ARGONAUTS FOOTBALL CLUB
GREY CUP CHAMPIONS: 1914, 1921, 1933, 1937, 1938, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1950, 1952, 1983, 1991, 1996, 1997, 2004, 2012, 2017, 2022
New sales Director came in pretty late in the off season.
I just got my TFC renewal for 2018 and they are allowing 12 payments. Would be nice if the Argos give that option as well.

It's also on their Facebook and Twitter accounts.
As is the Family Deal:
http://www.argofans.com/showthread.p...99-Family-Pack
But EVERY team has the various "price points", we are going to Ottawa for a game in a couple of weeks time. The end zone seats are the cheapest, then goal line to 20 yard line more money, then 20 to 40 yard line more money, the Southside upper deck cheaper than the lower deck, then the seats from the 40 to 55 yard line even more, then the Premium Club Seats, the Field level seats and the Patio areas.
At least 7 different prices depending on the type of seat and where you sit. It's hardly fair to charge someone that's sitting in the end zone the same as someone sitting in a seat with a better site line on the 30 or 40 yard line.
Hamilton is the same as Ottawa with the 7 or 8 price points.
At BMO I wouldn't expect to have the same price if I sat on the Upper deck east site on the ends or the upper deck 55 yard line. Same on the West side, upper or lower or on the ends or in the middles or the end zone seats. They have to charge the various price points.
The problem is not the price of tickets or the price points, it's about the lack of interest in the Argos in Toronto, reducing the prices will not bring fans to BMO.
The Argos have 13 price points right now. That's allot more than 7 or 8.
With this being a team that's trying to rebuild the fanbase, that's way too many. With the cheapest seat being 20.00. The seat across the aisle is 40.00. On the south west corner, that divide is in the middle of the section. Go down the same section it increases to 35 and that's not even the bottom which are 55.00
With the bad crowds there have been, the 20.00 seats have sold out. The throw back promo is selling well so yes, lower prices are making a difference. Problem is the middle price points don't sell so the 20.00 people are spreading around. 5 or 6 price points are the most they need next season
