2018 Season Tickets

[BATKINSON001]

Maybe I'm just forgetting but what was the 2017 Season Ticket Holder gift?

We got the toques in the mail but we were told that those were Not the gift. We got the Bobbleheads but those were for Flutie night.

In previous years we got Argonauts Flags, Argonauts Glasses, the 100 Grey Cups book...

What was the 2017 Gift?!?

we haven't received it yet.

[R.J]

we haven't received it yet.

Neither have I.

Aside from the book we've always picked it up at the Stadium so I guess they're going to hand them out at the home playoff game?

I was a Leafs STH for a few seasons back in the early '90's. Second to last row Greys! At the start of each season, the team sent STH the latest HHOF coffee table book, with a letter from Cliff Fletcher on the first page. This was not a franchise that suffered low attendance or lack of STH! It wasn't necessary on their part, but it was nice. A small gesture. Now, I certainly don't require a gift from the Argos to make me renew my ST, but these little things do show appreciation on behalf of the franchise. Kind of like no shipping charges on merch! Merch that, when I wear it around my community, is free advertising for the team!!! Little things, or the lack thereof, do add up...

Understood, but it really is hard to compare the 2. Owning the Leafs is basically a license to print money. If they were losing money as the Argos do, I have to wonder if they would pick up that extra expense.

Oh, I know it's apples to oranges when comparing the two teams on their own...Argos themselves lack money, but Bell/Tannenbaum do have the money. It's just a question of what they are willing to spend on Argo-related activity, whether it be thanking the STH, marketing, or whatever. One thing that could help market the team and say thanks to STH, is to reward the base (us) with a gift we'll wear, like a nice hat or something (those toques don't qualify - I mean something from their store), as well as free shipping of stuff we do buy. As I said, it's free advertising and the Argo colours look great, far and away the best in the city. Get the stuff out into the community. It's an investment!

Well the 2017 Argonauts Season Ticket package stated that it included a gift. It's just odd that we haven't heard anything as to what it is yet.

[Mightygoose]

Last year we got it (the toque) in the off season granted it was added late as it wasn't 'officially' part of the 2016 package.

This is only my second year as STH, when did it traditionally come?

Usually they would have 2 regular season games when you could pick it up at the Stadium.

Odd indeed. And this in the face of when they are trying to get us to renew for 2018. Broken promises speak volumes. Combine this with the lack of anything special for fan appreciation day....why have the day if you aren't going to do anything? I went to Williams Landing after the game on Saturday. I was there for a few hours and was quite surprised at the lack of players/coaches/cheerleaders/staff, especially coming off such a huge win!! Again, so many missed opportunities.

Sorry to hear about your lousy experience at William's Landing, but that may not have been the best game to go. I wonder whether with the bye week, a lot of players would have been making arrangements to get out of town asap to visit family etc. I sure hope we win our home playoff game, because I would like to see what it is like after that.

There was also some event hosted by Maxim after the game as well.

They also told us at open mic that we would get it after the season, same as the toques last year.

They did? I don't remember that. Thanks for the update.

Yeah, and they mentioned that the gift goes to the ST holders whether they renew for the next season or not.

Interestingly I had a phone call from my ticket rep today (someone new) as a push to sell playoff tickets. I inquired about the 2017 season ticket holder gift. He told me that it is in the works (he did hint at what it *might* be, but even that aspect is still to be confirmed) and that if it is not available at the playoff game (or you don't attend the playoff game) then it will be mailed out to us. At least the intention is there to honour the promise. I was told that the delay was due to preparing for the playoff game...
