    Don’t know yet if I’ll renew, they had a chance to restructure their ticket prices and didn’t. Hard to comit to a full season when I can get $12 tickets from deal sites during the season. The ticket prices are the same, however cutting benefits of begin a season ticket holder to me means I’m paying more.

    Argos are my favorite sports team.... other than being a causual leaf fan... they are the only team I follow in Toronto.... I think the management team for the ARGOs has done an excellent job this year ... especially love the tail gate and 4$ beers ... The ARGOs need our support so put a deposit down last week.... . Go ARRRGOS.

    Hi all. I am new here but have been a fan since the late 60's. i have been a STH at BMO for both seasons - such a great place to watch the Argos! I sit right behind the Argos bench this year - last year I was on the east side. I am disappointed in losing the flex tickets. i used them all to bring friends or let me 16 year old son and his friends go to a game. Exposing people to the great game experience is vital in my opinion. I have read through this whole thread. I agree that it is great that Argos management is on here and listening to fans. I do agree with many that if you water down the STH benefits it is harder and harder to justify the expense. I know that I can sit in great seats on a game by game basis buying tickets on the secondary market. Part of the reason I bought season tickets last year was that I thought that the move to BMO would attract more fans and the place would fill up. It still amazes me that we can't get more fans in a City this size. I will probably renew as i like being a STH and sharing the experience with others. But unless there are real defined benefits, I can see more and more people not renewing.

    We know that Jamie Dykstra and Michael Hook check in and read the forum. Maybe they read this thread and provide some answers. Over to you Michael........

    Hi guys Spoiler Alert here. I asked Michael Hook and he said that we will be getting it at the playoff game. He also told me what it will *Probably* be. So if you want to be surprised stop reading Now!

    Not a spoil at all. Now I can tell my son not to wear any down if it's chilly! We'll likely be wearing the toques....weather permitting.

    I guess, we'll get some communication soon on how would we get them. Assuming we'll have to go to gate 3?

    Hopefully it won't take them long to mail them out (I will be moving in December and would like them before then) as I won't be at the playoff game if it is on the 19th as I am helping my parents move furniture.

    What happened to these? I was at least expecting an Argos logo on the blanket, and my expectations are always pretty low.

    the email said they were branded. I haven't received mine yet as a bud who was attending the game was picking it up for me.

    Small A on the corner. I was thinking it'd be in the middle of the blanket itself.

    Just thought I would chime in here.

    All season ticket holders will receive a small gift from us as a thank you for your support. This will be given to all 2017 season ticket holders and each person would receive one gift per seat in their account. Our plan is to have these distributed at the playoff game on the concourse. You will receive communication on how to obtain it but in all likelihood you will receive a voucher that we will scan so that we are not flipping through sheets of paper. Our goal is to make it as efficient as possible.

    On the post about Williams Landing, we did have another post game event which did have some players at. For the playoff game we will be looking to host a pre-game party at Williams as well we will have the post game event which pending a win would be attending by most. That said players/coaches are not obligated to attend but we certainly encourage it as it is a great benefit to the fans.

    Thank you

    Thanks for the update. With the early 1PM Kickoff are there plans for a Tailgate? I believe that 11AM is the earliest that you're allowed to serve alcohol in Ontario.

    We will be hosting the normal tailgate on November 19th but will confirm when we would open might open the lot sooner but alcohol won't be sold until 11am. If we host on the 12th we will not be hosting tailgate due to the Winter Fair. We will however be hosting a party at Williams Landing (drink specials etc).

    Stay tuned for more details once we have our date confirmed.

    Thanks again for the update! Will you be having the Williams Landing pre and post parties regardless of the date of the game?

    These blankets sure came in handy thus week and will certainly be very important accessories during next Sunday' Grey Cup!

    is it the same size as the freebie ones that freedom mobile handed out last year at grey cup?

    Compared to the one in the Argos store last year, which I have, it was roughly 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the Argos store one.

    I can't answer that question, but can say they were big enough today!

    Also want to echo the thanks of everyone else here on the board. As a 20 year season ticket holder, I have to say that Mike and team have been absolutely spectacular at allowing the fans in to help promote the team, and at coming up with new ways to promote the Double Blue. Much more work to do, but great job on the Eastern final today!
