Who is going to Ottawa for Grey Cup?

[DoubleBlue1873]

I will be in my season seat, section EE, row 12. So pumped to have the Argos in the big game! When I exercised the option for the GC ticket last December, never could I have even dreamed that I'd be watching my beloved Scullers. Seriously, things weren't looking so hot for us last December...

I'm hoping to take in The Shipyard party at Barley Mow on Saturday night. This is our normal bar after RB games. Be forewarned: the place isn't huge and has an ornery barman.

I'll be in Ottawa! Current plans ... Thu: Spirt of Edmonton, FRi: RNation / Grey Cup Festival central, SAT: ARGO Shipyard at Barley Mow ... plus hit some museums / tourist sites (Canadian War Museum, National Art Gallery) ... meet up with some Ottawa friends ... haven't secured Grey Cup tickets, yet .... asking prices on Stubhub right now appear comfortably above what I'm willing to pay.

Welcome on board. Have fun in Ottawa.

I’ll be in section HH on the north side.

Dave Dickenson played or coached in every Grey Cup that I’ve attended and so far he’s been on the losing side every time (2004, 2012 & 2016). Here’s hoping that streak continues.

Am I right that they want $300 per ticket for the CFL Player Awards night? We went in BC, but I don't remember being out of pocket $600?

I was surprised last year that many events are quite pricey. $200 for Joel Plaskett!

Unfortunately I won't be making it. My season seat partner couldn't get away . Have fun everyone!

Update: Procured Grey Cup tix on stubhub. Yess!!

[Tobythor]

Tickets are going for relatively cheap on Stup Hub $85 U.S. Is the lowest I saw. There are plenty of seats on there so prices will probably come down as the game draws near especially for better seats. Kijiji has lots of under face value tickets posted as well.

Congratulations to the RedBlacks for running an excellent Grey cup IMO. We were able to take free transport from Kanata for several days which was excellent. Stadium , volunteers, OCtranspo and events were excellent. Saw some ARGONotes playing with the Sask pep band.....which I really was glad to see...

my NFL friends in Ottawa and here in Toronto were shocked at the great atmosphere and the spirit at the Grey cup.... the fact that fans of all teams go .... and celebrate together ... regardless of who is playing...

I definitely will be going back to Ottawa for the next grey cup they have and hopefully this summer for an ARRGO game... really good news for our league.... Great work Redblacks.

Ottawa and the Redblacks organization did a great job putting Grey Cup week together. Some highlights:

- The Spirit of Edmonton did move to a bar this year. There were two storeys and an outdoor tent. It was fun though (not unexpectedly) it got really crowded. I stayed from about 4 until 10 before heading off to the Bomber House that was close by. I felt like a fish out of water at the Bomber House as I'm certain that myself, Mulder's wife and Mulder were the only easterners in the place. We were with our friends who are Bomber fans.

- Whole host of activities to do in and around the stadium. Partook in the pancake breakfast on Friday. The RNation Party was very well done. It was in the Aberdeen Pavilion and they had live bands (including Flutie Brothers). There was a Quebecois-folk/Cajan band on Saturday that was very good.

I met RB957 at Spirit of Edmonton. Good to meet you sir!

- I am pleased to announce that CFL Fans Fight Cancer raised over $15,000 to benefit Maplesoft Centre (Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation).

Agreed Done Argo, full kudos has to go the the Redblacks and city of Ottawa for a great weekend/Grey Cup Festival.

Went to my second Atlantic Schooners Kitchen party, and it was such a great vibe, seemed more vibrate for obvious reasons. Also got to meet the Commish, really nice guy, and seemed to love talking with us fans. Great vibes overall, some weren't crazy about the snow or chilly weather, but I loved it, and it seemed like people got more into the game as it went on.

The Mulders and I tried to get into the Schooners party on Friday night at around 8:00 PM and that was a bad idea. It turns out we should have waited until 10:00 because that's apparently when the people who arrived at opening left. We ended up heading to the Tweet Up instead.

How was the tweet up ?

I enjoyed it! Started an impromptu game of catch with a few people.

If you want to go to this all you really need to do is ask Max.

Yeah

Good to know.

BTW, I'm not normally into Lobster (prefer crab actually), but the one's at the Kitchen Party were amazing. Never had one before, and I highly recommend.
