    Who is going to Ottawa for Grey Cup?

    I'm going for the parties and stuff. Tickets to the game are dependent on whether Argos make it or not.

    We've received our tickets and will enjoy another Grey Cup!

    My son and I are going up on the Thursday to take in the whole Grey Cup festival. Just got our tickets delivered the other day, ( Section BB North Grandstand), and it is exciting that there is a chance the Argos may make it. Really looking forward to it.

    Interestingly, Argos went 9/9 in 2012 and won the Grey Cup over Calgary when Ricky Ray had a hot hand, a very effective running game and Marcus Ball all over the field.

    I don't have to go to Ottawa because I live there. 😀

    As a Redblacks STH, I exercised my option to buy the GC ticket for my seat. Now if only the Argos make it to the big game, the plan will have worked out to perfection!

    I live in Ottawa also, so I will be around town Grey Cup Week. Heading to the game Friday night. The big game is traditionally reserved for my parents arrival from Southern Ontario so we will be watching it at my place as my father is now in his late 80's. He goes back to the Varsity Stadium days and took me down to the old Exe to watch my first Leo Cahill brand of Argo Football.

    It's family.

    I'm sure many of us will be looking at the many tickets available once Toronto knocks out Ottawa in the East Final!

    Exactly. No point in buying tickets in advance anymore. Better to wait until closer to gameday and look for deals.

    The games has already been declared a sellout so that can make the resale market higher this year....mind you if the RedBlacks go out, there could be enough people jumping ship to make it worthwhile.

    I doubt I'll be going even if the Argos make it. My wife being a teacher would have a hard time getting Monday off. The 50 inch is for me this year!

    An all Western Grey Cup could really hurt Grey Cup ticket prices.

    The game is officially sold out, so the only prices that will be hurt are on the secondary market. That affects the people who initially bought the tickets, not the Redblacks or the CFL. Money is already in the bank for them, so they are laughing. What it may hurt is ticket sales for the concert events.

    An all Western Grey Cup would result in lower TV ratings IMO as the game would become more irrelevant in Eastern Canada.
    A minor detail that many Western fans fail to consider.

    I wonder what the historical ratings were for the times Winnipeg represented the east in the GC. That would be a great gauge as to whether or not the ratings actually take a dip.
    It's us vs the rest of the country
