    Agreed.

    Depends if the Argos make it or not. This thread inspired me to book a cheap hotel for Saturday and Sunday that I can cancel at no cost untill November 24. A dive of a place, but only 20 min walk from the stadium lol. Here's hoping the Argos make it and Ottawa fans want to dump their tickets!

    Well if Ottawa doesn't make it there could be lots of tickets available:

    I wouldn't count on that. I think the football fans in Ottawa will support the event and enjoy themselves regardless of the RedBlacks playoff success.

    I believe you are right. It seems that people in Ottawa have really embraced the CFL and that TD Place is where people want to go and be seen. When you factor in the "Canada150" factor, I think Ottawa fans will still come out in droves.

    Got a great offer to visit relatives a couple of blocks from the stadium so will be in Ottawa and taking part in the festivities. Going to the game itself only if Argos get in and I can scrounge tickets from disgruntled RB fans or somewhere else.

    Redblacks swag and CFL diversity tees everywhere in this town. It has been wonderful to be here in this city to watch a franchise rise from the ashes. Jeff Hunt and gang have been able to rekindle the history, while delivering something new and fresh.....and it's a thing.

    I never doubted that Ottawa would thrive as long as they had good ownership. Hunt is a great owner who gets it with a history in the market. Ottawa football will be strong for a long time with Hunt leading the way.

    Living in Vancouver, it's too expensive for me to go to Ottawa. However, I plan to go the next GC in Vancouver. Hopefully, the Argos make that one. I did see one of the best ever live - the 1987 one in Vancouver. Unfortunately, the Argos lost that high scoring classic to Edmonton 38-36.

    Just booked my hotel and bought tickets on StubHub. AAAAARRRRRGOOOOOOSSSS!!!! US dollars and service fees are a real rip off on StubHub but with the Argos there it is worth every penny.

    I finally checked our pair and we're 13 rows up behind the Argos bench! Can't wait.

    Going with my son. Flying out on Thursday to take in the whole festival. Never dreamt after last year that we would be where we are, but it is just amazing. What a turnaround. I am so proud of our team. Go Argos.

    For those still interested in attending, I read on Twitter that are plenty of tickets available on Kijiji, although I haven't checked.

    I experimented with so cold weather clothing combinations for Ottawa with good success. Marks Work Warehouse sell "Heat" pants and socks. With the Season Ticket gift blanket, we kept very warm throughout. I am happy to say we're ready the worst Ottawa has to offer in late November.

    I will be around for Grey Cup week. But watching from home so I can watch with my 88 year old father, mother, brother and family. My dad introduced me to this team, so it's become a family thing. I save him from the crowds, but will make sure I hit up a couple of events. The Argos will be hosting a party on Bank Street on Saturday night at the Barley Mow.

    I superstitiously would not even think about buying tickets until I had a good reason to do so. Now that I have one, I not only scored two nice tickets from RB fans but I have a friend who wants to unload four tix. They are looking for face value, $400 each. If anyone wants two or all of them, DM me.
