From the looks of things this'll be the first game where the east side, second deck problem is largely solved. The ticket team deserves credit for that; there's a lot of seats to fill up there. It appears to have created some laggerdness on the upper west side given a too wide price disparity.
I hope the appropriate lessons are drawn and we see a flattening and simplification of the seat map. Are the views at BMO so different that some seats are worth $20 and others worth $120? I don't think so.
I'll admit I've got the cheapest season's tickets. I would pay a bit more if the top tier paid less and we all had larger and more rational sections to move around in.
Plus the field is equipped with a drainage system.
without a doubt they've over priced the seats since the move to BMO. If tickets are priced correctly, in a non sell out situation the stands (where the fans are sitting) should look like a Christmas tree with the upper corners empty and last to sell. With 12-15 thousand at each game there is no reason not to have everyone sitting between the 20 yard lines. Besides maybe really cheap seats in the end zone $10 and kids $5. I was pissed last year when I spent $500 per season seat and I was sitting on the 18th yard and looked across to see empty seats at mid field. Put your fans who are willing to commit and pay in decent seats. Now I got cheap seats (fanzone) and move to mid field every regular season game. Their loss, if they priced mid field East side at $500 at the beginning I would probably still be paying that much for seasons and those would be my official seats. I had a couple of friends interested in season seats last year but didn't want to pay $400 to sit in the corner. Start mid field at $50 per ticket and work your way down $5 to $10 each section towards the end zones.
Tomorrows game will be like the 100th Grey Cup. The prevailing wisdom was that the game would be a neutral championship. Fans from all over with allegiances to all the team's. It would not be an Argo crowd. Calgary didn't even practice with noise. That game was very pro Argo. Kevin Glenn was a deer caught in the headlights. Toronto showed they still had the Argos back in 2012. We may witness something similar tomorrow.
GO ARGOS!!!
My rep indicated, they are hoping to get between 24,000 and a sell out. Who knows, it might just happen.
To-day should have been a big selling day for them , I suspect the weather conditions are affecting ticket buyers . If this rain gets out of here tonight then maybe they can make up some ground tomorrow morning.
The image on ticketmaster for the seating map doesn't look like it's 23000... Hope it's wrong. I want bmo to sellout for once for my Argos.
