2019 Season Tickets

[argofan81]

I just took a look at my online account today and reviewed the invoice for my 2019 season tickets. A few things I noticed:

- It appears that my season tickets have increased in price from last year (my seats were $255 per seat and are now $273 per seat -- an increase of almost $20/seat so not too significant). You can find the 2018 pricing structure at www.argonauts.ca/2018-new-season-tickets/ so that you are able to do your own price comparisons.
- Apparently this is "early bird" pricing and if not renewed by Dec. 19th, this pricing is no longer in effect; one assumes that prices will be even higher?
- Once proceeding to the payment section, there is an option to apply a $60 credit -- does anyone know if this credit is the early bird discount or if it is our refund for the missed 2018 playoff game?
- There is also an option to pay in full, pay in 2 installments or pay in 5 installments
- No mention yet of the "benefits" for the 2019 season; Has anyone addressed the one gift per account issue (it is an issue for me as I have two seats on my account for convenience reasons however one seat belongs to a second individual and is repaid to me -- I've been thinking of dropping my 2 seats to 1 and getting a second account for the other individual so that they too can receive the gift for the seat that they paid for)?

I just renewed mine and applied the credit. My tweet below sums up my feelings.

Just renewed my Argos season tickets online and can’t believe how little I paid for 4 tockets. Saved 25% my already really cheap tickets by taking advantage of early bird on line method. Anyone that complains about perks this season can kiss my ass.

The Credit is for the missed playoff game.

I don't see a seating chart yet for next season but it looks like they changed some categories. We are in section 125 which is gold at 408.00 per seat in 2018. It's 576.00 per seat in 2019 which looks to be the same as section 124 which was mainly platinum which was 561.00 last year. I'm not bothered as these sections have always sold well. They we're 699.00 in 2016 and 2017.

Based on the OOS ticketmaster map, it looks like the lower west behind the visitor's bench will be considered gold (424.00) so that pricing looks more in line from demand.

Perks look the same. No pre season game which isn't a loss to me.

There will be auto renewal options for 2020 onwards. Details TBA.

Section 125 here – the price ($576 per season ticket) doesn’t bother me to be honest (as previously mentioned, used to be $700/season ticket). What irks me a little is the “shift” of the platinum section to include us – feels a little sneaky to me for what it’s worth.Three years ago I made a conscious decision to sit in the golds and based on duration, got pretty good “gold” level seats which now have become the outskirts of platinum.Guess in fairness I’m always free to move but I like our section – ah well it is what it is.

Kind of in the dark about price points in the stadium to be honest – guess we can patch it together based on the renewals of fans here though.

My error re: price points - my outdated browser didn't display the seating chart before.

I'm back baby!!!!

I renewed today as well and my credit took care of the cost of the renewal in its entirety with some left over.
I am considering moving seats, and I was somewhat frustrated that they couldn't take care of that for me today.
Their explanation made sense though -- the section I want is relatively busy and they said it would make sense for me to wait a bit to see if there are some people who don't renew -- therefore opening up seats in that section.

Thanks, I was wondering why I didn't see a refund of the playoff tickets. I will try processing it now and see what happens.

First post on this site and I look forward to discussing our favourite team and the CFL. I just renewed my seasons tickets in section 224 and with my credits from last year only paid $170 for 2 seats. I am more than pleased and hope the Argo's marketing team can get the news out how reasonable the prices now are.

[Bill G]

Renewal is in!

Section 225
* Reasonably priced tickets: Check
* $48 credit from the playoffs: Check
* Pay over 5 installments: Check

See you at the games and Go Argos!

When I look at my invoice it states a different price than the one posted online as the "early bird price" in my account --- mine were invoiced at $152 each instead of $202 each as per the websites listing of "package price" through the map on account manager (Section 221).....is the $50 of savings per that I am being offered because I am being an early "renewer"? Is that what other people are being offered as well? what is the early bird price on 219/227 which I see posted as $172 each?

I am also a STH for other MLSE properties, so am I getting an additional 25% off of that number too and the money back from my playoff refund ($152 x 25% (MLSE discount) = $114 - $18 per playoff ticket so a total of $96 each?) --- are others getting the same types of multiple discounts applied (early bird discount and MLSE STH discount)?

Thanks!

Welcome on board. Hopefully, next year is better than 2018.

I'm not sure why you were only invoiced at $152 each. The map clearly says early bird pricing and I know that for me, the map sows my seats at $273 each which is what I was invoiced for. Perhaps the $50 discount is your 25% discount for being a STH for other MLSE -- I.e. $202 * 25% = about $50). Would be interested to know what your $50 discount is if you find out.

I thought that may be it but then I thought that apparently "early bird pricing " would be a whopping $2 less than last years prices also seems wrong too.....plus if it was a 25% discount why would I not be billed at $303 instead of $304 overall.....seemed weird, as there was no indication of my discount being applied on the invoice....

[lazycro]

I think my pricing is down $2? I think it was supposed to be $204 for Navy and it's $202?

2019 seating chart on the website now

https://www.argonauts.ca/new-membership/

As expected section 125 (where I am) was gold last year is now a Platinum hence the large price increase. On the other hand section 122 behind the visitor's bench was a Platinum last year and is now a gold so anyone there would see nice price reduction.

Other smaller change is on the east side. Sections 105 and 110 which are now all silver. Last year the back 5-10 rows we're navy.

Hopefully the increase after early bird is not too much and they have a strong campaign afterwards.

We moved to Section#122 to take advantage of the price reduction and experience another vantage point.
Roll on 2019!

I'm back baby!!!!

That a boy, glad to see you back full time!
Now stay away from that AngeloV guy, he’s a bad influence😛

[GregR]

I paid $1874 for two Club seats last year and early bird is $2222 so a 18.5% increase unless I am missing something.

[AngeloV]

I certainly hope everyone that renewed checked the box to apply the instant credit. I know I did, and my invoice went down by roughly 25% when I diid (from $688 to $515).
