Shipyard changes for the BC game.

**Mike Hogan** · 06-25-2019, 05:03 PM

We'll be creating more space for fans in the Shipyard and adding a few more places to buy beer. More details to come before the game, but things will be running more smoothly for the B.C. game. I thought I'd give you guys the heads up here first.

Thanks for your patience and your continued support. We hope to see you there for the Lions on July 6th.

I'll be there, though not at the start of the game as I don't finish work until 630 and it takes time (80 min by ttc, so taking the GO) to get over from east Scarborough.

Mike,
Thanks for the heads up! Appreciate all the efforts you and the team are doing to right the ship.

Great news!
Thanks for the heads up Mike.
I emailed client services today.

Definitely glad to hear this. Thank you!

Kudos to the Argos for being ahead of the curve. Blue Bombers are introducing $5 beer and $3 concessions. Nice to see other CFL teams playing catch-up!

Probably realized that lower prices = higher profits:

Except in Ottawa, fans were buying beer left right and centre at $11. I don't think reducing the prices encourages more sales there.
I really don't think fans mind paying $11 when they are at a sporting even.

Are the lower prices working at Argo games? has the $5 draft beer had any affect on attendance? the other Toronto sports teams seem to be selling the beer at the regular beer prices that you would expect at a major league event.
I was at the Wolf Pack game and big line ups at the beer tents and under the stands at $9.

Why do you continually troll on an Argos fan site when you are not even an Argos fan? Have all the RedBlacks fan sites banned you, Slimy?

That's funny, disagree with someone and you are a troll.

You think that $19 tickets and $5 beers are going to make the Argos a profit?

After one game? Think before you post.

So you are a business advisor to MLSE now? You are a troll because you’ve been banned from here multiple times for your troll like posts, yet you keep coming back with a different name. Don’t know about anyone else, but most sane people avoid places where they are not welcome.

**Topshelf** · 06-26-2019, 05:26 PM

I give full points to the Argos for trying.
They offer way more value that TFC for season seat holders and walk ups.
I think the value beer concept is great, i wish they really took it a step further, like the jays with their value options.
There is no easy answer to bringing the crowds back, i think we are all looking for a magic solution that'll put 25k in the stands each game
Anything new they try cant hurt. If you just get 100 extra people than thats still 100 new people.

Thanks for responding Mike!

Exactly, the season has barely started and you'd think from some of the stuff I've read the league is going to collapse.

GO Transit Season Pass for Members
Another value added. Way to go Hoagie and the Argos!

Great for the 905ers, not so great for those who live in toronto

**paulwoods13** · 06-27-2019, 12:37 PM

It's impossible to please everyone, but pleasing a large segment of your market (those who GO to games) is never a bad thing. I've bought these passes -- represents a large saving over what I'd be paying otherwise to travel to the games. Well done!
