    1980's Ticket Question

    I have come across some tickets (not in person) so I apologize and wish the quality of image was better but I have a couple questions. Hopefully fans of the 80's can provide some answers.

    These tickets read (40, 25, 13) and they are $18. In today's day and age has the team's ticket prices really changed much. Like where would these seats be in today's BMO (roughly) and how has inflation affected these prices. Are these the "cheap seats"?

    Secondly, I can't see if its '81 or '87 but whats with the all Tuesday and Thursday games? I thought this was a more recent phenomenon. Old school football was always Fri-Sun.

    It's hard to tell from the picture, but I think it says Sec. 42, which IIRC was around the middle of Exhibition Stadium's covered north grandstand. My season tickets were sec. 37 which was around the 15- to 20-yard line IIRC. So these would likely be top-end tickets.

    Section#43 Row#50 for us (until we moved across the field).
    The annoying part was a support pole (about 10 rows below us) that partially obstructed our view.

    Definitely in the middle. Grandstand sections were numbered from west to east 33-51.
    It's us vs the rest of the country
