I'm guessing 28,000.

Here's how it's looking right now (Nov 11th) I'll update daily if I can.
35000 - 40000.
EDIT: It looks like they're not opening the upper bowl so I'll change that to 32000.

I am going on the hook as an Argo season ticket holder of many years and with this East Final match up, surprisingly not seen since 1986, that not only will Toronto wake up but the Hammer will likely bring in upward of 15k.
So we have to have 40k plus, in a city known for attending only a big "event"?
We can only get to 40000 if they open the Upper Bowl. As of right now they're not going to do that.
I'll be happy with 30,000 and a great atmosphere. They won't open the upper deck unless they are within 1,000 of a sellout on the current configuration by midweek, IMO. I really hope that people wanting to go, don't wait until game day to buy their tickets, because if they haven't prepared to open the 500 level by Sunday, they are not going to open it at the last minute.

Incentive from Kent Austin?
"One game for all the marbles, and half that stadium's gonna be our fans!" @ 2:20
The influence I am referring to is how Rider fans claim that they make up a ridiculous percentage of the fans at opposition stadiums which the media feeds into. You will see claims this week that Saskatchewan fans are making up half of the attendance at McMahon this Sunday.
Cameron Dukes + Dan Adeboboye + Kevin Mital + David Ungerer + Damonte Coxie + DaVaris Daniels + Dejon Brissett = Unstoppable Force
Yet they had less than 31,000 yesterday. That is a bit of a head scratcher. Still a great crowd, but 6,500 less than their seasonal average makes no sense to me. It makes me think their season/flex pack sales were higher in order to guarantee the buyer a Grey Cup ticket.

Which likely happened here last year as well -- and this year the Argo org is paying for it as many buyers bailed out with no GC ticket on the horizon. The fact that the Argos won the GC also didn't help -- we already had the biggest GC and our team won; what else is there to cheer for, time to move on to other things, etc.
Toronto and Hamilton in the Eastern Final for the first time since 86 should draw 40 thou. Open up the 500 level.
I checked today as i ordered some tickets myself, there are quite a bit of selection left, i doubt they will sell everything.
