East Final Attendance Watch

[Scooter McCray]

I am guessing by the looks of the Ticketmaster Map that they may be at 21,000 sold. I notice they do still release seats from lower bowl - but not in any crazy numbers, so it looks as though lower bowl is indeed sold out. Bleacher endzone continues to sell and should sellout.

We are at 6,000 seats left to a sellout. If the Tiger-Cats do make it in (I feel an upset brewing in Montreal), their fans should be good for 5,000. I do hope Toronto fans continue to buy. It appears that any promotion MLSE are planning to do to promote this game will occur next week only as they did last year - Leaf games, TV appearances, etc...By then Hamilton will be in the game and tickets will be gone. If Montreal get in, then those promotions will be useful.

Too bad they have not been more proactive. The tickets are selling because of organic demand for a successful Argo team. Not because of any specific marketing plan to sell the game to the public by ownership I'm afraid.

Leafs only have 1 game on TSN next week, and it’s Friday night, so I have my doubts any of their players will be there promoting the game.

Then I suppose the team should get players to a TFC game to promote the Eastern Final…oh wait…never mind.

In 2017, 2021, and 2022, the bulk of the promotion happened the week of the East Final so I would expect a push to happen next week.

Chad Kelly was at the Raptors game on Wednesday night. Was that a TSN game? Does it have to be at a TSN game that such a promotion would occur? The Leafs play at home next Wednesday night, I believe, so I don't see any reason why MLSE can't have players at that game to promote the East Final.
