Lets hope I can save up enough Air Miles so I can pay for the flights there. Also, lets hope people in Toronto notice that the Grey Cup is there unlike last time...

Not sure what that statement means. I’m from Toronto… I noticed. Did you actually go around asking people?

Anytime I heard sports radio, it was about how lousy the Leafs were, the Grey Cup was an after thought. The papers were the same. At a number of pubs that I went to around downtown, the majority I talked to didn't care or didn't know about it. The events themselves were good but the people there really didn't seem to care.

Well give I’m fairly sure the Argo’s season ticket base is in the 14,000 range, that should still leave a good amount of tickets leftover for the Rogers Centre. I hope to go

Anyone has a seating plan/chart from 2007....been searching for 1 all day

I was in section 532 in '07, IIRC it was a silver section paid around 220$ (179$ +tx + services fees)

2012 season tix are going to be very expensive for me.... if i keep my seat at the 2011 early bird price of $205, getting an additional seat in addition to my own grey cup ticket WILL NOT be cheap... and the "discount" doesn't apply to my tier, only the two most expensive ones... dunno if it would be worth going to grey cup if it costs as much as an ENTIRE season for one game... I ain't being cheap, just not made of money like all the bay street big wigs that go to leafs games.

Let me know if you need some help buying the extra ticket :slight_smile: I would love to go to the game and only pay the discount price.

I hope to heck that Toronto ignores this country's 100th Grey Cup as it will free up more tickets for Canadians nation-wide. :wink: :cowboy:

I would prefer that they did take notice… for the CFL’s sake in Ontario, Toronto may never go “whole hog” over the CFL again but any increase in notice (preferably positive) is better than nothing. and judging from the prices there should be MANY tickets left over for out of towners to grab up…

What are you guys talking about. The last GC in T.O, which sold out had a 550 buck top ticket. The last GC in T.O still holds the record for most revenue ever generated by a GC and made the owners over 6 million. If the GC tickets where cheap, then no one from Toronto would buy them, that's how it works here in the big Smoke

This is the truth.

At the end of the day, Toronto is a Leafs town rather than a sports town, but if they do want to draw some of the locals, pricing it like it’s an event is pretty much THE pre-requisite.

I definitely don’t think the tickets are cheap, but with this much lead time I’m sure I and those interested can scrounge together some loose change in time to buy. :wink:

Those are all good and valid points and 100% true :thup:

Exactly, Im not sure where the misnomer that the 2007 Grey Cup wasnt a success comes from. The game soldout and no it wasn`t just because the riders where there.

Anyways the ticket prices arent much different from other GC which is surprising. Toronto will do a great job with this, probably the best place in the country to do a thing like this. Say what you want about Toronto, but because of its citizens large insecurity and longing to be world class`, Toronto loves big events. The 100th Grey Cup is along the line of major events that people in the centre of the universe will support.
