Pretty reasonable pricing - especially for season ticket holders.

No temp seating? Kind of surprising.

Have they added temp seating at a later time before.

I don't think they did last time it was at Igf. They had fall out boy off the Field in the north stands area. Was pretty good - bought last minute tickets on Kijiji for that one.

Will prob buy my seats for this game. 249 is a decent price for a championship game.

I believe the league axed the temp seating/min number of seats requirement several years ago. It's kind of a relic of the past when everything was gate-driven and the TV concept was more secondary. Probably also had something to do with the proliferation of non-Toronto cities bidding for the game ("OK you can host but you better make your venue as big as Toronto or else!!1!").

Saves the host team the headache of being responsible for the stands and selling them out to make their money back.

I thought they did because ACDC was here and I remember temp seating for ACDC (unless I am miss-remembering).

It was only half of the stadium though (south end zone).

You can see it in the back there

You are correct...I was scrolling through my camera roll as well. I only had pics of the field

Blueforlife · August 16, 2024, 06:53:32 PM

I got mine! My seat were $250 but I found better ones for $200, get em early if you are in the nose bleeds as you might get a better seat like I did. I moved up in the stands up closer to centre field. I might be in Maui for the GC but we shall see, might have to change my travel plans. Surfing or CFL.............

Very easy to do online and you can pay for them with the 12 monthly plan!

I'll be watching the game from a hot air balloon floating above the stadium and selling GOODYEAR Blimp like shots to TSN AND CTV!!

Yup. 100% temp stands were above south EZ. They made the entire south concourse area a real walking nightmare not only for the GC game but for the couple of games beforehand! I think it added like 3k seats? Or was it only 1k?

If the '25 GC sells out really fast, they can always change their mind and add those seats: unless they are completely committed to having that deck area up on the building there for VIPs.

"Current or new season ticket members who opt to sign up for the three-year auto-renewal plan will save up to $100 per seat"

How do we know if we have this? How do we do this? Is this the same thing as Bomber For Life?

If I'm reading this correctly, being a STH won't get you the discount: you have to be an auto-renew STH.

(I haven't done it yet... always keep meaning to...)

There's probably an option online, but it might just be easiest to call one of the Bomber support people and get signed up for the Bomber for life deal. Monthly payments, sign up for the 3 year deal, get your cheap Cup tix.

I just bought my Cup tickets. I'm like vibrating with excitement. This is so awesome.

Waffler · August 17, 2024, 04:12:50 PM

Probably will be temp seating but wise not to sell the tickets until they know the exact setup. They will be last to go anyway.
