Just a heads up that a great Canadian buy and sell ticket site just added the CFL onto their platform.
Their fees blow the other big boys out of the water.  I have used their site for many of my Jets tickets the past few years and will use
them now for my extra bomber seats.
Check out fansfirst.ca and if you are wondering, I have zero vested interest in this company...its just a great site with very low costs for the seller
and zero costs for the buyer.
I know we have a buy and sell here but I have never had much success with it.

That's good to know, thanks!  Stubhub and TM commissions are just atrocious.  Anything is better than them when doing resale.  I've done a ton of Stubhub as a buyer and was severely disappointed with their help/policies the one time they sold me bum tickets (double-sold and someone else in the seat!).  They didn't give me squat in compensation!

The main problem with selling on this forum is it's like 99% STH (I think Goldie and I were the last, LOL) so extra tickets would only be handy if we were buying for friends, etc.
Never go full Rider!

Fans first is legit, I think they emailed me to tell me.  I used for Jets.  Good deal both ends

Very true Tecno, and I think you and I were the first a few years ago, met you and your son in my Section 231. I think I encouraged our admins here to put up the buy and sell section.  One good thing with using the fansfirst.ca is that sellers can remain anonymous if they feel the need.
The price Stubhub charges the seller is robbery and then they double dip and charge the buyer.

Yup, that was us.  I can recommend Bluehawk to anyone who needs tickets when he has extras.  They should rename it to the Bluehawk section!  ;D ;D

I often would talk about buying and selling tickets and then they made the sticky.  Back in the day tickers were cheap as borscht on there.  Went to lots of games for <$20 when Bombers sucked lol.

Listed an extra pair for Friday night on fansfirst.
Giving it a try.
