Archduke al-Qaddafi Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 http://www.torontosun.com/2016/07/14/shocking-grey-cup-ticket-prices-show-argos-are-clueless-about-situation-in-toronto Is anyone actually planning to pay this much money for a CFL game? I was actually going to attend the Grey Cup this year, but now I am refusing on general principle. This years game will be a failure and a huge embarrassment for the league when many of the seats in BMO Field are empty. Quote
Boges Posted July 18, 2016 Report Posted July 18, 2016 People pay $300 plus regularly to see a losing team play Hockey. It is Toronto. Many corporate seats the be had. Quote

Archduke al-Qaddafi Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Posted July 26, 2016 People pay $300 plus regularly to see a losing team play Hockey. It is Toronto. Many corporate seats the be had. The NHL is still a professional league and the Leafs are a big thing in Toronto. As much as I like the CFL it is still bush league football, and they simply will not get away with Leafs-tier price gouging. Even MLSE's ability to overcharge on Leafs tickets is on shaky ground, which is why any attempts to put NHL teams in Hamilton or Markham have been torpedoed by the league. Quote
cybercoma Posted July 26, 2016 Report Posted July 26, 2016 Fascinating. I don't think I've ever met anyone who talks about the CFL. Quote
Boges Posted July 26, 2016 Report Posted July 26, 2016 Fascinating. I don't think I've ever met anyone who talks about the CFL. Well there isn't a team within several hundred kms of you. That could be why. It's huge out West and the Hamilton Tiger Cats have a loyal following an hour outside of Toronto. Quote

Guest Posted July 26, 2016 Report Posted July 26, 2016 Yeah, I'm not much of a pass the egg fan, but if I'm gonna watch it, I prefer the CFL to the NFL. And as I lived in Vancouver for twenty two years, I prefer the Lions overall. Quote

Even when I lived in Windsor, ON nobody really followed but that's probably because Lions games were 20 mins away vs Hamilton games being 4 hours away. Quote

And the Toronto Argos really struggle to draw because of other options throughout the season. But the league isn't irrelevant nationally. Quote
