As a result of the large crowd at IGF on Thursday night, the AC/DC concert, what can the Bombers expect as far as revenue from that event? As much as a Home game?

Do the Bombers receive revenue from rental of the facility, concessions, partnerships, and parking?

Seemed there was a lot of liquor sales, maybe more than a Bomber game.

I've been told that the Bombers essentially rent out the facility for a set fee to True North for concerts and also get a percentage of the concessions.

The average profit for each concert for the Blue Bombers is half a million dollars. That's pure profit.

That's a lot of money! Great for the club.

I would like to know how you come up with a figure of 500k?

Garth Buchko and Jim Bell told me a few years ago.

With FIFA, AC/DC, Semi Finals and the Grey Cup we should do OK for this year.

 

I knew Jim Bell was an accountant but did not know Buchko could count.

FIFA was many dates. An NHL Winter Classic would have been the icing on the cake this year. The various revenue streams is very helpful for the long term viability of the Blue.

One direction concert too

I'd bet the Pinnacle Club is for rent for a private function.

Exactly. I challenge you sir!

What Semi-finals?

Well, they need those other streams of cash because the Bombers are not going to be capable of it if they don't start fielding a real CFL team.
