October 23, 20159 yr Author comment_163002 I was at a conference yesterday held at IGF. The whole thing was set up pretty darn nicely by the Bomber folks - so kudos on that front. Wade spoke to the crowd of a couple hundred at lunch and talked about how they are really trying to (re)connect with the business community. He asked all those with Grey Cup tickets to stand - pretty sad to see no more than 2 or 3 people standing. I think the tickets are over priced. They needed the team to be playing well to be selling the tickets at those prices. I suspected this nearly a year ago when ticket prices were announced. Miller and the organizing committee learned nothing from Vancouver last year.

October 23, 20159 yr comment_163011 Joey must be in his 70's now... His fans are all hipsters as in hip replacements. I can relate... LOL!

October 23, 20159 yr comment_163061 I'm not going because it will be freezing cold , tickets are over priced and no teams that I care will be playing. Push the season back a month and lower the price and I would of gone.
October 23, 20159 yr comment_163076 The average winter temp this year Is rumored to be plus 3. It won't be cold. Wouldn't be surprised if there Is no snow. If plus 3 is cold to a resident of winnipeg I suggest you grow some balls

If plus 3 is cold to a resident of winnipeg I suggest you grow some balls I froze my ass off watching a beer can flying towards the Rocket. At plus 3/ the temp is OK, the price and the lack of giving a **** on the teams are bigger factors. Zero interest in the cfl this season.
October 23, 20159 yr comment_163194 1st Grey Cup - last Sunday - record cold - 51k+ 2nd Grey Cup - next to last Sunday - record warm - 34k+ lowest since 75 and currently lowest in the last 40 years 3rd Grey Cup - next to last Sunday - above normal - 44k+ 4th Grey Cup - last sunday - TBD - 38k+ The first Grey Cup scared off a large number of people and the fact the tickets were now $100+ killed the 2nd one.
October 23, 20159 yr comment_163199 Bring back the 90's with Luba Everytime I see the Grey Cup ticket prices I cry. Oh, I cry.
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165866 Update on ticket sales: Bob Irving @BobIrvingCJOB Bombers have now sold 32,054 grey cup tickets, getting closer to a sellout.
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165868 the bombers will make some cash at that level, which is good to see
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165887 Update on ticket sales: Bob Irving @BobIrvingCJOB Bombers have now sold 32,054 grey cup tickets, getting closer to a sellout. That's less then what was previously estimated i believe.
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165888 the bombers will make some cash at that level, which is good to see I doubt it but we'll see. This is the Bombers we are talking about.
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165889 They won't make the money they thought that they would and that's going t hurt the bottom line. This team will be going hat in hand to the provincial government in the coming years if things don't change.
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165891 You wonder if having to reduce the seating capacity will impact the possibility of hosting future Cups?
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165900 Why is Wiecek tweeting still 4,000 tickets available? Because that's what it is. This place will hold just over 36,000 on the 29th.
November 3, 20159 yr comment_165901 they had 35,156 for the rider game, which i think was a sell out or very close to it so they are short , 3,100 tickets at about $ 200 each say about $600,000 k so they should make close to 3.5 mil, which will be still great, but not 5 mil and if the y sell the balance , they will do well
