Not sure of the cost- I would guess somewhere in the thousands. But let's say the cost is $10K. The Stamps/CFL/TSN have all made Labour Day into an "event"- one not to be missed. So for every ticket sold over and above what they normally sell; $1.50 went to the F18 flyby.
People (myself included) often complain about how bush league the CFL is. Then they decide to do something cool, and other people start in on how the CFL should be saving money.
