The first tranche of Grey Cup tickets being offered will be in January to both the 2019 AND 2019-20 season ticket holders. But...the 2020 season holders will be GUARANTEED their seats. Those that only renewed for 2019 will be guaranteed seats, but possibly not where they have their seasons.

If someone else can confirm, that 'd be awesome. I'm not going to give up my seats at all because of it, but just feels shady.
If you're not getting your seats guaranteed I wouldn't bother. GC tickets are wildly overpriced. Even if the Stamps are in next year's GC, I would bet getting a ticket for FV or below would be doable.

Why pay full price only to get allocated endzone seats? Just buy them direct or on the secondary market and choose your own seats.

I would be shocked if any NFL team had their entire stadium as ST eligible. Most teams cap the number for various reasons including the fact that they want at least some tickets available for game by game purchase. It keeps non STH happy and allows for extra revenue because single game tickets command a much higher price than ST do.
