First question of the town hall "Why should I pay MLS prices for a Division 2 league".

Tommy goes on to mention that they have tickets anywhere from $13 to $200. Asks what this guy would pay. Guy responds with $25. Tommy says "We have tickets at that price you know".

Then goes on to clarify that the CPL is Canada's Division 1 league whereas MLS is the US' Division 1 league that happens to have 3 Canadian teams.

The guy who asked the question left shortly after.

IMO the new set of prices make much of the pricing complaint redundant. The expensive tickets are a lot less expensive now.

They are also making an effort to fill in the middle of the grandstand. The 45th anniversary special makes the bottom of 104/106 and top of 105 section cheaper than 103/107 was last year. Plus, with the special its only 3 bucks per game more than the next cheaper level. I'm pretty confident some season ticket holders will choose to take the upgrade for $3/ticket, which then leaves them more of the less expensive seats to sell on gameday.

Also - there is an error in the table above Shermanator - or at least I think so, because the original graphic from the club has a similar error. Sections 103/107 are showing in your table as different prices, but from the picture they are both the same price, just split front/back. It's confusing, because in the accompanying text from the club, section 103 isn't shown as split by rows, but does appear in both orange/red. Not a big deal but thought I'd mention it. Thanks for doing that, by the way - super helpful for those of us considering new season purchases.

Jersey etiquette question for everyone. I don't own a Calvary Jersey yet, will get one next year when I become a season ticket holder. So for today's game I'm going to the Stamps game after...so do I wear my Stamps jersey with Calvary scarf, or pack the Stamps jersey and put it on when I get to the stamps game? Or am I over thinking this way too much and it doesn't matter one way or the other?

That old guy was a bit senile. I tried having a conversation with him beforehand. He told me he was a Forge supporter (no, that's not the first sign of senility!), but I honestly only understood about 30% of his rambling.

Tommy handled how question really well.

Just wear the Stamps jersey with your Cavs scarf! No need to overthink it. You're supporting both teams on the same day, that's totally fine.

The combination of this code and halfway decent weather has me taking the family for our first Cavalry game this afternoon. While I was disappointed we were never able to get to one in the summer (stupid brother getting married...) this will still be great.

Quick question - what are the grandstand seats like? I mean the physical seats. I have 4 in a row and wasn't sure if they are separate seats or more like the bench seats at the ends of McMahon. Trying to pack seat warmth appropriately for a 3 and 5 year old...

In the most fitting tribute to Edmonton we can provide, the horses on the field for the national anthem, took a dump on Edmonton's half of the field.

Fellas
I can no longer find that page, where I can choose other seats. Only page I found on the Account Manager, is the ability to renew my existing tickets.
Was it removed? Moved? Help please.

That’ll do! Never really any doubt, even though it took a while for the goals to start flying.

Got some great seats last minute, perfect afternoon.

An absolute screamer by Brown.

Great win for the Cavs!

I think there needs to be changes for the playoff format.

As it stands now, there is no perk for coming in first both seasons. No home field advantage or anything.

Remove the “2 seasons”, if you have the best record after the year you win the championship.

If you are dead set in wanting a playoff, make it the top 2 for the season, and have the top seed have home field advantage in a 1 game playoff.

The presence of Forge after all this just make me so angry!!

An incredible afternoon! What a strike by Brown!

Fall season champs, left no doubt. I’m glad the players celebrated winning the fall and the Wildrose Cup. It’s worth celebrating.

Now back to work, time to get ready for Forge

And of course as discussed after the Spring season, no trophy for either half or the cumulative total of a 19-4-5 dominant season. Only the AL Classico.

Here's hoping we can overcome every little/big wrinkle and hurdle the CanPl, and the match officials, are going to be throwing at us over the next two weeks.

That's really crazy to me. Cavalry should get to play both games at home for the final (that shouldn't even be played in the first place)!

I am a little bit concerned that coverage of the fall season win with footage of the players hoisting the Wildrose Cup might actually convince some less familiar Calgarians that the season is truly over. I hope the media coverage keeps up going into the Finals.
