41% off is the only way to sell most of their tickets, to be honest. $150 for anything in the middle sections is absolutely absurd.

They are panicking hard right now. They thought the hype of the team was going to get families to spend $500 for a night out at a Stamps game at a dump because they're complete idiots, lol.

For the Stamps to offer two huge discounts in the same week (one was one section and pretty insignificant) means they are panicking HARD in the front office.

Agreed with jayswin. So silly. I honestly can’t understand it. You want butts in seats and eyes on tv… price your product properly. This isn’t NHL hockey. It’s not illegal to sell your tickets for a lower price. $150 for CFL football isn’t good value. In fact it’s horrendous. These aren’t millionaires and they aren’t the best in their class. The games can and are occasionally boring.

Price your product so that people come into the building, generate a buzz, get the word of mouth going, sell more hot dogs, beers, popcorn and jerseys, sell more parking, sell more 50/50. Guaranteed you do better than 1/3 to 1/2 full (I’m being SUPER generous here) at higher price points. No Stamps ticket should be priced for more than like $50 IMO.

And just price your tickets at that level without the silly “discount”. Edwards greed- right here. Great example.

Yeah it doesnt make sense to charge NHL ticket prices that are good seats in the dome. They need to find a way to get more butts in the stadium and it starts with ticket prices.

I looked at tickets for the Aug 23 rider game and noped the #### out. $150/ticket for good seats. Around $100 per ticket for anything half decent. It’s insane.

The whole math of they’d rather sell 18k at $125avg price than 25k at $60 should not apply here. Your fandom is dying. You need butts in seats for long term fan growth. I might pay $150 for a pair of premium seats. If I’m sitting at the 25 yard line in a proper seat it should be $50 or less. If I’m on a bench it should be $25.

Good news for Winnipeg and the CFL, Collaros is taking first team reps at Bombers practice today.

Stamps should offer all UofC students game day tickets for like $20.

Butts in seats, check
Beer sales, check
Younger audience, check

They do have a very good student discount. White seats are usually $20, with good discounts for blue and red. But I don't think it's very well advertised. Try this link:

Hey everyone!

Scored some free tickets to the game tomorrow, so I'll be heading down with my 6 year old!!

I haven't been to a game in probably 10+ years... what would anyone suggest for the best means of getting down there from the Willowpark/SE area??? Is parking relatively easy, or should I look at the LRT instead??

Stamps depth chart versus the Als is below - Jeshrun Antwi is back as well as William Langlais to give Calgary several options in the running game.

With a 6 year old, I'd take the train, even if that means driving north some and then hitting a park and ride.

They are included in the Student Rush offer that was mentioned right below the original post.
