As someone who's been out of the loop - how cheap are tickets, and is it a good way to spend an afternoon? Thinking of getting out to my first Cavalry game on Sunday.
Oh didn't realize they're on ticketmaster. Looks like mostly $50-$60 a ticket for decent seats, wow. Unfortunately won't make it out for those prices right now, on a bit of a budget with every cost in the entire universe kicking everyone in the *** right now.
Is there secondary sellers where you can snag some cheaper tickets on gamely?

I sell my season tickets regularly, but I have one seat in the supporters section. $25 a pop. Most people don't even sit in their assigned seats anyways over there, but if you might have to participate in the chanting, drums, flag waving, and smoke bombs

We've got a ticket exchange thread in our FB group for people to buy / sell tickets, but there's nothing up right now. Usually there are a few tickets for good prices there, although most of them are in the supporters section.
There are a couple seats in section 108, first row up on Ticketmaster for $31 a piece. That's probably your best bet.
There's no tickets available in the 200's? Those, or on the grass on the north side, would be the cheapest tickets available - and there should be some available, no?
Derek Martin who is part of the ownership group of Halifax mentioned that there should be good news around FC Edmonton's ownership to be announced in the next month or two. Skip to the 28 minute mark.
I love to rip on Edmonton but having Edmonton in CPL and stable only benefits Cavalry and the league as a whole.

Found you some tickets in 107 for $15 a piece. DM me if you want them I'll get you in touch with the guy...

Dooo it. At that price, you definitely won't regret it. It looks like the weather will be perfect. Come a bit early and soak it all in because there's music, food, and even just walking around is quite nice. It is a strange but great setting for a soccer game and it really is a unique and enjoyable "day out".
Ticket prices in the main stand are still a bit pricey, and the club will eventually learn than a cheaper ticket means more bums in the seats, and that an empty seat won't buy any beer, sausages, or merch. I firmly believe that they'd make MORE money by reducing ticket prices. But this horse has been beaten and is very dead at this point.
But until then, the 200s are good value if you can get 'em, and down on the end in 108 and 109 are not bad seats and are still close to the fun corner. Close enough to the Foot Soldiers to see and hear them well, and still a decent view of the pitch.

Looks like there's also a Big Rock promotion where you get a ticket and beer for $30. Which is cheaper than my "cheapest ticket in the stadium" and a beer.
Back two rows of sections 104-106.

100% this. I've been enjoying our season tickets this year. As you say, it's a fun day out, but the way things are heading with increasing life costs, I don't know if I can justify it next season.

They are still too high, yes. But they also have come down considerably since that first year. IIRC some of the sections had season ticket prices cut almost in half. I think if you were to get ticket prices down another $10 a ticket everywhere in the stadium that would be the right fit.
Having said that, I think that the damage of high ticket prices has already been done. Cavalry missed out on a lot of initial support by pricing things the way they did in 2018, and it's been a lot of work to attract new fans and increase the season ticket base since. It's not a simple situation where you can just cut ticket prices in half and suddenly get double the people to games.
They are the only club to get more people to games this year than 2019 though, so IMO they're still trending the right way.

They'd probably have to spend decent money on an ad campaign coinciding with the ticket price drops or else nobody's going to know. As you said, they lost out on a lot of people on the initial season, and those people aren't randomly checking ticket prices every so often to see if they've gone down.
