Heard recently that the Ottawa Redblacks have sold 12,000 season tickets for the upcoming season. Sounds pretty good to me.
Interesting tidbit is they have sold 500 of those season tickets to people with addresses in Gatineau. Doesn't sound like a lot but they are quite pleased with this. The defunct Ottawa Renegades had about 20 season ticket holders on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River.
The Ottawa Senators have sold about 300 season tickets on the Quebec side, or 3% of their total. (Of course, season tickets to NHL hockey are a much bigger commitment in time and money than to CFL football.)
About one third of the metro population of Ottawa-Gatineau is on the Quebec side of the river.
