The club actually
gave away lots of tickets to the game this past Saturday. If you signed up for their "Bomber of Life" monthly payment plan they gave you two free tickets to the game. The season average is also heavily propped up by those "free" tickets. This is the
third time this season, four if you count the pre-season game, they have given free tickets to just about every season ticket holder account. And that is without trying to get free tickets from them.

No, true attendance it not rising, if anything it is actually falling. The Bombers will try to tell you the attendance is tickets scanner into the game (ie butts in seats) but it seems much more likely the announced attendance is tickets issued to the game.
As for the cold weather game, I know there are lots of season ticket holders that skip the cold weather games every year. If you believe there was anywhere near the 25,000 announced attendance at the game on Saturday you can start planning the Jets Stanley Cup parade for June.
