Welcome to the forums!

I think you are the first one to notice that.

Also. the 2013 seating chart also shows "sideline suites" which were not present at the previous games. I wonder what they will go for?

Those are more for corporate sponsors anyway (there are many many suites at the Riders' stadium now and I have no idea/don't really care what they cost as they just aren't applicable to me.

Also, one can't expect prices to stay the sme year after year. I'm not sure about the not having cheaper lower endzone seats, but the increase to platinum works out to inflation of ~3%/yr which isn't bad.

Ticket price increase was the first thing I did noticed, but the increase was so miniscule that it's irrelevant to me. I'm gunning for a pair of Platinum seats in the Western section come presale. Same section I sat during the last game.

The End Zone bleachers are like a can of sardines. I sat there during the first game and never again.

The way I look at it, I'm prepared to pay $100 a ticket for my 2-3 hours of entertainment. Since there's no Magnetic Hill concerts this summer, my budget has opened up for other things.

Anyone have the link for the presale? I signed up on CFL.ca but haven't received anything.

Let's hope not. Halifax is the largest metro area in the region, and should be the only option for a CFL team in Atlantic Canada for now. Moncton is just too small.

habs33 · #**1067** Posted **May 23, 2013, 3:11 PM**

Just got that too

thanks

Got my platinum tickets

BlackYear · #**1071** Posted **May 24, 2013, 1:25 PM**

Platinum was sold out for me in the West, so I settled for Gold in section 7, row A.

I'm really really happy with Row A.

habs33 · #**1072** Posted **May 24, 2013, 1:37 PM**

got my tickets in section 2 row F

I have to miss the game this year - conference in Toronto....

I'll be sure to watch it on TV though; lots of publicity for Moncton (which is golden)

Would someone be able to take photos of the high school and university games this year? I run into people all the time that don't believe me when I tell them what a big deal these games are down there, so photos would help a lot.

I would if I could, but unfortunately I'll be out of town. Hopefully someone else will take some pics for you, especially of the student pride competitions on the field at halftime, or of the BMHS procession up the park roadway before the Highlanders game.....

I was back online yesterday afternoon buying a couple of tickets for a friend of mine, and I decided to filter through the available seats to see what was left for available seats.

I estimate that the grandstand on the CEPS side is 95% sold out. The bigger grandstand across the field is about 50-60% sold out, both end zones are about 50% sold out.

I based this estimate by selecting 2 Best Seats Available within random sections.

Mark Cohon says he has a `5 year plan` on Atlantic expansion, whatever that means...
