^^ Tailgate ticket is $30 so reasonable.

Can we assume that there are 5k or so more people (hopefully more) that deem this as something worth seeing. Does this mean that there is still a potential audience out there and they're not as dead as some of the trolls want us to believe.
Could the situation be similar to Ottawa where apathy with the younger audience wasn't a bad thing because it wasn't bad branding. It was just no brand, and that could be rebuilt (according to Jeff Hunt).

I'd rather not focus on negative people so don't want to get into that at all. The statement put out by the Argonauts said that there were still 5 days to go so I'm assuming the 20,000 tickets level was reached by Monday night/Tuesday morning. That's plenty of time to sell the remaining 5,000 seats.
There are always people who wait to the last minute to buy and/or climb aboard if it's going to be a big crowd. Even if this falls short of a sell out and we end up with 23,000 at BMO it's going to have great atmosphere. That's more than 90% full and this will be the first playoff game at BMO Field for the franchise.
I have my tickets and going with a great group of guys. It's a guaranteed good time for me so I'm happy as a clam.
